Product overview
The CX9240 Embedded PC is a compact, DIN rail-mountable Ethernet controller with a 1.2 GHz Arm® Cortex® A53 CPU with four cores and 2 GB LPDDR4 RAM. The CX9240 Embedded PC is a full-fledged PC with the following basic configuration:
- a microSD card slot,
- two independent 1 Gbit Ethernet interfaces,
- four USB 3.0 interfaces,
- and a DisplayPort interface
The embedded PC features an internal 1-second UPS as persistent data memory. The 1-second UPS enables up to 1 MB of persistent data to be saved to the microSD card in the event of a power failure. Beckhoff RT Linux® can be used as the operating system.
Optional interface
The embedded PC can be ordered ex factory with an optional interface. The optional interface cannot be retrofitted.

Power supply terminal
On the right-hand side of the embedded PC is the power supply terminal with an integrated, electrically isolated 24 V DC power supply that supplies the embedded PC with power. 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
The TwinCAT automation software transforms a CX9240 system into a powerful PLC and Motion Control system that can be operated with or without visualization. The device can optionally be ordered with a fieldbus or serial interface.
