Product overview
CX50x010 Version: 1.9
For CX50x0 the familiar basic principle applies: it is a programming tool for all controllers.
The complete programming of PLC, Motion Control and visualization 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.
Fieldbus interfaces
The fieldbus interfaces are currently available as master and slave versions for the following fieldbuses:
Optional interfaces:
The optional interfaces can be used to connect single-channel fieldbus interfaces. Operation is limited to one
interface at a time. If several fieldbus interfaces are required, they can be added as E-bus terminals
(EL67xx). The following fieldbus interfaces are available:
• CX50x0-N030 = RS232, D-Sub connector
• CX50x0-N031 = RS422/RS485, D-Sub socket
• CX50x0-M310 = PROFIBUS master, D-Sub socket, 9-pin
• CX50x0-B310 = PROFIBUS slave, D-Sub socket, 9-pin
• CX50x0-M510 = CANopen master, D-Sub connector, 9-pin
• CX50x0-B510 = CANopen slave, D-Sub connector, 9-pin
• CX50x0-M930 = PROFINET RT, controller, Ethernet (2 x RJ-45 switch)
• CX50x0-B930 = PROFINET RT, device, Ethernet (2 x RJ-45 switch)
• CX50x0-B951 = Ethernet/IP slave, Ethernet (2 x RJ-45 switch)
• CX50x0-B100 = EtherCAT slave, EtherCAT IN and OUT (2 x RJ 45)
The software
In combination with the TwinCAT automation software, the CX50x0 Industrial PC becomes a powerful IEC
61131-3 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. Even special functions such as flying saw,
electronic gearbox and cam plate can be realised.
The CX50x0 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 CE.NET”. 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.
Visualisation
The Beckhoff OPC server is available for interfacing with SCADA packets, if the two operating system
variants “Windows CE.NET” or “Windows XP Embedded” are used. In other words, the CX50x0 also offers
straightforward visualisation and simultaneous control in real-time on a single system.
