Product Description

Description

The BECKHOFF CX9020-N031 is a compact, DIN-rail-mountable Embedded PC designed for mid-range PLC and Motion Control applications. Powered by an ARM Cortex-A8 processor, this basic CPU module integrates a control unit with direct I/O support and built-in communication interfaces for industrial environments.

The CX9020-N031 variant is factory-configured with a dedicated RS485 system interface. This interface features a 9-pin D-sub socket configured as an end point with active termination and no echo, allowing direct serial communication with external field devices, legacy controllers, or peripheral instrumentation.

With its automatic bus detection capability, the unit directly interfaces with both Beckhoff Bus Terminals (K-bus) and EtherCAT Terminals (E-bus). This dual-bus support enables flexible, scalable control architectures without requiring separate bus coupler modules.

Features

  • ARM Cortex-A8 processor (1 GHz) for stable industrial control execution
  • Factory-integrated RS485 serial interface (9-pin D-sub socket, end point configuration with active termination and no echo)
  • Dual-system I/O bus interface with automatic detection of E-bus (EtherCAT Terminals) and K-bus (Bus Terminals)
  • Built-in dual RJ45 Ethernet interfaces with an internal switch
  • Compact housing design optimized for standard DIN-rail mounting

Applications

  • Decentralized machine control and modular automation systems
  • Serial communication and peripheral device integration via RS485 protocols
  • Building automation, HVAC control, and infrastructure monitoring
  • Compact motion control and localized PLC installations
