The CX8091, part of the CX8000 line, is an embedded PC that represents a universal small controller for a wide range of applications through OPC UA protocol, a 400 MHz ARM9 CPU, and a wide range of connectable K-bus or E-bus I/O terminals. It is fully interoperable with power measuring terminals to serve as a compact data collector that supplies all information via OPC UA, enabling comprehensive energy management.

 

The PC is a flexible and compact controller with a switched Ethernet port and supports OPC UA, the established protocol for vertical integration within modern plant environments. Bus Terminals (K-bus) and EtherCAT terminals (E-bus), as modular I/O systems, can be connected directly to and automatically identified by the Embedded PC. In this way, a multitude of signals can be acquired locally. For example, via the numerous I/O terminals for energy data acquisition and many other types of measurement.

 

Electrical variables can be determined in a particularly convenient and system-integrated manner via the KL/EL3403 power measuring terminals; while more in-depth analysis functions are offered by the EL3413 and EL3433 power measuring terminals as well as the EL3773 mains monitoring terminal. In addition, compressed air supplies can be directly monitored, for example, to detect energy-wasting leaks using the KM37xx differential pressure measuring terminal and the machine-mountable EP3744 differential pressure measurement box with IP67 protection.
