Product Description:
The CX1020-0120 is an embedded PC module manufactured by Beckhoff and supplied within the CX Embedded PC Systems series. Created for industrial automation cells and machine lines, the device serves as the central controller that executes PLC code, motion control tasks, and visualization while interfacing directly with distributed I/O. By combining computing, networking, and data storage in one compact housing, it replaces separate rack PCs and PLC racks and supports cabinet-mounted control where space is limited. This arrangement is useful in machines that need local processing close to field devices and operator interfaces.
At the core of the system is an Intel Celeron M ULV processor running at 1 GHz, coupled to a 16-bit ISA PC/104 system bus that links the CPU board to I/O slices and fieldbus terminals. Heat is removed through passive cooling, which eliminates moving parts and keeps airflow requirements low. Network connectivity is handled by 2 × RJ45 ports that are internally routed through an internal 3-port Ethernet switch, allowing the controller to pass network traffic to downstream devices. Nonvolatile program and recipe data can be stored in the Compact Flash Type I+II expansion slot. During full load, the device has a maximum power loss of 11 W, which helps support tight cabinet thermal budgets.
The operating system supplied with this configuration is Windows XP Embedded, which provides the platform for user-installed TwinCAT runtimes because no preinstalled license is included. The electronic design reports a thermal design power of 7 W, and the housing maintains an IP20 protection class that limits access to live conductors. Two front-access 2 × USB 2.0 sockets support removable media or HMI peripherals, with each port limited to 100 mA. Video is delivered through a DVI-I 29-pin socket with analog DVI-A compatibility for legacy monitors. This combination supports local service connections and standard display setups without requiring external video adapters.
