The CX9020 module offers automatic bus system identification, with the possibility of an independent switch as a corresponding mode. The powerful ARM Cortex™ -A8 CPU is accompanied by microSD cards slots, internal 128kB NOVRAM as non-volatile memory, and RJ45 interfaces that offer a simple solution for creating a line topology without the need of additional Ethernet switches. The CX9020 supports Windows Embedded Compact 7 operating systems and TwinCAT automation software that makes this PLC a powerful control system, capable of being operated with or without any visualization. It is capable of working in extreme temperature ranges between -25 and +60 degrees Celsius, supporting climatically demanding applications.
