Embedded PCs with an Arm^® Cortex^® CPU

The embedded PC series combines higher computing power and modern Arm^® Cortex^®-A53 architecture in a compact format.

The CX8210 Embedded PC is a control with an EtherCAT slave interface. It features an Arm^® Cortex^®-A53 dual-core processor with 1.2 GHz. The basic configuration of the CX8200 includes a 1 Gbit Ethernet interface, a USB 3.0 interface, a 1 GB LPDDR4 RAM, and a slot for a microSD card. The microSD card is not included in the scope of delivery and must be ordered separately, taking the desired memory capacity into account.

The CX8280 Embedded PC has two serial interfaces, one with RS232 and one with RS485 physics. These are both located on the D-sub socket. They are not bound to any particular protocol and can be used with the corresponding TwinCAT 3 Functions for the different serial communication protocols.

The CX8290 Embedded PC is a controller with a second, switched Ethernet port. Protocols such as real-time Ethernet, ADS UDP/TCP, and EAP (EtherCAT Automation Protocol) are supported, and additional real-time protocols such as PROFINET, EtherNet/IP™, and BACnet/IP can be retrofitted via TwinCAT Functions.

The compact, DIN rail mountable PC controller for universal use with modern Arm^® Cortex^®-A53 architecture.

With the CX series of Embedded PCs, Beckhoff has combined PC technology and modular I/O level to form a space-saving DIN rail unit in the control cabinet.
