The unit employs a passive cooling system which provides for silent operation, higher reliability, and lower service requirements as there are no fans for cooling. A 1-second integrated UPS with the help of a microSD card offers power backup for a short interval averts data loss and system crashes. This Embedded PC features a DIN rail mounting efficient, small form factor chassis, which is ideal for use in industrial settings where space is at a premium and installation is easy. It is compatible with Windows CE.NET which offers a reliable operating system suitable for different industrial uses. Beckhoff suggests that to ensure that the storage will work to its full potential, only Beckhoff Compact Flash (CF) cards should be used. This unit comes preconfigured in a modular design thus allowing you to expand the unit and add more modules to meet your specific needs.
It is designed to function effectively in the temperature range that is common for industrial applications and this device is constructed to be mechanically resilient in the course of transport and storage. The compatibility with TwinCAT 3 provides a high level of programming mechanisms for software control. The CX1800-1072 has important protective measures such as a locking screw on the CF card slot and shock resistance, which guarantees the protection of the system from physical and operational hazards in industrial environments. Wake Industrial offers a one-year guarantee on this device.
