CX8010 - Introduction

The CX8010 is a control system with EtherCAT slave interface. Alternatively K-bus or E-bus terminals can be series-connected; the CX8010 automatically detects which type of terminal is connected during the start-up phase. The controller is programmed with TwinCAT via the additional Ethernet interface.

In the basic version the CX80xx contains a 512 MB MicroSD card. The basic equipment includes two Ethernet interfaces as well as a K-bus or E-bus interface.

The smallest task time to be used is 1 ms (a task time of 1 to 50 ms is recommended for the I/O data, further tasks can also be set slower).
When using shorter cycle times, the total system load is to be observed. If too short a cycle time is selected, the Web visualization and remote desktop may operate very slowly or cause timeouts.
The user is responsible for projecting and configuring his system such that it is not overloaded.
