If users are looking for connections that enable the integration of a CX1010/CX1020 system system as a slave control, so it can process and receive data from the master, this is a product to consider investing in. The advantages behind this are various, as each slave connection in the CX system comes with a DPRAM interface, which serves as memory for the I/O data.

In addition, the utilization of a CX system as subordinate distribution control is possible with the use of a fieldbus slave module. Parallel operation of various identical or different slave connections is also possible, such as two PROFIBUS slaves, or one PROFIBUS and a CANopen slave.

The basic CX1010 module is the basic device of the CX family. With a 500 MHz Intel® Pentium® MMX-compatible processor it offers average CPU performance.

Depending on the application, the CX1010 can also be operated in “headless” mode, i.e. without display and keyboard. While the resulting control system has no visualization, it does have communications capability via the built-in Ethernet interface. If local visualization is required, this can be implemented via a DVI (digital video interface), to which all Beckhoff Control Panels and all commercially available monitors with DVI or VGA input can be connected. The touch screen signal is read via one of the two available USB interfaces.

The components

System interfaces: as an option, a DVI and two USB interfaces can be added to the existing Ethernet interface. Further system interfaces for serial communication (2 x RS232 or 2 x RS422/485) or audio signals can be ordered separately.
Operating system: There is a choice of no operating system, Microsoft Windows Embedded CE 6
