Product Description

The CX5120-0161 belongs to the Beckhoff CX Embedded PC family, a series of highly efficient options for industrial control and automation in a compact design. They include the Intel Atom® E3815 processor with a clock speed of 1.20 GHz.

This processor has only one core, however, it produces a reliable performance for applications that are limited to single-threaded operation and are used in embedded systems. This Embedded PC has a variety of options for storage with one CFast and one microSD card slot. It has a built-in 512MB microSD card for people to begin using as soon as they open the box. It has only 2 GB of DDR3 RAM and no expandable option but it has enough RAM for intended operations with Windows Embedded Compact 7 OS. The CX5120-0161 has an extensive array of interfaces: two 10/100/1000 Mbit/s Ethernet RJ45 ports, DVI-I output, four USB 2.0 for peripheral devices, and one configurable interface. This unit is passively cooled to eliminate moving parts minimize maintenance requirements, and operate without noise. The diagnostic capabilities are controlled by light-emitting diodes which show the power status, TC status, flash access, and bus status so that the overall condition of the system can be easily tracked.

It has an internal battery backup with calendar and time functions, and the battery is user-replaceable for added convenience. The control software options are TwinCAT 2 and TwinCAT 3 (XAR) which make it suitable for several control tasks. Boasting a power consumption of just 10W and 128 kB of NOVRAM for storing important data, the CX5120-0161 model is fueled by a 24 V DC power supply. For all industrial applications, an E-bus or K-bus with auto-detection effectively controls the I/O connections. Wake Industrial offers a one-year warranty that proves it is suitable for professional use.
