Product Description
Powered by a single-core 1.4GHz Intel Celeron 827E processor, the CX2020-0100 embedded PC reliably handles demanding industrial control tasks. Featuring 2GB of onboard DDR3 RAM as standard, expandability lets processes scale gracefully over the lifespan. Whether doubling to 4GB or supplementing storage beyond the 20GB to 40GB CFast option, continual optimization remains simple. Routine functions benefit from 128KB of non-volatile memory too. Passive cooling through an aluminum housing measuring 144 by 99 by 91 millimeters maintains operational stability without external assistance or points of failure. Weighing around 1160 grams, the dependable package installs almost anywhere yet consumes a modest 21 watts maximum.
Interface versatility stems from dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, DVI-I video output, plus four USB connections. Fieldbus connectivity occurs through automatic E-bus or K-bus power module recognition. Internal battery-backed circuitry keeps time and date precise despite power interruptions. A choice of compatible operating systems, including Windows Embedded and TwinCAT, lets applications utilize preferred environments. Temperature resilience from 0 to 55 degrees Celsius and IP20 protection suit industrial zone placement. Strict EMC certification further secures functionality near electromagnetic equipment. Small yet durable, the design withstands harsh conditions found on the factory floor. Diagnostic LEDs and programmable I/Os aid troubleshooting and process control, respectively.
Rather than active fans posing failure risks, passive cooling through optimized passive components like copper buses and heatsinks transfers excess thermal energy efficiently and discretely. Minimal moving parts lengthen service intervals and reduce maintenance overhead. Overall design prioritizes long-term round-the-clock productivity over flashy transient performance. Where heavy lifting demands an affordable workhorse, the CX2020-0100 fulfills core duties as a dependable orchestrator. Predictable execution benefits automation vendors and end users alike through total cost of ownership. From discrete manufacturing to oil and gas environments, the versatile single-board computer remains a rugged asset.
