4. Please keep the associated paperwork. It contains important information for handling the unit. 5. Check the contents for visible shipping damage. 6. If you notice any shipping damage or inconsistencies between the contents and your order, you should notify Beckhoff Service. Achtung Danger of damage to the unit! During transport in cold conditions, or if the unit is subjected to extreme temperature swings, condensation on and inside the unit must be avoided.
The overall width of the application is made up of the individual modules. With a height of 100 mm, the module dimensions exactly match those of the Beckhoff Bus Terminals. Together with the lowered connector surfaces, this means that it can be used in a standard terminal box with a height of 120 mm.

Assembly and connecting Mechanical assembly of the basic module The installation of the modules takes place in three steps: 1. The sequence of the modules The basic CPU module with system interfaces, which are factory-installed on the left side, is extended with the power supply unit on the right and with the fieldbus connection (master or slave) left side if available.
Page 38
Assembly and connecting Installation position: Warning The maximum ambient temperature for CPU modules mounted on a top-hat rail is 55°C. The orientation in which the device is fitted must be selected in such a way that cooling air can flow vertically through the ventilation holes.
Assembly and connecting Mechanical installation of the UPS Module Note The UPS module for CX9000 is not fully supported by TwinCAT yet. The UPS module should be connected the described way. To get the power fail signal (pin 3 on UPS) must be connected to a digital input terminal.
Page 40
Assembly and connecting 2 Assembly of the CPU basic module with UPS module 2.1 Assembly the the CX9000 system block In order to be able to connect the UPS to the basic CX9000 module, the cover of the basic module has to be removed first.
Page 41
Assembly and connecting Do not force the module or apply excessive pressure! Only apply pressure at insensitive points of the housing (edges). Never apply pressure on the display, the buttons or movable parts of the CX-System. After successful latching on the top-hat rail the straps should be pushed back to their original position. 2.3 Connecting the Embedded PC to the terminal bus By reinstalling the once removed terminal the system is connected to the bus.
Assembly and connecting Start-up procedure Switching the PC on and off Switching on The power supply for the basic CPU module comes from the power supply unit. The basic CPU module starts automatically when the power supply unit is connected to the mains. Switching on for the first time When you switch on the PC for the first time, the pre-installed operating system (optional) will be started.

Alternative the administrator can start a tool on the CX-Systems to set the CX9000 into "Boot-Strap Mode". First the program must be downloaded from the BECKHOFF FTP-Server. If the CX9000 has no USB the tool can be transferred via ftp onto the system. Use CERHOST-Tools to control the CX9000 remote via Ethernet. Activate the FTP server on the CX, if not it is disabled.

Appendix It is a good idea to choose "\Temp" or "\Public" as target directory, though this range is mapped into the RAM regions instead of the hard disc located in flash memory. For operation the system must be rebooted.Just follow the instructions on the screen.
Page 53
Appendix Warning Via CERHOST the program will be started with a double click on the icon. Warning: Do NOT start the program if you have no image-Server ( see below) AND a correct image! The CX9000 is now no longer useable for PLC until an update was made! The reset to operational is done automatically if the the update has taken place.

Appendix 7. Finish Update Update is now complete. Reconnect the CX90x0-System to the network. The CX-System can now be used as before. NOTES on network configuration: • Image server will listen in complete network to be contacted by CX9000 Two solutions to be sure that you just update your CX9000 device..and not others in network ! provide a subnet (like a second network card in host PC) connect host-pc and CX9000 directly without involving company network The image server can be configured to let CX directly request image from specific IP address.
