Product Description:
Beckhoff’s CX1030-0012-1004 is an embedded PC from the CX Embedded PC Systems series. The unit combines a compact Intel-based CPU with local I/O and fieldbus interfaces so it can run PLC, motion, and HMI tasks directly in the control cabinet. Within an automation cell, it replaces separate PLC hardware and provides deterministic control for drives, sensors, and visualization components. As part of the CX family, the device mounts on a DIN rail next to EtherCAT terminals and supports the same configuration software used across Beckhoff controllers.
At the core is a 1.8 GHz Intel Pentium M processor paired with 256 MB DDR-RAM, giving the controller enough processing capacity for multitasking logic and interpolation. Program code and operating data are stored on a 64 MB Compact Flash module, and an external Type I+II slot allows quick media exchange for recipe or data updates. Two independent Gigabit Ethernet channels are provided through 2 x RJ45 sockets. They operate with Windows CE.NET and the TwinCAT NC PTP runtime so motion cycles can be synchronized over standard Ethernet. The battery-backed real-time clock timestamps alarms, and the lack of DVI and USB keeps the front profile simple when no local operator panel is required.
The active cooling module draws enclosure air across the heat sink and keeps power dissipation within 11 W, so the controller can remain in tight cabinets without additional fans. A three-port internal switch routes Ethernet frames between the network sockets and the backplane; this function is identified as 3-Port and removes the need for an external hub. Protection grade IP20 suits typical control cabinet installation, while the 16-Bit ISA (PC104) system bus links optional interface cards to the CPU board. The physical size of 96 mm × 112 mm × 99 mm helps the unit fit compact mounting spaces inside the cabinet.
