Product overview
The CX9020 Embedded PC is a full-fledged PC with the following basic configuration:
- two MicroSD card slots,
- two switched Ethernet interfaces,
- four USB 2.0 interfaces,
- and a DVI-D interface
The operating system is Microsoft Windows Embedded Compact 7.
The Embedded PC features internal persistent data memory in the form of 128 kB NOVRAM. In the event of a power failure, important data are stored in the NOVRAM and are available again after a restart.
The CX9020 Embedded PC can be ordered ex factory with a 1-second UPS (CX9020-U900). The 1-second UPS enables up to 1 MB of persistent data to be saved to the MicroSD card in the event of a loss of power.
The basic CPU module can be ordered ex factory with an optional interface. The optional interface cannot be retrofitted.

Power supply terminal
The power supply terminal for the Embedded PC is located on the right-hand side. Bus Terminals (K-bus) or EtherCAT Terminals (E-bus) can be attached on the right-hand side of the power supply terminal. The power supply terminal automatically recognizes the respective bus system (K-bus or E-bus).
Software
In combination with the TwinCAT automation software the CX9020 Embedded PC becomes a powerful IEC 61131-3 PLC. All IEC 61131-3 languages can be used.
Functions for Motion Control are also available, such as simple point-to-point movements.
In addition to real-time execution of control tasks, the TwinCAT real-time kernel ensures that enough time remains for the user interface (HMI), to communicate with the real-time components via software interfaces such as ADS or OPC.
