CX9010 | Basic CPU module
The CX9010 is a compact, DIN rail-mountable Ethernet controller with Intel® IXP420 with XScale® technology and 533 MHz clock frequency. The connection for the Beckhoff I/O systems is directly integrated in the CPU module. The CX9010 is available in two basic versions: one version for Bus Terminals with K-bus, the other one for EtherCAT Terminals with E-bus. The CX9010 comprises the CPU, the internal flash memory, the main memory (RAM) and NOVRAM as non-volatile memory. Two Ethernet RJ 45 interfaces are also part of the basic configuration. These interfaces are connected to an internal switch and offer a simple option for creating a line topology without the need for additional Ethernet switches.
A memory medium in Compact Flash format I and II is available as an optional module. The operating system is Microsoft Windows CE. The TwinCAT 2 automation software transforms a CX9010 system into a powerful PLC and Motion Control system that can be operated with or without visualisation. Further system interfaces can be connected to the CPU module ex factory. The CX9010-N010 option can be connected to Beckhoff Control Panels or standard monitors with DVI or VGA input via the DVI or USB interfaces. Devices such as printer, scanner, mouse, keyboard, mass storage, CD-RW, etc. can be connected via the USB 2.0 interfaces. The module CX9010-N030 offers two serial RS232 interfaces with a maximum transfer speed of 115 kbaud. These two interfaces can be implemented as RS422/RS485, in which case they are identified as CX9010-N031.
