Product Description

An industrial automation-ready computer featuring a single-core Intel Atom E3815 CPU with a clock speed of 1.20 GHz is the CX5120-0135 from Beckhoff's CX Embedded PC Series. This framework is perfect for certain arithmetic and control functions in a closed industrial setting.

Along with a 512 MB micro-SD card, the CX5120-0135 also features two different kinds of card readers: one for the CFast card and one for the micro-SD card. The 2 GB DDR3 RAM is not extendable and is adequate for the tasks that an integrated industrial PC can complete. This model has good connectivity features that include two RJ45 ports which have a transfer rate of 10/100/1000 Mbit/s, one DVI I port for display, and four USB 2.0 ports for other devices. There is also a possibility to equip the device with an optional interface slot to meet certain requirements. The cooling system is passively designed which reduces mechanical complexity and frequency of maintenance in the most challenging industrial conditions. The diagnostics features are well developed, featuring power LED, TC status LED, flash access LED, and bus status LED for easy identification and repair. Timekeeping and process logging for process timing are made possible by an internal battery-backed clock that also has a replaceable battery.

The PC module is based on the Windows Embedded Compact 7 operating system and is capable of working with both TwinCAT 2 and TwinCAT 3, giving the customer a choice of platforms for control and automation solutions. This also detects both E-bus and K-bus connections hence making it easy to integrate it with other systems. The power consumption of the CX5120-0135 is relatively low with a power supply voltage of 24V DC and a range of –15% to +20%. The device includes 128 kB of Novram and supports up to 2 A of E-bus/K-bus connections, as well as has a total power consumption of only 10 W, which will be suitable for energy-efficient applications. Wake Industrial offers a one-year guarantee on this device.
