CX8095 - Introduction

The CX8095 is a controller with Ethernet/IP slave interface. The Ethernet/IP interface is designed as a 2-port switch for realization of daisy-chain cabling. Alternatively K-bus or E-bus terminals can be series-connected; the CX8050 automatically detects which system is connected during the start-up phase. The control system is programmed with TwinCAT via the fieldbus interface or the additional Ethernet interface.

In the basic version the CX8095 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.

The CX8095 can be parameterized with the help of TwinCAT2. The CX8095 is appended in the System Manager either manually or using the online scan.
