Product Description

The Beckhoff CX1100-0003 embedded PC is a lightweight and compact automation solution designed for reliable operation in industrial settings. Weighing in at approximately 350 grams, its diminutive size allows for easy installation into machinery and panel spaces. Yet beneath its small stature lies an array of features ensuring dependable performance even in demanding conditions. At the core is a 24 V DC power supply rated between -15% and +20% input tolerance, affording flexibility regarding power source variations. Further enhancing versatility, integrated spring-loaded connections provide secure and consistent electrical contacts during regular machine vibrations. Diagnostics monitoring is also conveniently handled through a trio of LED indicators communicating power, I/O run, and I/O error states.

Information display is via a compact yet clear FSTN screen presenting two lines of finely-rendered 16-character text. Its illuminated design offers crisp readability even in uneven lighting environments. Beyond visual indicators, the CX1100-0003 supports IP-link and K-bus interfaces through dedicated adapter terminals. This maximizes connectivity options whether logging sensor readings or integrating motion commands. Robustness is a hallmark as the device meets vibration and shock resistance standards like IEC 60068-2-6. Its IP20 rating shields against solid ingress yet remains reasonably priced. Adding to durability are programs and memory safeguarded by battery-backed storage, like the 8kB NOVRAM and 4kB I/O DP-RAM modules. Together these attributes counteract demanding production line forces that can degrade less hardy devices.

Environmental tolerance is likewise wide as the CX1100-0003 operates normally from 0 to 55°C and survives storage from -25 to 85°C. Such thermally resilient design prevents premature failure due to temperature swings seen in less temperature-controlled industrial sites. EMC-compliant construction also fends off electromagnetic interference per IEC 61000 specifications. Light, rugged and packed with connectivity, a CX1100-0003 embedded PC can ably power small automation tasks for years in diverse industrial settings. Its combination of comprehensive features, flexibility and hardy construction make for a reliable single-box industrial computing solution.
