Product Short Description
Product Name: Beckhoff CX1500-M310 PROFIBUS Master Fieldbus Connection Module.
Product Introduction: The CX1500-M310 is a PROFIBUS master fieldbus module for the Beckhoff CX10x0 system. It enables distributed collection of process data and signals, even for distant machines or equipment, allowing the CX system to function as an intelligent gateway between different fieldbuses.
Description

- EMC Immunity/Emission: Conforms to EN 61000-6-2/EN 61000-6-4
- Approvals: CE, UL
- Driver Compatibility: Only compatible with TwinCAT 2
Functional Features:
- Enables utilization of all Beckhoff fieldbus components (Bus Couplers, Bus Terminal Controllers, Drive Technology) as distributed control components
- Allows parallel operation of several identical or different master connections (e.g., two PROFIBUS masters, or one PROFIBUS master and one CANopen master)
- Supports mixed operation of master and slave connections
- CX system can function as an intelligent gateway between different fieldbuses
- Strictly deterministic data transmission (unlike Ethernet networking)
- Field-upgradable or exchangeable; connects via PC/104 system bus
- Software integration through TwinCAT System Manager
- Different DP cycle times possible for each slave; error management freely configurable per user
Application Scenarios:
- Distributed process data collection for distant machines
- Complex system assembly using Beckhoff fieldbus components
- Intelligent gateway applications between different fieldbus protocols
- Industrial automation requiring deterministic PROFIBUS communication
Installation & Usage Notes:
- Connects to CX10x0 system via PC/104 system bus
- DIN rail mounting
- Requires TwinCAT 2 for driver support
- Product is currently in “service phase” status from Beckhoff
