Product Description:

The CB3052-0005 motherboard is produced by Beckhoff and belongs to the CB Modular Motherboards series. As a modular industrial PC board, it serves as the processing core for embedded controllers, motion systems, and operator panels used in factory automation. Its compact architecture integrates fieldbus, storage, and display interfaces so the board can be mounted directly inside control cabinets without requiring an extra backplane.

With physical dimensions of 102 x 147 mm, the board follows the 3.5-inch SBC footprint and fits DIN-rail carrier plates next to I/O terminals. The logic, Ethernet PHYs, and graphics are managed by an Intel GS45 chipset, and the board operates from a single 5 VDC ±5% supply rail, while an auxiliary 12 V line powers attached fans. Networking is handled by 2 x 10/100/1000Base-T ports, giving the controller two gigabit channels for PLC backbones or real-time protocols. Two SO-DIMM-204 sockets accept up to 8 GB of main memory running at DDR3-1066 speed, which supports multitasking soft PLC, visualization, and database workloads. Expansion devices connect through an mPCI connector and a PCIe fabric that can be arranged as four x1 lanes or one x4 lane, while two SATA channels are available for SSD or HDD storage.

The board is suitable for standard control-cabinet conditions. The assembly withstands a shock load of 150 m/s² for 6 ms and endures vibration from 10 Hz to 500 Hz under a combined 0.075 mm displacement and 10 m/s² acceleration profile. Continuous operation is permitted from 0°C to +60°C, so additional climate control is often unnecessary in typical panels. Eight external USB connectors provide 8 x USB 2.0 channels for service tools, cameras, or wireless adapters, while dual DVI and HDMI outputs supply high-resolution operator interface signals without separate graphics cards.
