Product Description

The Beckhoff Embedded PC CX Series, model CX2030-0185, is equipped with an Intel Core i7 2610UE processor that operates at 1.5 GHz with two cores.

This model features a huge quantity of flash memory; it comes with either 20 GB or 40 GB of storage on a CFast card, and it may be expanded further depending on the operating system used; it can be expanded further if necessary. The standard configuration includes 2GB of DDR3 RAM, which may be upgraded to 4GB for more powerful software applications. The communication interface has two RJ45 connectors for 10/100/1000 Mbit/s Ethernet, one DVI-I VGA connector for video output, and four USB 2.0 ports. There is also the opportunity to add another interface based on individual user requirements. Ventilation is passive, although the device can be configured for active forced cooling right from the manufacturer if needed. The diagnostic functions are also improved through the illumination of LED lights that show power on, TC status, flash access, and bus status. It also has an internal battery-backed clock for time and date which is also user-replaceable. It has several operating systems such as TwinCAT/BSD, TwinCAT 3 runtime (XAR), Windows Embedded Compact 7, Windows Embedded Standard 7 P, and Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2016 LTSB.

The choices for controlling the software include the TwinCAT 2 runtime and the TwinCAT 3 runtime (XAR). Input/Output connections are configured through a power supply module that accepts EBUS or KBUS, with the capability to autodetect. This unit is powered from the 24 V DC source with the range of the voltage deviation of -15/+20%. Still, the device consumes not more than 27W of power and has a quite reasonable weight of 1165 grams for such a powerful device. Wake Industrial provides this product with a one-year warranty.
