Beckhoff Automation, S.A. - Embedded computers, single board computers and integrated computers

With the series CX2000, Beckhoff presents the second generation of the family of PC embebidos entered in the market in 2002. The PC embebidos CX2030 and CX2040 implement an essential characteristic: processors of several cores. In this way, these controllers embebidos also cover provision that up to now were limited to the industrial PC. Another essential characteristic of the new series of PC embebidos is the bus of internal extension, based in PCI-Expresses,with which connect the interfaces of system with the complete bandwidth of a PCI Expresses Lane. The equipment CX2000 are instrumented with processors Intel® of second generation of the series of 32 nm («Sandy Bridge»). Also there is disposal types Celeron® of low consumption, that allow the operation without fan. The operating system benefits of the integrated cheese cheese graphic core and fast, as well as of the memory DDR3 faster. They present three equipment of the new series CX2000:1. CX2020 | 2nd Generation Intel Celeron 1,4 GHz, single-core2. CX2030 | 2nd Generation Intel Core i7 1,5 GHz, dual-core3. CX2040 | 2nd Generation Intel Core i7 2,1 GHz, quad-coreAl the same that in the PC embebidos of the first generation, the new equipment CX2000 are built with individual components that the user can commission separately and mount easily in situ joining up them. The concept of the carcasa combines a metallic basic body with frontal of special plastic of apantallamiento. The basic module of the CPU of the new series CX presents always a port DVI, four ports USB and two ports Ethernet. An internal slot configurable of factory and that acts like a «Magic Interface» can execute optionally an incredible variety of types of interfaces: they are possible so much the executions like teacher of bus decampo and slave, e.g. for EtherCAT (slave), PROFINET, Ethernet/IP,PROFIBUS, CANopen, DeviceNet, as also the interfaces of series (RS232/RS422/RS485). The modularidad of the equipment CX2000 in the left part of the CPU bases in PCI Expresses like system of bus and offers a bandwidth of 5 GT/s by channel PCIe TX/RX. This allows the connection of the most miscellaneous interfaces; e.g. they can connect until four modules with two ports Ethernet of 1 GBit independent respectively. Or until eight interfaces of series, realised by pairs like RS232 oRS422/RS485. Also it can multiply the number of interfaces possible USB: can connect four interfaces USB-2.0 of high speed(480 MB/s) by module. The PC embebido combines the technology of PC estandardizada with specific properties to obtain an industrial controller. From the punto of the hardware, the equipment of the series CX2000 are totally compatible with the terminal of bus Beckhoff and the terminal EtherCAT. The new is the automatic recognition of the system I/Or respective in the module of source of feeding. From the punto of the software, the new generation CX continues bearing exclusively the operating systems Microsoft, in shape of Windows Embedded Standard 7 or, in function of the availability, Windows 8.
