2.1Intended use

The CX51x0 device series is a modular control system designed for top­hat rail installation. The system is scalable, so that the required modules can be assembled and installed in the control cabinet or terminal box as required.

Only switch the PC off after closing the software

Before the Embedded PC is switched off, the software currently running on it should be stopped properly in order to avoid data loss on the hard disk. Please read the section on “Switching off [} 76]”.

Switch off all system components and uncouple the Industrial PC from the system if the PC is not used for control purposes, e.g. during a function test. To disconnect first pull the first terminal behind the power supply unit (optional), then pull the connectors of the fieldbus connections.

System components that have been switched off must be secured against being switched on again.

The Embedded PC’s power supply unit must be supplied with 24 VDC.

Damage to the environment or devices

Do not exchange any parts when under power! The exchange of controller parts when live can lead to short­circuits or overvoltages. These can damage the controller itself and con­

Attention nected peripherals (terminals, monitors, input devices, etc.).

When components are being fitted or removed, the supply voltage must be switched off.

Software knowledge

System malfunctions

Mandatory software knowledge! Every user must be familiar with any of the functions of the software installed on the PC that he can reach.

2.2System overview

The system

The CX51x0 series devices are DIN rail­mountable, fanless Embedded PCs with direct connection for Beckhoff Bus Terminals or EtherCAT Terminals. In contrast to the other CX device families, the CX51x0 series has a fixed, non­expandable number of system interfaces. The housing design for this series is optimized for robustness and compactness. No modular expandability for the left­hand side is provided. Although EtherCAT integration offers a wide range of expansion capability. Further master/slave fieldbus connections (PROFIBUS, CANopen, DeviceNet) or communication interfaces (RS232, RS422/RS485) and all other signal types accessible via EtherCAT can be directly connected as EtherCAT Terminals. Two independent Gigabit Ethernet ports and four USB 2.0 interfaces are available. A Beckhoff Control Panel or a standard DVI monitor can be connected to the DVI­I interface. A serial port (RS232/RS422/RS485) or a fieldbus connection with master or slave function can be added as an optional interface as required. An interchangeable CFast card located behind a flap that is accessible from outside is used as boot and storage medium. The built­in capacitive 1­second UPS ensures secure backup of persistent application data on the CFast card. The date and time are buffered via a replaceable battery. The operating system is Microsoft Windows Embedded Standard 7 Professional. The TwinCAT automation software transforms a CX51x0system into powerful PLC and Motion Control system that can be operated with or without visualization.

EtherCAT as a fast I/O system

Like all Embedded PCs from the CX series (except CX100x), the CX51x0 was developed for optimum interaction with EtherCAT. The primary EtherCAT connection is generally established via terminals. This is where E­Bus Terminals are attached. In addition, one of the Ethernet interfaces of the CPU module (X001) is parameterized for EtherCAT operation, and external EtherCAT components can be connected. To achieve line redundancy, both interfaces can be interconnected as a ring.

EtherCAT offers several options for connecting conventional fieldbus systems to the CX51x0. EtherCAT devices in terminal form provide several fieldbus masters and slaves, for example the PROFIBUS master as EtherCAT Terminal EL6731. In practice, this means that the PROFIBUS master can be positioned exactly where it is required within a machine.

PLC, Motion Control, interpolation and visualization

As a DIN rail IPC and in conjunction with the TwinCAT software from Beckhoff, the CX51x0 offers the same functionality as large Industrial PCs. In terms of PLC, up to four virtual IEC 61131 CPUs can be programmed with up to four tasks each, with a minimum cycle time of 50 μs. All IEC 61131­3 languages can be used.

Moreover, all TwinCAT functionalities are available for Motion Control applications:

in theory, up to 256 axes can be controlled and in addition to simple point­to­point movements, more complex multi­axis functions such as “electronic gearbox”, “cam plates” and “flying saw” can be implemented.

CX51x0

Product overview

In addition to real­time execution of control tasks, the TwinCAT real­time kernel ensures that enough time remains for the user interface (HMI), to communicate with the real­time components via software interfaces such as ADS or OPC.

For CX51x0 the familiar basic principle applies: it is a programming tool for all controllers.

The complete programming of PLC, Motion Control and visualization is transferable to all PC controls from Beckhoff, which is reassuring in cases where it becomes apparent during a project that more processing power is required after all. In this case a system with higher performance can be used.

Optional interfaces:

The optional interfaces can be used to connect single­channel fieldbus interfaces. Operation is limited to one interface at a time. If several fieldbus interfaces are required, they can be added as E­bus terminals (EL67xx). The following fieldbus interfaces are available:

•CX51x0­N030 = RS232, D­Sub connector

•CX51x0­N031 = RS422/RS485, D­Sub socket

•CX51x0­M310 = PROFIBUS master, D­Sub socket, 9­pin

•CX51x0­B310 = PROFIBUS slave, D­Sub socket, 9­pin

•CX51x0­M510 = CANopen master, D­Sub connector, 9­pin

•CX51x0­B510 = CANopen slave, D­Sub connector, 9­pin

•CX51x0­M930 = PROFINET RT, controller, Ethernet (2 x RJ­45 switch)

•CX51x0­B930 = PROFINET RT, device, Ethernet (2 x RJ­45 switch)

•CX51x0­B951 = Ethernet/IP slave, Ethernet (2 x RJ­45 switch)

•CX51x0­B100 = EtherCAT slave, EtherCAT IN and OUT (2 x RJ 45)

•CX5130­N020 = second DVI­D interface

•CX5140­N020 = second DVI­D interface

The software

In combination with the TwinCAT automation software, the CX51x0 Embedded PC becomes a powerful IEC 61131­3 PLC with up to four user tasks. Additionally, Motion Control tasks can also be executed. Depending on the required cycle time, several servo axes can be controlled. Even special functions such as “flying saw”, “electronic gearbox” and cam plate can be realized.

The CX51x0 system is programmed in the same way as other bus controllers:

Remote programming via Ethernet

The CPU generally features a PLC runtime. A laptop or a desktop PC connected with the CX via Ethernet (network) is used for programming. The programs are developed on the laptop with a standard TwinCAT software license and then loaded into the target device.

Visualization

The visualization feature integrated in TwinCAT can be used, or one of the other commercially available visualization solutions. The Beckhoff OPC server is available for interfacing with SCADA packages. In other words, the CX51x0 also offers visualization and simultaneous control in real­time on a single system.

2.7Battery compartment

The battery compartment is located under the front cover of the CX51x0. The opening in which the battery bracket is mounted can be seen when the front cover is opened. The battery can be pulled part way out of the opening with the aid of a strap (marked red) until it can be grasped by the fingers and removed from the device.

To insert a new battery push it into the battery compartment. Ensure correct polarity. The battery must be inserted before the strap, to facilitate subsequent removal. Then close the front cover. The battery change is then complete.

The battery is a CR2032 type from Panasonic.

The correct specifications are:

Battery type	Electrical properties (at		Standard		Dimensions
	20 °C)		conditions
	Nominal volt­	Nominal	continuous	Diameter	Height	Weight
	age	capacity	load
CR2032	3.0 V	225 mAh	0.20 mA	20.0 mm	3.20 mm	3.1 g

An incorrectly inserted battery may explode!

Only use the same battery type (CR2032) from Sanyo or Panasonic. It is essential that pos­ itive and negative terminals of the battery are inserted correctly (negative pole on the left)

2.8CFast slot

A CFast slot is located at the front. It enables the storage medium to be replaced. In the basic module this should only be done in switched­off state, otherwise the system may crash. The CFast card can be removed from the module for maintenance. In this way it is also possible to expand the system (only operating system and program memory). CFast cards with different memory sizes are available as accessories.

The following images illustrate the handling of the CFast cards. First, open the front flap. The CFast card slot is then accessible. The eject mechanism is based on the push­push principle: Pressing the CFast card causes it to be lifted out of the housing by approx. 4 mm, so that it can grasped by the fingers and pulled out.

When the card is pushed back the eject mechanism locks again. The card is positioned correctly, if it is located approx. 1 mm lower than the front of the housing.

Once the flap is closed the device is ready for operation again.

Integration into a PLC

TwinCAT offers special function blocks for integrating the S­UPS into a PLC program. These are described below. From TwinCAT 2.11R3 Build 2247 or TwinCAT 3.1 Build 4018 the required library is integrated in the installation. For older versions the library TcSUPS_51x0.lib has to be copied into the TwinCAT library directory.

3.2.1FUNCTION_BLOCK FB_S_UPS_CX51x0

The function block FB_S_UPS_CX51x0 can be used on CX devices with one­second UPS to control the one­second UPS from the PLC. This allows the persistent data to be saved and a quick shutdown to be performed in the event of a power failure. If possible the default values of the INPUTs of the FB_S_UPS_CX51x0 should be retained.

Loss of data

The seconds UPS can be used only for a few seconds in the event of a power failure in or­ der, to save persistent data. The data must be saved in the fast “persistent mode”

Attention “SPDM_2PASS”, even though this can lead to real­time violations. Sufficient router memory must be configured for the storage of the persistent data!

The second UPS does not have sufficient capacity for bridging power failures. Only the CFast card can be used for data storage, in view of the fact that the UPS capacity is inadequate for operating a hard disk.

A QuickShutdown is performed automatically in the eSUPS_WrPersistData_Shutdown mode (standard setting) after the storage of the persistent data.

In eSUPS_WrPersistData_NoShutdown mode only the persistent data are stored. No QuickShutdown is executed.

In the eSUPS_ImmediateShutdown mode a QuickShutdown is executed immediately without saving data.

Seconds UPS

In the eSUPS_CheckPowerStatus mode only a check is performed as to whether a power failure has occurred. If this is the case, the module only switches back to the PowerOK state after the expiry of tRecoverTime (10s).

Independent of the mode and thus independent of the saving or the shutting down of the controller, the UPS switches the main board off after the capacitors have discharged, even if the voltage has returned in the meantime.

Caution when using files:

If other applications or the PLC keep other files open or write to them, this can lead to faulty files if the UPS switches off the controller.

Attention

Note regarding Windows Embedded Standard 7 P:

To protect the Windows Embedded Standard 7 P files, either the EWF (Enhanced Write Fil­ ter) or the FBWF (File­Based Write Filter) must be activated on devices with one­second

Attention UPS.

If the EWF is used, the TwinCAT\Boot folder must be located on an unprotected partition (see in the registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Beckhoff\TwinCAT\System\BootPrjPath).

If the FBWF is used, must the TwinCAT\Boot folder must be excluded from the protection (see Beckhoff FBWF Manager, Exclusion Settings).

iUPSPort : Port number via which the UPS status is read (standard value is 16#4A8).

tTimeout : Timeout for the execution of the QuickShutdown.

eUpsMode : The eUpsMode defines whether persistent data are to be written and whether a QuickShutdown is to be performed.

Standard value is eSUPS_WrPersistData_Shutdown, i.e. with writing of the persistent data and then QuickShutdown. See E_S_UPS_Mode.

ePersistentMode : Mode for the writing of the persistent data. Standard value is SPDM_2PASS.

tRecoverTime : Time after which the UPS reverts to the PowerOK status in the case of UPS modes without shutdown.

The tRecoverTime must be somewhat longer than the maximum holding time of the UPS, since the UPS switches off even when the voltage returns.
