Product Description

The CX9020-0115 is a small yet efficient Embedded PC unit belonging to the Beckhoff CX Series family. Best of all, since it comes with a 1 GHz Arm Cortex-A8 processor this unit performs on top levels within its category. The system includes 1 GB of DDR3 RAM which allows faster retrieval of regularly accessed information however, it excludes any upgrades. This CX9020-0115 has 512 MB of flash memory, which is divided between uploads and two microSD slots in case more space is required.

The Connectivity of this CX9020-0115 is also remarkable as it comes with Enet access to incorporated switch pitching in 2 x RJ45 Ethernet ports and rated at 10/100 Mbit/s speed. Likewise, external devices can be connected through the use of 4 x USB 2.0 ports and display units connected through 1 x DVI-D interface. The CX9020-0115 powers Windows Embedded Compact 7. Moreover, the device provides an optional TwinCAT 3 runtime software to implement control tasks in a wide range on this Embedded PC. The CX9020-0115 is designed with passive cooling. Its 24 V DC power supply, -15% to +20%, guarantees stable operation in non-industrial applications, where the power conditions are unpredictable. The 128 kB NOVRAM ensures secure storage of important data, so it does not erase upon a loss of power.

Regardless of the feature richness of the embedded controller, the CX9020-0115 has a very low power profile, with maximum power consumption of 5 W, thus an energy efficient solution. The I/O connection provided by the device is flexible in that it supports not only E-bus and K-bus but also automatically recognizes Beckhoff's modular I/O systems, thereby enhancing compatibility and adaptability in several applications. This device also supports 2 A of current supply to the I/O system.
