Product Description

The CX1000-0012 CPU Module is developed by Beckhoff for automation applications. It is an efficient control unit customized for industrial automation within the CX system series. This compact CPU module uses Windows CE as its operating system to operate at a clock speed of 266 MHz. Its key features include 64 MB Compact Flash memory, Ethernet support, and a COM1 serial port. 

Key features model it for embedded applications that require remote access and reliable control capabilities. The integrated Beckhoff’s TwinCAT software and powerful setup for automation tasks make CX1000-0012 CPU Module a capable PLC and motion control device. This enhances its automation, capability to handle multiple tasks, and various control functions. With TwinCAT compatibility, the CX1000-0012 CPU Module can provide flexibility for tasks like controlling servo axes and enabling special functions such as electronic gearing. The module also supports fieldbus connections for Beckhoff Lightbus, CANopen, Profibus DP, and DeviceNet by configuring in master or slave modes. This connectivity expands the functionality of the module across larger automation systems by enabling integration with other Beckhoff components like Bus Couplers and Controllers.

The CX1000-0012 CPU Module is designed with high scalability to include a PC104 bus. This allows connection to additional modules within the CX series. It also supports further memory expansion with its Compact Flash slot features to ensure data retention during power interruptions. The passively managed cooling ensures its continued operation.  The module can measure 57 mm x 100 mm x 91 mm while having diagnostic LEDs for power and network status. The unit operates through a CX1100 power supply which can be supplied with RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 connections for enhanced serial communication. This module is a reliable choice for automation solutions because of its 12-month warranty.
