Product Description:
The CX1010-0021 is an embedded PC module manufactured by Beckhoff as part of the CX Embedded PC Systems series. Intended to sit on a DIN rail beside I/O terminals, it provides the central processing and PLC runtime needed to execute automation logic, motion coordination, and visualization tasks inside compact machine controllers. Its compact layout makes it suitable for control cabinets where local processing, terminal communication, and operator interface support must be handled in a single rail-mounted unit.
Computing capability is provided by its 500 MHz clock, driven by a fanless AMD Geode LX 800 processor, which supplies the instruction cycles needed for deterministic PLC operation. Program data and variable tables reside in 256 MB DDR RAM, a capacity suited to medium-scale TwinCAT projects without paging. Electrical loading remains low because the unit has a maximum power draw of 8 W, which helps limit heat buildup inside small enclosures. The built-in Windows Embedded Standard 2009 operating system runs familiar Win32 services over the preinstalled TwinCAT 2 PLC runtime, supporting real-time task scheduling and user interface development. Passive aluminum heat sinking replaces moving fans, and a CompactFlash Type II slot allows expanded solid-state storage for recipes, archives, or log files.
The housing measures 58 × 120 × 91 mm, allowing the controller to fit between terminal blocks while still leaving space for wiring and natural airflow. Network connectivity is provided by a single 1 × RJ45 port that supports 10/100 Mbit Ethernet for engineering access or field protocols such as Modbus TCP. An IP20 protection rating helps shield live circuitry from accidental contact once the unit is installed in a cabinet. A battery-backed real-time clock preserves time stamps for alarms and data trends during power loss. Power delivery and 16-bit I/O communication both pass through the PC/104 system bus, allowing the CPU to exchange data with attached Beckhoff terminal slices without additional cabling.
