The three diagnostic LEDs show the status of the input voltage, the output voltage, and the state of

charge and indicate possible error states.

A special feature of the Beckhoff CU81xx devices is OCT (One Cable Technology) as communication

technology between UPS and Industrial PC. This means that the two connecting lines (+24 V, 0 V)

between the Industrial PC and the UPS are used not only to

supply the Industrial PC, but also for bidirectional, modulated data transmission. If both sides are OCT-capable, no further

connection, e.g., via USB, is required. This simplifies cabling and also allows longer connection distances compared to USB.

All UPS devices of the CU81xx series have permanent wiring via two 9-pin plugs, so that the wiring does

not have to be disconnected during service.

Note: Please refer to the product documentation for the retention times that can be achieved with the

UPS and important information on installation and safe operation of the devices.

CU8110-0060 is a capacitive, uninterruptible power supply (UPS) providing up to 0.3 Wh with a maximum

output power of 55 W.

If the external 24 V DC input voltage is lost, the UPS takes over the supply of the devices connected to it

thanks to its regulated and buffered 24 V DC output voltage.

The CU81xx UPS series is suitable for all Beckhoff components, particularly Industrial PCs, Embedded PCs,

Panels, and Panel PCs.

The main features of this UPS are:

• maintenance-free thanks to capacitive energy storage devices based on double-layer film capacitors

(EDLCs)

• UPS can be mounted on a DIN rail or at the rear panel of the control cabinet

• connection option for a main device (e.g. Industrial PC) and a secondary device (e.g. Control Panel)

• short-circuit protected outputs

• automatic switch-off based on time or residual energy control to protect the energy module

• automatic restart when power is restored (autonomous start)

• protocol-based communication with Industrial PC, optionally via OCT (One Cable Technology) or USB

• digital signals for communication with non-protocol-capable end devices

• parameterization and diagnostics via Beckhoff UPS configuration software on various operating systems

• TwinCAT PLC function blocks for querying the UPS operation

Modules of the type CX2550 (e.g., hard disks/SSD modules) and a power supply unit of the type CX2100-xxxx can be connected on

the right. The power supply unit supplies power to the entire system of CPU module and all plugged optional components. All

Beckhoff EL and KL terminals can be connected directly to the power supply unit. A compact unit comprising controller and I/O

level is thus created on the DIN rail.

The extended operating temperature range from -25°C to +60°C enables the CX2043 to be used under climatically challenging

conditions.

PLC, Motion Control, interpolation, and visualization

As an Industrial PC on the DIN rail, the CX20x3 has the functionality of large Industrial PCs in interaction with TwinCAT. Multi-core CPUs in conjunction with TwinCAT 3 enable PLC projects to be distributed to several cores, resulting in significant performance gains. Likewise, all TwinCAT Motion Control functions can be used to the full: In theory, up to 256 axes can be controlled and more complex multi-axis functions such as electronic gearing, cam plate, and flying saw are possible in addition to simple point-to-point movements. Due to the powerful CPUs, the CX20x3 can also execute interpolating 3D path movements and complex axis kinematics.

With the CX20x3 series, particular importance was also attached to the continuation of support for (32-bit) TwinCAT 2; however, an upgrade to the more modern (64-bit) TwinCAT 3 is possible at any time with this device series.

With both TwinCAT 2 and TwinCAT 3. the management in the TwinCAT real-time core ensures that sufficient time remains for the user interface (HMI) in addition to the control tasks executed in real-time. The high performance of the graphics kernel integrated in the CPU enables demanding visualizations with advanced user interfaces to be realized.

The CX20x3 series is also available as an Embedded PC without operating system and without TwinCAT.

The extended operating temperature range from -25 to +60°C enables use under climatically challenging conditions.
