Beckhoff CX8200

The CX8200 is a DIN-rail-mountable embedded PC used as a compact control platform for machine and plant automation. It runs Beckhoff RT Linux with the TwinCAT 3 runtime (XAR) and is programmed over its Ethernet interface. E-bus or K-bus terminals attach directly to the unit for I/O, and the unit detects the connected I/O system automatically at start-up.
