Control System Beckhoff CX7000 - Usage in advanced Vision Applications

Описание: The CX7000 is the most basic controller series from Beckhoff. In simple terms, it can be described as a PLC that delivers high performance despite its low price, which is around two hundred euros.

The CX7000 was introduced to us at a time when we were working on several projects that involved switching dozens of lights connected to a single computer. Until then, we had relied solely on PCI Express input/output cards for our PC applications. PCI Express input/output cards for our PC applications. However, these cards offer a maximum of 16 outputs, which creates complications for more robust systems.

With the CX7000, we found a solution that opened up new possibilities. All that’s needed to connect it to the PC is a single Ethernet cable, utilizing TwinCAT ADS communication. Input and output cards can be connected to the device, providing us with virtually unlimited inputs and outputs.
