Product Description:
The CX1020-0000 is an embedded PC module produced by Beckhoff and grouped within the CX Embedded PC Systems series. Designed to act as the central controller in distributed I/O or motion architectures, the device combines PLC, HMI, and communication tasks in a single DIN-rail package for machine and plant automation. It fits directly on standard system terminals and replaces stand-alone rack PCs in control cabinets.
At its core, the module runs on a 1 GHz Intel Celeron M ULV processor that is soldered to the board to minimize vibration-related faults. The CPU works with 256 MB DDR-RAM, providing deterministic cycle times for typical PLC logic and visualization tasks. Nonvolatile program and recipe data are stored on a 64 MB Compact Flash card, and additional media can be added through the Compact Flash Type I+II expansion slot. Field data move across the 16-bit ISA (PC104) system bus, so I/O terminals attached to the right side of the unit share the same address space as the CPU without external bridges. Networking is handled by an integrated three-port Ethernet switch that provides two 100-Mbit front connections through two RJ45 connectors, allowing a line topology without extra hardware. Heat is removed through passive cooling fins. Power is supplied from the adjacent power module through internal pins, eliminating the need for separate wiring.
The module has a thermal design power of 7 W, while worst-case power losses do not exceed 11 W, permitting operation in fanless enclosures. The electronics are housed in an IP20-rated aluminum frame that measures 96 × 112 × 99 mm, so the controller occupies roughly the width of a standard power supply on the DIN rail. With a mass of 550 g, the unit can mount directly onto terminal blocks without additional support brackets, and its low thermal output allows placement beside other heat-sensitive devices without derating.
