The CX7000 embedded PC incorporates TwinCAT 3 software into a compact, DIN rail-mounted controller. It is equipped with an ARM Cortex-M7 processor (32 bit, 400 MHz) and built-in configurable I/O. The PC’s design—49 x 100 x 72 mm—ensures optimal scalability of PC-based control for small controller applications that typically require a minimal footprint. Its multifunctional I/O channels are integrated directly and include eight digital inputs, 24 Vdc, 3 ms filter, type 3 and four digital outputs, 24 Vdc, 0.5 A, one-wire technology. The I/Os can be configured for other operating modes, including fast counting or processing of analog values.
