Product Description

The high-end Beckhoff CX1030-0110 is an Embedded PC belonging to the CX Series that deals with control and monitoring processes in industries, in particular industrial automation. With regards to performance, it has a single device Intel® Pentium® M processor at 1.8 Ghz which is ideal for computation intensive real time tasks. The system is equipped with 256MB RAM of DDR which is manufacturer upgradeable up to 1GB and it also contains a Compact Flash card slot that has 128MB of memory and can be used with memory cards of larger capacity for more memory.

It is also integrated with 2 RJ45 Ethernet ports, both of which support 10/100 Mbit/s, built-in internal switch. Moreover, the PC uses a fan cartridge cooling system that has speed control as well as two ball bearing temperature-controlled fans for a long-lasting performance. Diagnostics consist of light emitting diodes (LEDs) for power, LAN activity, TwinCAT status and flash activity among other subsystem indicators to enhance system operation, monitoring and troubleshooting.

The CX1030-0110 runs proper Windows Embedded CE 6 or Windows Embedded Standard 2009 and supports TwinCAT 2 PLC runtime environment, NC PTP and NC I runtime. As such, it can be used for many different tasks requiring automation or motion control. The detail in the CX PC is formed through a communication and control of a 16 bit ISA (PC/104) system bus fitted inside. Power is also through the CX1100 power supply. There is also a real time clock powered by an internal battery for normal operation during power down states. When operated under maximum load, the CX1030-0110 has maximum power use of 32 W which translates into a very power efficient device even in a hostile industrial powering environment.
