CX8030, CX8031 - Introduction
In the basic version the CX80xx contains a 512 MB MicroSD card. A fieldbus interface, an Ethernet interface
and a K-bus or E-bus interface are included as standard.
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 CX8030 is a controller with an Ethernet connection, via which it is programmed and/or configured, and a
PROFIBUS master interface on an RS485 basis with a D-sub connection. Optionally, the CX8030 can also
be operated as a PROFIBUS slave.
Alternatively K-bus or E-bus terminals can be series-connected; the CX8030 automatically detects which
type of terminal is connected during the start-up phase. The controller is programmed with TwinCAT via the
Ethernet interface.
