Product Description

The CB3050-0002, manufactured by Beckhoff, is a robust industrial PC motherboard designed for automation applications. Its compact 3.5-inch form factor makes it suitable for space-constrained environments, while the Intel Celeron M 1.5 GHz CPU provides ample processing power for typical industrial control tasks. While not the most powerful by today's standards, this processor was a reliable workhorse in its time, offering a good balance of performance and energy efficiency. Including 1 GB DDR RAM further enhances the board's capabilities, enabling efficient multitasking and data handling crucial for real-time operations in industrial settings. This motherboard has various interfaces to ensure seamless integration with other industrial devices. Two LAN Ethernet ports facilitate communication with different machines, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems, enabling networked control and data exchange.

The four USB ports allow for connecting peripherals such as human-machine interfaces (HMIs), programming devices, and data storage, expanding the system's functionality. Additionally, the DVI-I port supports connection to a monitor for visual display of information, which is essential for monitoring and controlling industrial processes. Internal storage is provided by a 40 GB 2.5-inch hard disk drive, offering sufficient space for operating system files, application software, and data logging. Including a CompactFlash slot with a 4 GB card adds further flexibility for data storage and system backup. This was a common feature in industrial PCs of that era, providing a robust and reliable storage medium for critical data.

The CB3050-0002 operates on a 24V DC power supply, a standard voltage in industrial environments, making it compatible with existing power infrastructure. This voltage level is safer than higher AC voltages in residential settings. The "P223" designation likely refers to a specific power supply unit model from Beckhoff, designed to provide stable and reliable power to the motherboard and its connected components. Finally, Wake Industrial stands behind this product with a one-year warranty upon purchase, providing buyers with peace of mind and assurance of its quality and reliability.
