Product Description

The CX1500-B520 is one of the high-performance embedded PCs propelled into the CX Series by Beckhoff for easy integration. It also works with field buses such as DeviceNet for seamless connection of devices within the industrial process. The data rate is up to 125, 250 and 500 kbaud where effective information is exchanged among network devices.

The CX1500-B520 can be connected to a maximum of 63 slaves, thus increasing system scalability thanks to an open style connector and a 5 pin bus interface. This device is capable of dealing with a maximum of 255 bytes for both input and output, thus addressing all forms of data management in automation tasks. Maximum power loss is low, standing at 1.8 W, thus active energy saving is realized. With very small measurements of 38 mm x 100 mm x 91 mm and light weight of about 190 g, installation is made easy especially in places with limited space.

The CX1500-B520 is constructed to have a long-life expectancy even when exposed to operating and storage temperature ranges of approximately 0 to +55°C/-25 to +85°C. This implies that it can be used in a very wide range of situations without succumbing to operational failure. Furthermore, it is consistent with performance lateral and shock resistance measures which are described in great detail under EN 60068-2-6/EN 60068-2-27. As far as the electromagnetic compatibility is of concern, the product satisfies the EN 61000-6-2/EN 61000-6-4 requirements regarding the operation in such an interfacing device low interference environment. However, the cover affords a protection rating of IP20 implying that the product is indoor. The CX1500-B520 is limited in use to TwinCAT 2 software wherein this particular system is already in presence and incorporated.
