CX8093 from Beckhoff delivers a robust and scalable control solution in the form of a DIN-rail mountable Embedded PC that combines real-time communication and PLC processing. Built with a 400 MHz Arm9™ processor, 64 MB DDR2 RAM, and a 512 MB microSD card for flash memory, the device runs on Windows Embedded CE 6 with TwinCAT 2 PLC software to handle deterministic automation tasks with high efficiency.
Its integrated 1-second UPS ensures data security by storing 1 MB on the microSD card during power loss, while the internal battery-backed real-time clock supports reliable time tracking even during outages. The CX8093 Embedded PC features two switched RJ45 Ethernet ports for networking flexibility and seamless connectivity to EtherCAT I/O systems or other networked devices. The unit also supports automatic E-bus or K-bus detection, simplifying I/O expansion without manual configuration.
Built to operate in harsh industrial environments, the CX8093 functions within a temperature range of 0 to 55°C and meets EN 60068 standards for shock and vibration resistance. It consumes a maximum of 3 W and operates on a stable 24 V DC power input with ±20% tolerance. The IP20 protection rating makes it suitable for control cabinet integration, while certifications including CE, UL, ATEX, IECEx, and cFMus confirm its global readiness and safety compliance. Trusted by automation engineers worldwide, the Beckhoff CX8093 Embedded PC is an ideal choice for cost-effective, real-time, and modular control.
