The main features of the CX9240 device series include:
• high-performance 1.2 GHz Arm® Cortex®-A53 CPUs with four cores
• 2 GB LPDDR4 RAM
• two independent 1 Gbit Ethernet interfaces
• DisplayPort instead of DVI
• Beckhoff RT Linux®
• built-in capacitive 1-second UPS
• electrically isolated 24 V DC power supply
Further standard features of the CX9240 include four USB 3.0 interfaces, a DisplayPort,
and a multi-option interface that can be flexibly assigned ex factory – for example,
with a serial port or a fieldbus connection.
The boot and storage medium is an interchangeable, industry-standard microSD card,
which can be accessed via a slot on the front of the housing. This is used to store not
only the operating system, but also TwinCAT and user projects. Beckhoff RT Linux® is
used as operating system.
The TwinCAT automation software transforms the CX9240 system into a high-performance
PLC and motion control system that can be operated with or without visualization.
Optionally, the unit can be ordered with a fieldbus or serial interface.
The connection for the Beckhoff I/O systems is directly integrated into the CPU module.
The device offers automatic bus system identification (E-bus or K-bus) and switches to
the corresponding mode. The extended operating temperature range between-25°C and
+60°C allows it to be used even in climatically demanding situations.
