Product Description

Beckhoff explores PC control technology to manufacture products that facilitate open automation. They make use of the PC control philosophy, bus terminals, TwinCAT automation software, and Lightbus system to provide alternatives to the conventional control technology. The integration of this software and philosophy birthed a high-performance, open automation system. Beckhoff produces a range of products that can be used as a separate component or in conjunction with other parts to provide a seamless control system. These products are also made available in series and CX5120 is one of these high-performing series with a variety of configurations.

The CX5120-0162 is one of the major variants of the CX5120 series. It has TwinCAT 2 NC PTP runtime control software and an optional interface creates a multitude of advanced options or gateway functions. Its I/O level can selectively consist of either an E-bus or K-bus terminal. Its permissible operating and storage temperatures complement its fanless design and a regulated relative humidity. It doesn’t heat to extreme temperatures during use. Similarly, it has moderate power consumption with 11 W being its maximum power consumption during normal usage and 18 W with loading UPS.

It is suitable for its industrial purposes because of its compact design, Intel Atom E3815 Processor, and its integrated 1-second UPS. Likewise, its Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2019 LT SC 32-bit operating system is also an industrially oriented feature. Another classic feature of The CX5120-0162 is the IP 20 protection class that can help you secure the product. The device comes with a main memory of 2 GB DDR3 RAM, but flash memory can be utilized with slots for a MicroSD card and a CFast card (cards not included).
