CX2100 power supply units
The CX2100 power supply units serve the basic CPU module and all additional modules. Bus Terminals (K-
bus) or EtherCAT Terminals (E-bus) can be attached on the right-hand side of the power supply units. The
power supply units are available in four different versions:
• CX2100-0014: E-bus/K-bus power supply unit with automatic switchover and passive ventilation.
• CX2100-0914: E-bus/K-bus power supply unit with automatic switching and integrated charging
electronics for an external battery pack.
• CX2100-0024: E-bus/K-bus power supply unit with automatic switchover and active cooling. The power
supply unit is electrically isolated and UPS-OCT-capable.
All power supply units feature an illuminated anti-glare LC display with two rows of 16 characters each for
displaying status messages. Application-specific texts can be displayed with the aid of user programs.
Software
In combination with the TwinCAT automation software, the CX20x3 Embedded PC becomes a powerful IEC
61131-3 PLC with up to four user tasks. In conjunction with EtherCAT and TwinCAT, it is possible to
implement very fast control processes in the microsecond range (XFC eXtreme Fast Control Technology).
It is also possible to execute Motion Control tasks with potentially up to 256 axes. Depending on the required
sampling time, several servo axes can be controlled. Even special functions such as Flying Saw, Electronic
Gearing and Cam Plate can be realized.
In addition to handling real-time control tasks the TwinCAT real-time kernel leaves enough time for the user
interface (HMI). The high performance of the graphics core integrated in the CPU enables demanding
visualizations with advanced user interfaces to be realized.
