Product Description

The CX1030-0021 from Beckhoff’s Embedded PC CX Series represents a reliable computing unit designed for application in harsh industrial settings. It is a single-core computer with an Intel® Pentium® M processor with a 1.8 GHz clock speed making it suitable for several automation applications.

This model contains a Compact Flash card slot that starts with a 128 MB card and can be enlarged, allowing the user to choose the most appropriate memory size for a given operation. The main memory starts at 256 MB DDR RAM and can be upgraded at the manufacturer's discretion to 1 GB to satisfy the demands of more complicated applications. It includes two RJ45 ports for connectivity at 10/100 Mbit/s and an integrated switch for network connectivity. The cooling system is quite durable with a module and a fan cartridge that has double ball-bearing fans with speed control, and all these are easily replaceable to guarantee reliability and efficiency even in fluctuating temperatures. Power, LAN link/activity, TC status, and flash access LEDs are provided to assist with diagnostic monitoring of the system for ease of maintenance and checks. It also comes with a Compact Flash type I+II slot with an Eject mechanism for more physical storage space. A built-in battery-backup clock is incorporated to preserve time and date information, which is useful in timing-dependent systems.

This unit supports Windows Embedded CE 6 and Windows Embedded Standard 2009 as its operating systems and control software TwinCAT 2 PLC runtime, thus it is suitable for various industrial software platforms. I/O connections are controlled by a power supply module that has an E-bus, K-bus, or K-bus/IP-Link interface for easy connectivity. When fully powered, the CX1030-0021 consumes 32W of power and operates between 0 and 50 degrees Celsius, with storage temperatures ranging from -25 to 85 degrees. Wake Industrial provides this product with a one-year warranty.
