Product Description

The CX2040-0121 embedded PC offers powerful quad-core processing capabilities for industrial automation and control applications. At its core is an Intel Core i7 2715QE processor optimized for multitasking with four processing threads running up to 2.1GHz each. Combining this with 4GB of non-expandable DDR3 RAM allows seamless handling of complex concurrent tasks.

Weighing approximately 1.23 kilograms, the CX2040-0121 maintains a compact chassis for tight installation spaces. Front-mounted status LEDs provide quick diagnostics without needing additional monitoring devices. Dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, four high-speed USB ports, and a DVI-I video interface facilitate seamless integration into distributed control systems. Where continuous heavy loads demand intensive ventilation, an integrated cooling fan keeps internal temperatures optimized. Ball bearing motors and integrated speed monitoring ensure longevity in harsh conditions. The fan's automated thermal management eliminates unnecessary noise and power usage during lighter duties.

Robust design features like an IP20-rated durable casing withstand wide industrial settings from manufacturing floors to harsh ports and wastewater facilities. Protection against electromagnetic interference meets IEC 61000-6-2 and 61000-6-4 standards. Its 24VDC power supply accepts typical automation voltages with ample voltage tolerances. Equipped to run Windows Embedded Standard 7 at startup, the CX2040-0121 also supports TwinCAT 2 PLC runtime software for programming automation logic on the powerful x86 platform. This provides extensive compatibility with HMI, SCADA, MES, and IoT systems. Despite powerful processing, energy use remains modest at a maximum 32W consumption. With quad-core processing, versatile connectivity, and rugged construction, the CX2040-0121 serves as a future-proofed yet cost-effective control solution suitable for highly demanding industrial automation applications now and for years to come.
