CX │ Modular DIN rail Industrial PC series
PC technology and modular I/O level form a rail unit in the control
cabinet
suitable for medium-performance control tasks
modular control system for optimum adaptation to the respective
control task (“headless mode”, i.e. without display or keyboard)
In combination with the TwinCAT automation software the CX
becomes a powerful IEC 61131-3 PLC that can also handle Motion
Control tasks.

Bus Terminals can be directly connected as I/O level
(cost advantage through elimination of a Bus Coupler).
IP 67 Extension Box modules can be directly connected as I/O level,
e.g. for environments subject to EMC.
Control Panels can be connected as display devices via DVI/USB.

CX1100-09x0 │ UPS module
for uninterruptible power supply
In the event of a failure of the external supply, the module ensures
that the application software can save important data.
During the UPS retention time, the machine or process can be
transferred into a defined state and the operating system can be
shut down.
absolutely maintenance-free and rapid charging
The module can simply be added to a CX system.
The TwinCAT System Manager recognises the UPS module
automatically and the UPS signals are available to the PLC
programmer.
A controlled 24 V DC power supply unit with a minimum output
current of 4 A is required.
