Product Description

The part number CX5020-0122/000002543 belongs to the series of Beckhoff’s much-loved Embedded PC CX series designed to provide an excellent solution in industrial applications. The control system has an Intel Atom® Z530 processor with a clock frequency of 1.6 GHz and one core to provide high performance in a compact and energy-efficient format.

This model has a Compact Flash card slot which has an initial of 128MB and is also expandable for further storage for documents depending on the operations to be performed. The built-in main memory is 512MB RAM but can be expanded to 1GB at the factory level, this makes it suitable for some vital tasks. The networking is done through two RJ45 ports with 10/100/1000 Mbit/s, the video output is done through a DVI-D port while the USB 2.0 is used for the connection of peripherals. Another optional interface may also be incorporated into the design to increase the interfaces’ functionality. The system does not use active cooling solutions to control the temperature. Diagnostic functions are well developed, light indicators of power, TC status, flash access, and bus status are available that assist in monitoring system health and distinguishing problems. The device also has an internal battery backed-up clock to maintain the time and date for logging data and timing of processes in industrial applications. The CX5020-0122/000002543 runs on Windows Embedded CE 6 and Windows Embedded Standard 2009 making it a stable platform for operation. The device has TwinCAT 2 and TwinCAT 3 runtime (XAR) for control application hence is ideal for challenging automation tasks.

E-bus or K-bus with auto identification allows for easy and effective control of I/O connections, improving the installation process and interconnected system. This device has a 24 V DC power supply with a tolerance of -15 to + 20%, and the product's maximum power consumption is under 13 W. This embedded PC weighs around 575 grams and is both lightweight and highly efficient, making it appropriate for use in difficult industrial applications. It is available at Wake Industrial with a one-year warranty.
