DIN rail mounted controllers with scalable performance.
The CX1000 device series combines the best of both worlds: Industrial PC and hardware PLC. The modular design allows for a flexible combination of interfaces like CANopen NMT master and NMT slave, local and remote I/Os, Ethernet, USB, DVI and VGA, RS-232 and so forth. The TwinCAT automation software turns the CX1000 embedded PC into a powerful PLC with up to four tasks and an NC for several servo axis. Even special functions such as flying saw, electronic gearbox and cam plate can be realised. The CX1000 thus becomes a controller that covers PLC, motion control and visualisation tasks with a single hardware. Under Windows CE.NET, thanks to the real-time capability of the operating system, user tasks written in high level languages can be processed in real-time in parallel with TwinCAT.
The CX1500-M510 CANopen NMT master supports all features of the FC5101 CANopen PCI card. The flexibility of the CANopen implementation allows one to connect and control almost any CANopen NMT slave device: the CX1000 is a versatile and efficient CANopen controller.
For CANopen slave functionality there is the CS1500-B510 interface. It also supports all CANopen communication types. Several CANopen and other fieldbus interfaces can be connected to one CX1000 system.
Local I/O on both devices is provided by the bus terminal series with more that 120 different terminal types.
