The CX8091 embedded PC is a compact controller with a switched Ethernet port and support of OPC UA. Bus terminals (K-bus) and EtherCAT terminals (E-bus), as modular I/O systems, can be connected directly to, and automatically identified by, the PC. This allows many signals to be acquired locally—for example, via the I/O terminals for energy data acquisition and other types of measurement. Electrical variables can be determined via the company’s KL/EL3403 power measuring terminals, while more in-depth analysis functions are offered by the EL3413 and EL3433 power-measuring terminals, as well as the EL3773 mains-monitoring terminal.
