Product Description

Description

The BECKHOFF CX2072-N031-0002 is an Embedded PC basic CPU module designed for industrial control applications. As part of the modular CX Embedded PC series, this CPU module serves as the central controller, executing PLC, Motion Control, and visualization tasks in demanding industrial environments.

This specific unit features an integrated N031 interface option, adding dedicated serial connectivity directly to the CPU module. The RS485 interface is physically implemented as a 9-pin D-sub socket. It is factory-configured for drop point operation without echo, with the internal termination turned off, allowing easy integration into existing serial communication networks without additional hardware modules.

Features

  • Serves as the central basic CPU module for modular control systems.
  • Integrated N031 interface option providing serial RS485 communication.
  • Physical connection via a standard 9-pin D-sub socket.
  • Pre-configured as a drop point, without echo, with termination off.
  • Designed for modular expansion with standard CX-series system and I/O modules.

Applications

  • Centralized control tasks in factory automation and machine building.
  • Serial communication with legacy field devices, barcode readers, or motor drives over RS485.
  • Distributed control architectures requiring a local basic CPU module with serial capability.
