Product Description

Beckhoff produces the CX8080, a small embedded PC intended for use in industrial automation. Its major component is an Arm9TM processor with a 400 MHz clock speed. Even though this CPU isn't the most potent by today's standards, it was picked because of its performance and power efficiency balance, which is important in industrial settings where dependability and low energy usage are critical. Because of its RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computing) architecture, which enables effective instruction execution, the Arm9TM architecture is well-suited for real-time control tasks that are often encountered in automation. With 512 MB of microSD flash memory, this embedded PC has more than enough room to store data, application code, and the operating system. Using microSD gives system designers flexibility by making it simple to expand or replace storage as required. The flash memory is complemented with 64 MB of DDR2 RAM.

The passive cooling system of the CX8080 is one of its noteworthy features. This integrated PC uses heat sinks and natural convection to disperse heat rather than fans, which might malfunction and bring dust into the system. Because of its improved construction, the CX8080 is more dependable and appropriate for demanding industrial settings where vibration and dust may be issues. Furthermore, the device's low power usage of just 3W demonstrates how passive cooling promotes energy efficiency. This low power consumption lowers the system's thermal footprint and operating expenses. A 24 V DC power source with a tolerance of -15% to +20% powers the CX8080. Even in the face of voltage variations, which may be frequent in industrial settings, this broad input voltage range guarantees dependable functioning. Numerous interfaces for networking and communication are included with the device. It has a bus interface with RS232 and RS485 ports for serial connection, a USB device port for attaching peripherals, and a 10/100 Mbit/s Ethernet interface for network connectivity.

The CX8080's resistance to electromagnetic interference is shown by its compliance with EMC immunity standards EN 61000-6-2 and EN 61000-6-4. Additionally, the gadget complies with IP20 protection regulations, which means that it is shielded from solid objects bigger than 12 mm but not from liquids. The CX8080 has a built-in UPS with 1 MB of backup on the microSD card for increased dependability. This reduces downtime and possible data loss by guaranteeing that important data is kept safe in the case of a power outage. Wake Industrial gives customers peace of mind and guarantees the quality of the product with a one-year warranty on the CX8080.
