Product Description

The Beckhoff CX1020-0122-1001 is one of the Embedded PCs from the CX Series, which is supposed to be quite powerful and is aimed at industrial process automation and control. The embedded pc is powered by low voltage Intel® Celeron® M ULV offering 1GHz reliable speed for real time operations. This processor has only 1 core which is very appropriate for continual and stable control operations. This model incorporates 256 MB of DDR RAM, which may be increased in the factory to 1 GB, hence allowing one to use more advanced applications. For storage, the CX1020-0122-1001 has a Compact Flash card slot, 128 MB of flash memory is embedded in the module, and it also embraces expansion due to additional requirements.

It has two RJ45 Ethernet ports providing 10/100 Mbit/s speeds and possesses internal switch for network communication. It allows passive heat means; however extra cooling is offered at factory site for use in harsh conditions. There are 13 diagnostic LEDs in the system as an aid to allow operators to monitor the power, LAN link status and activity, TwinCAT mode and Flash access for the purpose of system diagnosis and fault finding. This smallest embedded PC is based on Windows Embedded CE 6 or Windows Embedded Standard 2009 and supports TwinCAT 2 PLC runtime, NC PTP runtime, and NC I runtime allowing its use for automation and motion control purposes. It interfaces with I/O devices through the 16-bit ISA (PC/104) bus structure interlinks via power supply modules (E-bus, K-bus, or IP-Link).

The CX1020-0122-1001 weighs approximately 550 grams and has a IP20 degree of protection against mechanical particles. This is usable in machine environments but needs to be protected from moisture and dust. The maximum power consumption is 11 W, which shows that the solution is energy efficient.
