{"id":"beckhoff-cx8210","model_id":"CX8210","name":"Beckhoff CX8210","summary":"The CX8210 is an embedded PC used as a machine control, with an EtherCAT slave interface so it can operate as a slave device on an EtherCAT network. It runs Beckhoff RT Linux and the TwinCAT 3 runtime (XAR) on an Arm Cortex-A53 dual-core processor at 1.2 GHz with 1 GB of RAM. E-bus or K-bus terminals attach to it for I/O, and the unit recognises the connected I/O system automatically at start-up.","study_notes":["Dual-core processor; 1 GB LPDDR4 RAM, not expandable.","Flash memory is a microSD card slot; the card is not included and must have a minimum capacity of 16 GB.","Integrated 1-second UPS with 1 MB storage on the microSD card.","Interfaces: 1 x RJ45 10/100/1000 Mbit/s, 1 x USB 3.0, 1 x bus interface.","Bus interface: EtherCAT slave IN and OUT via 2 x RJ45, transmission rate 100/1000 Mbit/s.","Diagnostics LEDs: 1 x TC status, 1 x EC Run, 1 x EC Err.","Internal capacitor-buffered real-time clock for time and date with storage capacity > 21 days.","Operating system is Beckhoff RT Linux; control software is TwinCAT 3 runtime (XAR) from TwinCAT 3.1 Build 4026 (XAE); TwinCAT 3 licenses are not included and are ordered via the TwinCAT 3 price list.","I/O connection via E-bus or K-bus with automatic recognition at start-up; current supply for E-bus/K-bus is 2 A.","Power consumption: max 4 W, 7.5 W with UPS loading, max 10 W for E-bus/K-bus (5 V/max 2 A).","Dimensions 71 mm x 100 mm x 73 mm; passive cooling; TwinCAT 3 platform level Economy (20).","Storage temperature -40…+85 °C; relative humidity 95%, no condensation; UPS OCT-capable: no."],"safety_notes":["Protection rating IP20.","Operating temperature range -25…+60 °C.","Storage temperature range -40…+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."],"sources":[{"url":"https://www.beckhoff.com/en-en/products/ipc/embedded-pcs/cx8200-arm-r-cortex-r-a53/cx8210.html","title":"Embedded PC with Arm® Cortex®-A53 and EtherCAT slave","accessed":"2026-10-25"}],"verification":{"status":"source_checked","checked_at":"2026-10-25","values":10,"method":"llm_source_check"},"updated_at":"2026-10-25","type":"hardware","spec":{"category":"embedded_pc","manufacturer":"beckhoff","controllers":[],"weight_kg":0.22,"ethernet_ports":1,"processor":"Arm® Cortex®-A53, 1.2 GHz","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":["ethercat"],"standards":[],"error_codes":[]},"url":"https://machineschema.com/hardware/beckhoff-cx8210","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"}
