BECKHOFF CX9020 - Manual (Page 8)

Product overview
For CX9020 the familiar basic principle applies: it is a programming tool for all controllers.
The complete programming of PLC, Motion Control and visualisation is transferable to all PC controls from
Beckhoff, which is reassuring in cases where it becomes apparent during a project that more processing
power is required after all. In this case a system with higher performance can be used.
Optional interfaces:
The optional interfaces can be used to connect single­channel fieldbus interfaces. Operation is limited to one
interface at a time. If several fieldbus interfaces are required, they can be added as E­bus terminals
(EL67xx). The following fieldbus interfaces are available:
• CX9020­N020 = Audio, 3 x 3.5 mm jack plugs, Line­In, Mic­In, Line­Out
• CX9020­N030 = RS232, D­Sub connector, 9­pin
• CX9020­N031 = RS422/RS485,D­Sub socket, 9­pin
• CX9020­B110 = EtherCAT slave, EtherCAT IN und OUT (2 x RJ 45)
• CX9020­M310 = PROFIBUS master, D­Sub socket, 9­pin
• CX9020­B310 = PROFIBUS slave,D­Sub socket, 9­pin
• CX9020­M510 = CANopen master, D­Sub socket, 9­pin
• CX9020­B510 = CANopen slave, D­Sub socket, 9­pin
• CX9020­M930 = PROFINET RT, controller Ethernet (2 x RJ 45)
• CX9020­B930 = PROFINET RT, device, Ethernet (2 x RJ­45­Switch)
• CX9020­B950 = EtherNet/IP slave, Ethernet (2 x RJ­45­Switch)
The software
In combination with the TwinCAT automation software, the CX9020 Industrial PC becomes a powerful IEC
61131­3 PLC with up to four user tasks. Additionally, Motion Control tasks can also be executed. Depending
on the required cycle time, several servo axes can be controlled.
The CX9020 system is programmed in the same way as other bus controllers:
Remote programming via Ethernet
This option is used if the basic unit is equipped with “Windows Embedded Compact 7”. In this case, the
system is programmed via a laptop or a desktop PC, which is connected to the CX via Ethernet (network or
crossover cable). The programs are developed on the laptop with a standard TwinCAT software licence and
then loaded into the target device.
