Product Advantages

• Robustness: Designed for extreme operating conditions (-30 to +60 °C fanless) due to generous thermal design and special coating processes. This makes it suitable for harsh industrial environments.

• Compact Design: Integrated power supply and communication interfaces allow for the implementation of complex basic systems using only a minimal number of modules.

• Cost-Efficiency: The optimized configuration aims to reduce costs without compromising quality, making it a cost-effective solution for small to medium-sized applications.

• Real-time Performance: Industrial processors and the VxWorks operating system ensure deterministic real-time behavior, crucial for control applications.

• Flexible Communication: Offers various on-board interfaces (Ethernet, CAN, serial, USB) to meet diverse networking and data exchange requirements without needing additional costly modules.

• Data Security: Features 512 kB of non-volatile RAM (nvRAM) to provide maximum data security for over 10 years without requiring battery backup.

• Scalability: Applications can be easily transferred to more powerful CPU models within the MX200 series if higher CPU performance is required in the future, thanks to a standard programming model.

• Versatility: Can function as a PLC, motion controller, or a communication and data center due to the comprehensive Bachmann electronic software.
