Product Description

The CX2020-0135 embedded PC from Beckhoff's CX series provides a stable computing platform for industrial automation. Powered by a single-core 1.4GHz Intel Celeron 827E processor, it reliably handles the processing demands of automation environments. Initially equipped with 2GB of DDR3 RAM, this PC allows memory capacity to scale up to 4GB based on application needs. Its lightweight compact chassis with dimensions under 12 by 12 centimeters maintains a small footprint for tight installation spaces.

Storage options on the CX2020-0135 include a choice of either 20GB or 40GB of removable flash memory via built-in CFast slots. This permits flexible configuration and upgrades based on operating system requirements. Multiple connectivity options give versatility, with dual Gigabit Ethernet, four USB 2.0 ports, DVI-I video output, and an additional configurable interface. Built-in diagnostic LEDs aid maintenance through quick system checks directly on the unit. Designed with industrial standards in mind, the CX2020-0135 complies with relevant IEC electromagnetic compatibility specifications. Both passive thermal dissipation and an optional active cooling solution keep internal components running reliably even in 24/7 operating conditions. An exchangeable backup battery maintains time and date accuracy during power loss events. Weighing only 1.16 kilograms, it can be easily integrated into machinery and production lines.

Extensive software compatibility on the CX2020-0135 includes Microsoft Windows 10 IoT Enterprise for familiar programming environments. TwinCAT/BSD support provides open-source solutions. Both TwinCAT 2 and 3 runtime options increase control and programming capabilities. This PC operates from a 24VDC power source with stringent voltage tolerances. Its modest maximum power draw of just 21 watts allows space-constrained panel mounting if needed. Beckhoff has subjected the CX2020-0135 to rigorous testing, verifying it meets today’s demanding reliability requirements. Front-accessible CFast slots streamline installation and OS updates over the lifetime of the machine. Combined with expandable RAM and multicore processing power, this PC delivers a future-proofed automation solution.
