Product Description

The CX2030-0130-1003 embedded PC from Beckhoff delivers robust high-performance computing for industrial automation. Powered by a dual-core 1.5GHz Intel Core i7 2610UE processor, it offers stable processing even under heavy workloads. This unit initially ships with 2GB of onboard DDR3 RAM that allows expansion up to 4GB. The flexible RAM capacity facilitates a wide range of control applications and real-time data processing needs.

Storage is provided through an accessible front-mounted CFast slot compatible with 20GB or 40GB flash memory cards. Multiple interfaces integrate it into complex systems, including two Gigabit Ethernet ports, four USB ports, and DVI-I video output. Rigorously tested to conform with industrial EMC standards EN 61000-6-2 and EN 61000-6-4, it reliably operates in electromagnetic interference-heavy environments.

Weighing just 1.165 kilograms, Beckhoff designed the compact 144x99x91 millimeter CX2030-0130-1003 for space-constrained control panel mounting. Its lightweight yet robust steel housing withstands vibrations and temperature fluctuations. Passive cooling efficiently removes internal heat loads, while optional active fan cooling boosts thermal dissipation for continuous intense processing loads. Software compatibility includes Microsoft Windows Embedded, allowing familiar programming. Both TwinCAT 2 and 3 ensure smooth integration into Beckhoff's open automation architecture. The unit runs from a 24VDC power source rated for busy industrial voltages. Despite powerful components, energy efficiency keeps its maximum consumption to only 27W. Through thorough testing, Beckhoff validated the CX2030-0130-1003 withstands demanding use. Front-accessible firmware storage enables simple OS and update management. Expandable RAM alongside future-proofed processors empower growth potential as application needs evolve over time.
