Product Description

One robust embedded personal computer that Beckhoff has developed for use in industrial automation is the CX5010-1100. It is part of the Embedded PC CX5000 Series which uses the one core Intel Atom Z510 processor with a 1.1 GHz clock speed. Although this system module lacks a pre-installed operating system or Beckhoff’s Twin CAT software, it is designed for easy interaction with external control and automation systems. The device, with its robust construction, is a dependable component for prolonged use in industrial and embedded applications.

This industrial PC is equipped with 512 MB of non-expandable RAM which maintains consistent performance for fundamental automation tasks. It also comprises a 128 MB Compact Flash card which is extendable to support more intricate setups. The device provides communication via two RJ45 Ethernet ports (10/100/1000 Mbit/s), four USB 2.0 ports and a DVI-D video interface which ensures versatility for diverse industrial configurations. Furthermore, an extra interface can be included to augment functionality.

This PC module functions without active cooling and uses passive cooling to minimize maintenance needs and extend its longevity. Diagnostic elements including LEDs indications for power, TC status, flash access and bus status, provide real-time information about the unit's condition. The computing device also has a battery backed clock for precise time and date monitoring and guarantees perfect timekeeping. The 24 V DC power supply and K-bus I/O connection with automated identification augment its compatibility with diverse industrial systems. This PC variant offers a power efficient alternative for industrial automation with a maximum power usage of under 12 W.
