BECKHOFF CX9000/CX9010 Hardware Maintenance Guide

For CX9001/CX9010: Go to the CX90xx/CE/directory and download images such as CX90xx_CE600-HPS-v312zip.

4.2 Method 1: Update using interactive tools (applicable to devices with USB or network connections)

Copy the tool Cx9ImageUpdating. exe and image files to the Temp or Public directory of the CX device via USB drive, FTP, or CERHOST tool (these directories are located in RAM and do not consume Flash write life).

Run the tool on CX and enter the complete path of the image file.

Click on 'FLASH IMAGE' to confirm the warning message.

Wait for the progress bar to complete and display that the update is complete, then restart the device.

Key follow-up steps: After restarting, all old configuration files in the/Hard Disk directory need to be deleted, and the new configuration files in the image package need to be copied to/Hard Disk. Finally, restart again.

4.3 Method 2: Update using a mirror server (applicable to situations where the operating system cannot be started)

Prepare the host PC: Extract the image server toolkit and run the batch file (such as CxImgSrv-HMI. bat). The command line window displays' Waiting for download request... '.

Set CX target device:

Hardware method: Power off ->Open the battery compartment ->Turn DIP switch 3 to ON ->Power on again.

Software method: If the OS is still running, run a specific tool software restart to enter BootStrap mode.

Network connection: To ensure that only the target device is updated, it is recommended to use a dedicated network card or a crossover cable to directly connect the PC to CX to avoid interfering with other CX devices in the company network. You can also add the IP address of the PC in the batch file to force CX to request a mirror from that address.

Update execution: After CX is powered on, it will actively request a mirror from the server. Observe the command line output on the PC and confirm that the 'boot. bin' file transfer is successful. The HDD LED on CX will light up, indicating that a new image is being erased and written.

Completion: After the transfer is complete, close the command line window and make sure to turn the CX DIP switch 3 back to OFF, then close the battery compartment cover and restart the system.

Serial interface configuration (for CX90x0-N031 module)

If your system is equipped with CX90x0-N031 (RS422/RS485 interface module), it is crucial to correctly set the DIP switch on the side of the module. These switches are located under the gray cover on the left side of the module.

Common configuration examples:

RS485 has no echo, terminal resistance enabled (endpoint device): switch 1=OFF, 2=ON, 3=ON, 4=OFF, 5=ON, 6=OFF, 7=ON, 8=ON.

RS422 full duplex point-to-point: switch 1=ON, 2=OFF, 3=OFF, 4=ON, 5=OFF, 6=ON, 7=ON, 8=ON.

Note: Modifying these switch settings must be done after the system is powered off. This module cannot be used simultaneously with CX90x0-N030 (RS232 module).
