Beckhoff CX8180

The Beckhoff CX8180 is an embedded PC for industrial control, built around an Arm Cortex-A9 processor at 800 MHz with 512 MB DDR3 RAM. It runs Windows Embedded Compact 7 and TwinCAT 3 runtime, provides one RJ45 Ethernet interface and a 9-pin D-sub with RS232 and RS485 serial interfaces, and connects to E-bus or K-bus I/O terminals with automatic recognition. It is programmed with TwinCAT 3 over Ethernet.

Study notes

TwinCAT 3 platform level: Economy (20).
Serial interfaces are not bound to a particular protocol and can be used with TwinCAT 3 functions for different serial communication protocols.
E-bus or K-bus terminals can be attached as required; the CX8180 automatically recognizes the type of I/O system during start-up.
TwinCAT 3 functions and protocols listed include OPC UA, MQTT, Modbus TCP and Modbus RTU; Modbus RTU has no matching protocol id in the provided list.
Flash memory: microSD card slot, 512 MB included, optionally expandable; main memory 512 MB DDR3 RAM is not expandable.
Integrated 1-second UPS with 1 MB on microSD card.
Bus interface: 9-pin D-sub socket, 1 x RS232 and 1 x RS485; transmission rate 300 baud…115 kbaud.
Diagnostics LEDs: 1 x TC status, 1 x WD, 1 x error.
Internal battery-backed clock for time and date; battery is behind the front flap and exchangeable.
Max power consumption: 4 W; 9 W with loading UPS; E-bus/K-bus max 10 W (5 V/max 2 A).
Dimensions (W x H x D): 71 mm x 100 mm x 73 mm.
Product status: regular delivery (not recommended for new projects); recommended alternative: CX8280.
