9. The host name is composed by default of "CX" and the last 3 bytes of the MAC address. You can find the
MAC address on the side of the CX80xx. The MAC address is always 6 bytes long and the first three bytes
are the vendor ID, which is always 00 01 05 in the case of Beckhoff devices.
An "X" next to

devices) and either a K-bus interface or an EtherCAT interface, depending now on which terminals you have
connected to the CX. The CCAT interface must be present in the System Manager file and may not be
deleted. If an error message should appear when scanning, check the revision level of your TwinCAT
version and perform an update if necessary.
