Product Description
The Beckhoff CX1001-0112 is a good PC that a user can install in an industrial setting. It is a small unit that has high performance thanks to the dual core Intel Atom E3827 CPU clocked at 1.75GHz and 4 GB of DDR3L Random Access Memory. As such, it is capable of efficiently handling control tasks as well as automation systems and data processing.
The unit has an interesting form factor as it does not have fans which allows for quiet operations. This also makes it maintenance free, able to survive conditions where traditional cooling systems face challenges, such as environments with high levels of dust or other contaminants. The CX1001-0112 can easily withstand a temperature range of between -25 degrees to 60 degrees Celsius.
In terms of connectivity, it has three LAN Ethernet ports that can be used to establish communication with other networked devices. In addition, the PC contains 32 GB of CFast solid state storage that can significantly improve communication speed. It also comes with 2 spare PCI expansion slots that can be used for inserting additional modules, giving teams the ability to tailor the computer to their specific needs. The computing machine can be connected to the power source with 12 to 24 volts in DC form. Its dimensions allowing it to be easily accommodated in compact spaces are 244 by 144 by 65 mm and its weight is 1.2 kg. Measured by size, weight and range of inputs, along with processing capability, the new industrial standard loosely refers to interfacing platforms. The systems are therefore built with an intent to last in extreme environments.
