All the components are supplied in particular hardware and software configurations appropriate for the application. Modifications to hardware or software configurations other than those described in the documentation are not permitted, and nullify the liability of Beckhoff Automation GmbH & Co. KG. Personnel qualification This description is only intended for trained specialists in control, automation and drive engineering who are familiar with the applicable national standards.
When components are being fitted or removed, the supply voltage must be switched off. Software knowledge NOTE System malfunctions Mandatory software knowledge! Every user must be familiar with any of the functions of the software in- stalled on the PC that he can reach. Version: 1.1 CX2500-0030...
The CX2500-0020 audio module has jack plug (5 x 3.5 mm) and cinch plug for digital signals (SPDIF). Up to 7.1 multi-channel audio can be used. Serial interfaces can be added with the modules CX2500-0030 (RS232) and CX2500-0031 (RS422/RS485). The CX2500-0060 module provides two further independent Gbit Ethernet interfaces.
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. NOTE Danger of damage to the device! During transport in cold conditions, or if the device is subjected to extreme temperature differences, con- densation on and inside the device must be avoided.
Then simply position the block on the mounting rail and push it slightly until it engages on the right-hand side. This is indicated by a distinct click. The bars are then engaged again. The engagement of the individual bars is indicated by a distinct click. Version: 1.1 CX2500-0030...

The CX20x0 system must not be operated vertically on the DIN rail. A vertical position would lead to insufficient CPU ventilation, since the ventilation openings are located on the top and bottom of the housing. Installation of the system on its side would also lead to inadequate ventilation. Version: 1.1 CX2500-0030...
If all system interfaces are locked, then the entire assembly can be snapped onto the support rail. Dismounting the lock In order to dismantle the assembly it must first be removed from the support rail. Afterwards the bar clips can be removed with the aid of a screwdriver: CX2500-0030 Version: 1.1...

Mounting and wiring Once the bar clips have been raised they can be pulled out. Subsequently, the system interfaces can be separated again. Version: 1.1 CX2500-0030...
Mounting and wiring CX2500-0030 connections The CX2500-0030 system interface provides two RS232 interfaces. The interfaces are arranged on a 9-pole Sub-D pin contact strip. Up to 4 interfaces can be attached. This means that up to 9 serial interfaces (four CX2500-0030 modules and the optional CX20x0-N030 interface) can be connected to the CX20x0 system.

Once all serial interfaces, apart from COM1, have been removed in the Device Manager, the system can be shut down and de-energized. The hardware configuration can now be changed. Once the configuration has been changed as required, the system can be restarted. The operating system restarts and numbers the interfaces as described above. Version: 1.1 CX2500-0030...
Embedded PC off, since data can be lost from the hard disk by switching off while software is running. Once the software has been stopped, the operating system can be shut down. Only then should the power supply be interrupted. CX2500-0030 Version: 1.1...
Commissioning / Configuration PLC-Interface CX2500-0030 The CX2500-0030 system interface provides two RS232 interfaces. They can be connected to the PLC via the TwinCAT System Manager. In the System Manager you can open the Scan Devices... context menu, which searches for the serial interfaces.
