{"id":"beckhoff-cx8180","model_id":"CX8180","name":"Beckhoff CX8180","summary":"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."],"safety_notes":["Approvals/markings: CE, UL.","Vibration/shock resistance conforms to EN 60068-2-6/EN 60068-2-27; EMC immunity/emission conforms to EN 61000-6-2/EN 61000-6-4.","Relative humidity: 95%, no condensation.","Windows Embedded Compact 7 extended support has ended; up-to-date security updates can no longer be provided; TwinCAT is supported only up to build 4024."],"sources":[{"url":"https://www.beckhoff.com/en-en/products/ipc/embedded-pcs/cx8100-arm-r-cortex-r-a9/cx8180.html","title":"Embedded PC with Arm® Cortex®-A9 and RS232/RS485","accessed":"2026-10-25"}],"verification":{"status":"source_checked","checked_at":"2026-10-25","values":12,"method":"llm_source_check"},"updated_at":"2026-10-25","type":"hardware","spec":{"category":"embedded_pc","manufacturer":"beckhoff","controllers":[],"weight_kg":0.23,"ethernet_ports":1,"processor":"Arm® Cortex®-A9, 800 MHz","supply_voltage":"24 V DC (-15%/+20%)","power_consumption_kw":0.004,"ip_rating":"IP20","operating_temp_min_c":-25,"operating_temp_max_c":60,"joints":[],"protocols":["opc-ua","mqtt","modbus-tcp"],"standards":[],"error_codes":[]},"url":"https://machineschema.com/hardware/beckhoff-cx8180","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"}
