The Beckhoff CX2900-0032 is a high-performance industrial controller from the CX Embedded PC Systems series by Beckhoff. Designed for demanding automation tasks, this compact, DIN rail mountable unit features a CFast card slot with up to 320 GB in full 3D flash type and an integrated 1-second UPS to safeguard critical data during power interruptions. With its EtherCAT compatibility, the CX2900-0032 excels in real-time control applications, ensuring rapid data transfer and deterministic response times for advanced machine and process automation.
Under the hood, the CX2900-0032 supports multiple operating environments, including Windows 10 IoT Enterprise and TwinCAT/BSD, granting flexibility across software platforms. It operates reliably within a temperature range of -25°C to +60°C and tolerates relative humidity up to 95% (non-condensing). The device draws power from a 24V DC supply with a tolerance range from -15% to +20%. Connectivity is seamless via auto-recognition of E-bus or K-bus I/O systems, while EtherCAT compatibility ensures high-speed fieldbus integration. Diagnostic LEDs provide instant feedback on power, system, and I/O status for streamlined troubleshooting.
Built to withstand harsh industrial environments, the CX2900-0032 meets EN 60068-2 standards for vibration and shock resistance and carries both CE and UL certifications. Its modular design delivers scalable expansion through compatible Beckhoff CX modules, enabling tailored system configurations. The rugged construction and reliable 1-second UPS enhance operational continuity, reducing downtime and maintenance costs. Ideal for factory automation, process control, and other industrial applications, this controller delivers robust performance, ultimate data security, and efficient system integration, backed by a one-year warranty from Wake Industrial.
