SAVAGE, Minnesota, Dec. 11, 2025 – Beckhoff has introduced two new devices featuring the Arm Cortex-A9 processor (720 MHz) to the CX7000 Embedded PC series. The basic equipment includes a slot for a microSD card, an Ethernet interface, as well as eight integrated multifunctional inputs and four integrated multifunctional outputs.
The CX7291 Embedded PC is compatible with the BACnet/IP protocol, making it ideal for applications in HVAC, lighting controllers and security and fire alarm technology. On the other hand, the CX7293 Embedded PC has a PROFINET RT Device interface. E-bus or K-bus I/O terminals from Beckhoff can be attached to both devices as needed; the embedded PC automatically recognizes which I/O system is connected during the start-up phase. The controller is programmed with TwinCAT 3 via the standard Ethernet interface. The new devices in the CX72xx series offer higher CPU performance compared to the basic CX7000 series and feature a capacitive 1-second UPS.
The CX7000 Embedded PCs series opens up an exceptionally high level of computing power in the small controller category. The extremely compact design–with dimensions of just 71 mm x 100 mm x 73 mm for the new devices–offers optimal scalability of PC-based control for a wide variety of applications in a minimal footprint.
