The BECKHOFF CX8080 is a compact, DIN-rail-mountable Embedded PC belonging to the CX8000 series. It features an integrated serial interface that supports both RS232 and RS485 communication protocols via a 9-pin D-sub connection. This controller is designed for decentralized automation tasks and can act as a standalone control system or as a protocol gateway in standard industrial networks.
Equipped with an ARM9 32-bit RISC processor running at 400 MHz, the BECKHOFF CX8080 provides a balanced processing platform for PLC tasks. The unit incorporates 64 MB of DDR2 RAM and includes a 512 MB microSD card for system software and user configuration data. Its compact form factor makes it ideal for installation in control cabinets where space is limited.
A key feature of the BECKHOFF CX8080 is its dual I/O bus interface, which automatically detects and supports either EtherCAT Terminals (E-bus) or standard Bus Terminals (K-bus). This auto-recognition capability simplifies commissioning and allows flexible adaptation to various sensor and actuator layouts without manual hardware selection.
