Product Description
The CB3053-0012, manufactured by Beckhoff Automation, is a robust industrial motherboard designed for demanding automation applications. At its core, the board features an Intel Atom Z530 processor, clocked at 1.6 GHz. This processor, engineered explicitly for embedded applications, provides a balance of performance and power efficiency, which is crucial in industrial environments where reliability and low energy consumption are paramount. With its instruction set and pipeline design, the CPU's architecture enables efficient handling of complex control tasks, data processing, and communication, ensuring the smooth operation of automation systems. Complementing the CPU is 2 GB of DDR2 SO-DIMM RAM, providing ample memory for the operating system, applications, and data storage. This type of RAM is known for its low power consumption and compact form factor, which makes it ideal for space-constrained industrial PCs.
The 8 GB Compact Flash (CF) card is the storage medium, offering reliable and robust non-volatile storage for the operating system, application software, and critical data. CF cards are designed to withstand harsh industrial conditions, including temperature fluctuations, vibrations, and shocks, ensuring data integrity and system stability. The board has a 10/100 BASE-T Ethernet connector for network connectivity. This standard Ethernet interface enables seamless integration into industrial networks, facilitating communication with other devices, such as PLCs, sensors, and actuators. Including a Mini PCI expansion slot, designed explicitly for the FC9051-0000 module, further enhances the board's versatility. This slot adds functionalities like fieldbus communication, enabling connection to various industrial devices and protocols. The board also features USB 2.0 ports, providing connectivity for peripherals and facilitating data exchange. The CB3053-0012 includes a DVI-D connector for high-quality video output, enabling connection to various displays.
The board operates on Windows Embedded Standard, a robust and reliable operating system for industrial applications. This OS provides a stable platform for running automation software and ensures real-time performance, which is crucial for precise control and monitoring of industrial processes. TwinCAT PLC software further enhances the board's automation capabilities, providing a robust programming environment for developing and implementing complex control logic. The CB3053-0012 is designed for a 24 V DC power supply, a standard voltage commonly used in industrial control systems, to ensure reliable operation in industrial settings. Integrating a 15-inch ELO Accutouch panel provides a user-friendly interface for operator interaction. This touch panel technology offers accurate and responsive input, enabling intuitive control and monitoring of industrial processes. Wake Industrial stands behind the quality and reliability of the CB3053-0012 by providing a one-year warranty upon purchase.
