Intended use

The CX20x2 Embedded PC series is a modular control system, which is intended for installation on a DIN rail. The system is scalable, so that the basic PC modules, power supply units, system modules and extension modules can be assembled and installed in the control cabinet or terminal box as required.

The CX20x2 Embedded PC series is used in conjunction with Bus Terminals for recording digital and analog signals from sensors and transferring them to actuators or higher-level controllers. The CX20x2 Embedded PC series combines the worlds of Industrial PC and hardware PLC and is suitable for control tasks.

The Embedded PC is designed for a working environment that meets the requirements of protection class IP20. This involves finger protection and protection against solid foreign objects up to 12.5 mm, but not protection against water. Operation of the devices in wet and dusty environments is not permitted, unless specified otherwise. The specified limits for electrical and technical data must be adhered to.

Improper use

The Embedded PC is not suitable for operation in the following areas:

• Potentially explosive atmospheres.
• Areas with an aggressive environment, e.g. aggressive gases or chemicals.
• Living areas. If the devices are to be used in living areas, the relevant standards and guidelines for interference emissions must be adhered to, and the devices must be installed in housings or control boxes with suitable shielding.
