Product Description:
The CX1001-0120 is an embedded PC module manufactured by Beckhoff within the CX Embedded PC Systems series. Designed to unite PLC control and HMI tasks inside a DIN-rail form factor, the unit serves as the computational core for distributed I/O stations and compact machine controllers. By integrating processing, storage, and field interfaces in one enclosure, it reduces cabinet space and wiring effort in industrial automation cells that require deterministic Windows CE or real-time operation. Its compact layout suits packaging equipment, handling units, and other machines where centralized control hardware must fit into a small panel.
An AMD Geode processor running at 266 MHz executes user programs while using passive cooling, eliminating fans that attract dust. The board carries 64 MB Flash / 128 MB RAM for operating system images and volatile data, and it also provides a CompactFlash Type II slot for removable media backups. Two USB 1.1 ports support service peripherals, while the 9-pin RS232 connector provides legacy serial diagnostics. VGA output is available for local panels, and the control software level can be selected to match the application because no TwinCAT runtime is pre-installed. The absence of moving cooling parts and the CF-based mass storage helps keep the module suitable for dusty or vibration-prone plants.
For networked operation, the module presents a RJ45 Ethernet interface and draws power through the system bus, which simplifies backplane wiring. Visual output can also be routed over a DVI-I port, which maintains signal integrity for cabinet-mounted monitors with short cable runs. Time-stamping of process data is supported by a battery-backed real-time clock, so time data can be retained when main power is removed. The internal 16-bit ISA PC104 system bus links optional I/O or fieldbus slices without external cabling, keeping expansion close to the controller core and reducing separate interconnects inside the cabinet.
