{"id":"beckhoff-cx8190","model_id":"CX8190","name":"Beckhoff CX8190","summary":"The CX8190 is a fanless embedded controller running Windows Embedded Compact 7 with the TwinCAT 3 runtime. It has an Arm Cortex-A9 processor and provides one RJ45 10/100 Mbit/s Ethernet interface plus a bus interface switched to two RJ45 sockets. K-bus or E-bus terminals connect to it and the connected I/O type is recognised automatically at start-up.","study_notes":["Product status: regular delivery, not recommended for new projects; recommended alternative is CX8290.","Control software is TwinCAT 3 runtime (XAR); TwinCAT 3 licenses are ordered via the TwinCAT 3 price list, and TwinCAT is supported only up to build 4024.","TwinCAT 3 platform level: Economy (20).","Main memory is 512 MB DDR3 RAM (not expandable); flash storage is a microSD slot with a 512 MB card included, optionally expandable.","An integrated 1-second UPS (1 MB on microSD card) is provided.","Interfaces: 1 x RJ45 10/100 Mbit/s and 1 x bus interface; the bus interface is 2 x RJ45 switched at 100 Mbit/s, so three RJ45 sockets in total.","Supported protocols include real-time Ethernet, ADS UDP/TCP and EAP (EtherCAT Automation Protocol), plus OPC UA, MQTT, Modbus TCP and Modbus RTU.","I/O connection is E-bus or K-bus with automatic recognition at start-up.","Dimensions (W x H x D) are 71 mm x 100 mm x 73 mm.","Current supply to E-bus/K-bus is 2 A; max power consumption of E-bus/K-bus is 10 W (5 V, max 2 A).","Max power consumption is 4 W, and 9 W when loading the UPS.","Cooling is passive; diagnostics LEDs are 1 x TC status, 1 x WD and 1 x error; an internal battery-backed clock keeps time and date, with the battery exchangeable behind the front flap."],"safety_notes":["Protection rating IP20.","Operating temperature range -25 to +60 °C; storage temperature range -40 to +85 °C.","Relative humidity 95%, no condensation.","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.","Approvals/markings: CE, UL.","Power supply is 24 V DC (-15%/+20%).","Extended support for the installed operating system (Microsoft Windows Embedded Compact 7) has ended, so up-to-date security updates can no longer be provided."],"sources":[{"url":"https://www.beckhoff.com/en-en/products/ipc/embedded-pcs/cx8100-arm-r-cortex-r-a9/cx8190.html","title":"Embedded PC with Arm® Cortex®-A9 and 2-port Ethernet switch","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":2,"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-cx8190","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"}
