C6920-1052-0040 BECKHOFF Processor module

Product  Description：

Beckhoff Processor Modules, primarily represented by the Embedded PC series such as the CX line, combine the compact dimensions of a modular PLC with the high computational power of an Industrial PC. These modules serve as the central control unit within a TwinCAT-driven automation environment. By leveraging standard Intel or ARM processors, they execute complex PLC programs, multi-axis motion control, visualization, and high-level IT tasks simultaneously on a single hardware platform.

Product Parameters

The technical composition of a Beckhoff Processor Module reflects its PC-based control architecture and high-performance capabilities:

• Processor Architecture: Features scalable processing power from low-power 32-bit ARM Cortex processors to high-performance multi-core Intel Core i7 or Xeon CPUs.

• Operating System Support: Utilizes optimized embedded operating systems, typically Windows 10 IoT Enterprise, Windows Embedded Compact, or TwinCAT/BSD.

• System Memory: Equipped with high-speed DDR3 or DDR4 RAM, ranging from 512 megabytes for compact models up to 16 gigabytes or more for high-end controllers.

• Flash Storage: Uses robust, solid-state media such as MicroSD cards, CFast cards, or internal SSDs to store the operating system, TwinCAT runtime, and user data.

• Internal I/O Interface: Features a direct electronic connection to either the high-speed EtherCAT terminal system (E-bus) or the standard bus terminal system (K-bus).

• Integrated Interfaces: Standard configurations include dual independent Gigabit Ethernet ports, USB ports for peripheral connection, and DVI or DisplayPort options for direct HMI connection.

Product Advantages

Beckhoff Processor Modules offer significant competitive benefits by merging traditional automation with modern IT standards:

• True PC-Based Control: By running on standard x86 or ARM architectures, these modules can execute real-time machine control while simultaneously running third-party software, databases, or vision applications.

• Microsecond-Level Determinism: When combined with EtherCAT and TwinCAT software, the processor module achieves extremely short cycle times, often under 100 microseconds, with minimal jitter.

• Software-Defined Functionality: Hardware is decoupled from the application logic; the same processor module can function as a standard PLC, a CNC controller, a robotics hub, or an IoT gateway simply by changing the TwinCAT software licenses.

• Space-Saving Modular Form Factor: Eliminates the need for a separate control cabinet PC and PLC rack by integrating the processor, power supply, and I/O interface into a single DIN rail mountable housing.

• Fanless and Maintenance-Free Operation: Many models utilize advanced low-power processors and optimized thermal design, enabling fanless operation up to 60 degrees Celsius and reducing mechanical failure points.

Product Applications

These processor modules are widely deployed in modern, high-speed, and data-intensive automation scenarios:

• Smart Manufacturing and Industry 4.0: Acting as an edge computing device that controls the machine while collecting, filtering, and transmitting production metrics directly to cloud platforms via MQTT or OPC UA.

• High-Speed Packaging and Assembly: Coordinating multi-axis servo systems, electronic camming, and flying shears in high-throughput wrapping and bottling lines.

• Semiconductor and Electronics Production: Driving precision pick-and-place robots and wafer handling equipment requiring sub-micron positioning accuracy.

• Wind Energy and Renewables: Managing the complex pitch control, grid synchronization, and continuous data logging required for commercial wind turbines.

• Advanced Building Automation: Controlling centralized HVAC, lighting, and energy management systems across massive commercial facilities using protocols like BACnet or Modbus.

Important Precautions

To maintain data integrity and ensure long-term stability of the processor module, users must follow these guidelines:

• Proper Shutdown Procedures: Because these modules run embedded operating systems, sudden power cuts can theoretically lead to file system corruption. It is highly recommended to use a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) or configure the TwinCAT 1-second UPS feature to safely save persistent data before power-down.

• Storage Media Quality: Only use industrial-grade flash memory cards approved by Beckhoff. Consumer-grade cards do not possess the necessary write endurance or thermal tolerance, which can cause premature storage failure and system crashes.

• Thermal and Clearance Management: Install the module vertically on the DIN rail as specified in the manual. Maintain the required minimum clearance distances above and below the module to allow for natural air convection, preventing thermal throttling or overheating.

• Grounding and Shielding: Ensure the DIN rail is properly bonded to the central functional earth of the control cabinet. Use shielded cables for all Ethernet and fieldbus connections to protect the high-speed internal bus from electromagnetic interference.

• Cyber Security Protection: Since these modules are fully capable PCs connected to standard Ethernet networks, they must be protected against malware and unauthorized access. Implement strict network segmentation, disable unused ports, and change default operating system passwords immediately upon installation.
