Product Description:

Beckhoff manufactures the CX1020-0000. The Intel Celeron M ULV CPU, running at 1 GHz, is inside the CX1020-0000 embedded PC. The system’s main functions are driven by the continuous execution of instructions by this processor, which has a single core. The instruction cycle rate is controlled by the processor’s clock frequency; the higher the frequency, the faster the processor can fetch, decode, and execute instructions. In industrial automation, where strict operation standards require system responsiveness and low-latency processing, this is critical. For real-time applications where predictable behavior is necessary for equipment and process control, the device’s computing power is tuned.

The CX1020-0000’s memory is based on 256MB of DDR RAM, which provides a volatile, fast-access data area where datasets and active instructions are stored while the system is running. This dynamic memory architecture is necessary to allow the processor to manage volatile datasets without bottlenecks, handle concurrent operations, and lower execution latency. The architecture allows memory extension up to 1GB, so the embedded PC can be expanded to handle more computational loads as system complexity and data throughput increase. This scalability is necessary to upgrade the device for more extensive industrial applications where baseline memory capacity may be exceeded by process variance, larger application footprints, or higher network traffic.

A Compact Flash slot is used to store permanent data and application storage, which is initially filled with a 128MB card and can be extended for more storage requirements. Using non-volatile memory technology, this Compact Flash medium ensures that configuration files, operating software and other system data are preserved even in the event of a power outage. The PC has two 10/100 Mbps RJ45 Ethernet ports for communication infrastructure, making it easier to integrate devices into larger networked control systems. Dual ports provide functional traffic segregation or redundancy, which is necessary for communication reliability and predictable network behavior. Conduction and convection are used to control component temperatures through passive cooling and reducing the chance of mechanical failure. Active cooling ensures thermal stability under heavy processing in high thermal load areas and protects long-term operational reliability.
