CX-Industrial PC with Windows 10 for TwinCat 2
For the discontinued C6140 industrial PC, Beckhoff launched a replacement PC of the CX series with Windows 10 32Bit in spring 2024. The new CX-PC was designed by Beckhoff for the continued support of TwinCat2 projects.
System adaptation touch panel CP-Link to CP-Link4
However, the switch to the CX-PC brings with it a system adjustment. The touch panel with the already outdated CP-Link technology must be replaced by a current touch panel with CP-Link4 technology. This requires the installation of a transmitter box in the control cabinet and the insertion of a new cable to the control panel.
Visualization of security dongle and Citect versions
Older systems still have a safety dongle with a parallel port interface. This interface is to be replaced by a USB dongle. We install the CX-PC with the required Citect version.
