Product Description
Specialist in Industrial Automation, the Beckhoff CX1010-0100-0100 which comes from the Series of Embedded PC-CX is a true and small performing Embedded PC. Its embedded Intel® processor runs at a clock speed of 500MHz, making it a powerful tool for controlling such tasks. Because of the aforementioned feature of real-time processing, this processor is single core and mostly used in industrial settings. The module includes 256 MB of DDR RAM that cannot be upgraded as well as compact flash 128 MB which can accept expandable memory that aids in the utilization of data and programs. The RJ45 Ethernet connector used in the device will function on either connected 10/100 Mbit/s transmission media.
Because of the use of entirely passive cooling, there is no noise as there are no active cooling parts present in the system. The diagnostic LEDs also helps in troubleshooting by monitoring Power, LAN speed and activity, flash access, and TwinCAT real time statuses. The CX1010-0100 is easily integrated in existing control structures using a 16 bit ISA bus system (PC/104) and interfacing with power supply modules (E-bus, K-bus or IP-Link) attached I/O modules. The current module also includes an internal RTC which is battery backed, and even if there is a power outage, it would still be able to keep accurate time and date which is important for time stress task.
The IP20 rating does not allow solid objects in the CX1010-0100 ensuring its usage in industrial clean environments. The unit weighs approximately 355 g with the maximum power consumption of 8 W making it a low power consumption and light weight device for the various automation tasks. The CX1010-0100 operates such programs, as Windows Embedded CE 6 or Windows Embedded Standard 2009 supporting TwinCAT 2 PLC runtime or TwinCAT 2 NC PTP runtime; hence it is suitable for a number of industrial applications.
