Beckhoff CX8190 PLC Embedded Industrial PC Ethernet Controller

Beckhoff CX8190 PLC Embedded Industrial PC Ethernet Controller

CX8190 | Embedded PC with Arm® Cortex®-A9 and 2-port Ethernet switch

The CX8190 is a controller with two Ethernet ports, one of which is switched to two RJ45 sockets.

It supports protocols such as real-time Ethernet, ADS UDP/TCP or EAP (EtherCAT Automation Protocol).

K-bus or E-bus terminals can be attached as required; the CX8190 automatically recognizes the type of I/O system connected during the start-up phase.

The control system is programmed with TwinCAT 3 via the fieldbus interface or the additional Ethernet interface. TwinCAT 3 licenses must be ordered via the TwinCAT 3 price list.

Further TwinCAT 3 functions and protocols are available for the CX8190. for example OPC UA, MQTT, Modbus TCP or Modbus RTU.

All functions and protocols can be found in the TwinCAT product finder if you set the filter under TwinCAT 3 platform level to P20.​
