Study notes

  • 12-core Intel Xeon D-1567 CPU; TwinCAT 3 can distribute automation tasks across the CPU cores.
  • Main memory is 8 GB DDR4 RAM; ex-factory options CX2900-0205, -0206 and -0207 expand it to 16, 32 or 64 GB.
  • Boots from a CFast card; the CFast slot is provided but no card is included.
  • Internal 128 kB NOVRAM acts as persistent data memory when no UPS is used.
  • Up to two mass storage modules (CX2550-0010 CFast or CX2550-0020 2½-inch SSD) can be plugged between power supply and CPU, for up to three mass storage devices total.
  • CX2000 series system modules can be connected on the left or right; internally they connect via PCI Express.
  • Supported operating systems include Windows 10 IoT Enterprise, Windows 11 IoT Enterprise 2024 LTSC and TwinCAT/BSD.
  • TwinCAT 3 runtime (XAR) is preinstalled without licenses; licenses must be ordered separately.
  • Minimum CFast capacity: 20 GB for TwinCAT/BSD and Beckhoff RT Linux, 40 GB for Windows 10 IoT Enterprise; Windows 11 IoT Enterprise needs at least 80 GB disk space.
  • Optional interfaces include EtherCAT master/slave, PROFINET RT controller/device, PROFIBUS master/slave, CANopen master/slave, RS232/RS485/RS422 and additional Ethernet ports.
  • Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2016 LTSB extended support has ended; security updates are no longer available.
  • Cooling is by an integrated fan with ball bearings and speed monitoring.

Safety

  • Approvals/markings: CE, UL.
