Description
Beckhoff CX9001-1001
Technical Specifications Processor: Intel IXP420 XScale, 533 MHz; RAM: 128 MB non-expandable; flash memory: 32 MB internal non-expandable; two 10/100 Mbit/s Ethernet ports with integrated network switch; K-Bus interface for Beckhoff Bus Terminals; I/O DPRAM 4 kB, non-volatile RAM 128 kB; battery-backed real-time clock; power supply 24 V DC with -15% / +20% tolerance; maximum power consumption 6.5 W; dimensions 59 × 100 × 91 mm; weight approximately 250 g; operating temperature 0 ℃ to +50 ℃; protection grade IP20.
Functional Features TwinCAT CE runtime implements IEC 61131-3 PLC, NC PTP motion control and visualisation data server; internal Ethernet switch allows daisy-chain network topology without extra network hardware; K-Bus provides direct connection to digital, analogue and counter terminal modules; battery retains clock and non-volatile variables during power loss; front panel LEDs indicate power, LAN activity, K-Bus status and flash access.
Application Scenarios Small packaging machine control, material handling conveyor systems, test bench automation, woodworking auxiliary axes, building HVAC control systems.
Material Composition Aluminum alloy heat sink housing; FR4 multilayer embedded control PCB; industrial XScale processor and memory chips; RJ45 Ethernet connectors; K-Bus gold-plated backplane connector; replaceable lithium clock battery.
Structural Characteristics Compact vertical DIN rail housing; front side carries LED diagnostic indicators and Ethernet ports; bottom K-Bus connector interfaces with terminal block segments; internal layout separates high-speed processor circuits and K-Bus I/O signal lines.
Working Principle After power-up, the embedded PC boots Windows CE 5 and launches TwinCAT runtime. The PLC task scans K-Bus I/O terminals cyclically, executes user control program, processes motion setpoints and communicates process data over Ethernet to HMI or supervisory systems.
Installation Requirements Mount vertically on standard DIN rail; maintain vertical airflow clearance above and below unit; use shielded Ethernet cables; replace lithium clock battery before expiry date to prevent clock loss; confirm K-Bus terminal count and power budget.
Operation Notes Back up TwinCAT project to external storage before firmware modification; avoid operation above 50 ℃ ambient temperature; do not disconnect K-Bus terminals while controller is running.
