Product Description:

The CX1030-0012 is an embedded PC manufactured by Beckhoff within the CX Embedded PC Systems series. Designed for cabinet installation, it serves as the central controller in automated plants, combining PLC logic, motion control, and visualization tasks on a single hardware platform. The device runs the TwinCAT NC PTP Runtime so that machine axes, process variables, and operator interfaces can be processed with deterministic cycle times over a compact DIN-rail form factor.

At its core, an Intel Pentium M processor operates at 1.8 GHz, providing x86-compatible performance for complex control algorithms and real-time fieldbus handling. Program execution space is supported by 256 MB DDR-RAM, allowing sizable logic projects and buffered data sets without external memory expansion. Application code, operating system files, and recipe data are stored on a 64 MB Compact Flash Card; the slot accepts Type I or Type II media for quick exchange or cloning. Two Ethernet channels presented through 2 x RJ45 connectors enable simultaneous machine-level networking and higher-level SCADA or MES communication, while additional Compact Flash expansion accommodates local backups or diagnostic images.

The controller dissipates a maximum of 11 W, so passive convection cooling inside a standard control cabinet is sufficient in most ambient conditions. An IP20 housing protects the electronics from incidental contact and settled dust, but it requires installation in a closed enclosure for harsher areas. All local terminal modules attach over a 16-Bit ISA (PC104 Standard) system bus, which provides fixed-cycle data exchange between the CPU and I/O slices. Mechanical dimensions of 96 mm width, 99 mm depth, and 112 mm height keep the unit compact, and the total assembled weight is only 550 g, minimizing rail loading in densely populated panels.
