2 Product Overview
2.1 Appropriate Use
The CX1000 device series is a modular control system that can be mounted on top hat rails. Its components
are plugged together and installed in the control cabinet or junction box, depending on the required function.
Note:
The device configuration CX1000 is not recommended for new projects.
As new standard configuration the type CX1010 is available.
2.2 System Overview
The System
The CX1000 system covers the whole range of Beckhoff control technology both in terms of price and
performance: The new product range is designed for tasks requiring the characteristics and computing
capacity of Industrial PCs, but whose budget does not stretch to full-blown Industrial PCs.
The system only uses those components that are actually required. For example, a CX1000 can be operated
in „headless“mode, i.e. without display or keyboard; in this case, the associated interface is not required.
Whilst the resulting control system has no visualisation, it does have communications capability via the built-
in Ethernet and RS 232 interfaces.
If local visualisation is required, this can be implemented via a DVI (digital video interface), to which all
Beckhoff Control Panels and all commercially available monitors with DVI-input can be connected. The touch
screen signal is read via one of the two available USB interfaces.
The components
The modules of the CX1000 series system are connected with each other via the standardised PC104 bus
(16 bit). The individual system components are modules that can be arranged in series. The basic unit
consists of a CPU module(CX1000-0000) and a power supply module(CX1100-000x). Further system
interfaces for serial communication(2x RS 232, and RS422, RS485) as well as audio signals are available
separately.
CPU base module
CPU base module [}10]
The CPU module is available in several variants. These relate to:

Product Overview
CX1000 9Version: 1.1
– Internal memory configuration: there are two options – either 16 MB Flash/32 MB RAM or 64 MB Flash /
128 MB RAM. The latter is required if the system is to be equipped with Windows XP Embedded.
– System interface configuration: as an option, a DVI and two USB Interfaces can be added to the
combination of Ethernet and RS 232 that is always present.
– Operating system: There is a choice between Microsoft Windows CE.NET and Microsoft Windows XP
Embedded.
– Pre-installed TwinCAT software: CX1000 can be preinstalled without a TwinCAT system, with TwinCAT CE
PLC or with TwinCAT CE NC PTP, or with the associated full version of the individual TwinCAT levels for
PLC and Motion Control.
System interfaces
System interfaces [}17]
Further system interfaces for serial communication(2x RS 232, and RS422, RS485) as well as audio signals
are available separately.
Fieldbus interfaces
The range of optional modules for theCX1000 is complemented by fieldbus connectionsfor Profibus,
CANopen, DeviceNet,SERCOS interface and Lightbus, both asmaster and slave versions.
The following fieldbus interfaces are available:
Beckhoff Lightbus (master and slave), Profibus DP (master and slave), CANopen (master and slave),
DeviceNet (master and slave) und SERCOS Interface (only master).
The use of fieldbus master modules in a CX1000 system enables the utilisation of all Beckhoff fieldbus
components (e. g. Bus Coupler, Bus Terminal Controller, drive technology) as distributed control
components for the assembly of complex systems
The use of fieldbus slave modules enables the utilisation of a CX1000 system as subordinate distributed
control for the configuration of complex or modular systems.
The Software
In combination with the TwinCAT automation software, the CX1000 Industrial PC becomes a powerful IEC
61131-3 PLC with up to four user tasks. Additionally, MotionControl tasks can also be executed. Depending
on the required cycle time, several servo axes can be controlled. Even special functions such as flying saw,
electronic gearbox and cam plate can be realised.
Remote programming via Ethernet
This option is used if the basic unit is equipped with Windows CE.NET. In this case, the system is
programmed via a laptop or a desktop PC, which is connected to the CX1000 via Ethernet (network or
crossover cable). The programs are developed on the laptop with a standard TwinCAT software licence and
then loaded into the target device.
Visualisation
The Beckhoff OPC server is available for interfacing with SCADA software on both operating system variants
Windows CE.NET or Windows XP Embedded. In other words, the CX1000 also offers unproblematic
visualisation and simultaneous control in realtime on a single system. Beckhoff control devices

PC 104 Bus
The PC 104 bus [}15] is a standardised bus with 104 ISA signals for compact embedded systems.
2.3.4 Compact Flash slot
A Compact Flash slot is provided at the front of the basic CPU module. This enables an additional Compact
Flash memory medium (format I or II) to be operated. The change is only allowed while the system is
powered down - otherwise the system could crash. The card can be removed for maintenance or to extend
the system storage capacity. The Compact Flash cards (CF cards) are available as accessories with different
storage capacities.
Activating the eject mechanism below the slot with a screwdriver causes the card to be ejected by approx. 4
mm (FIGURE 1), so that it can be pulled out (FIGURE 2). If the card is pushed in (FIGURE 3), the eject
mechanism will re-engage. The card is positioned correctly, if it is located approx. 1 mm lower than the front
of the housing.
