Product Description:
The CX1030-0021 is an embedded PC manufactured by Beckhoff for the CX Embedded PC Systems series. It serves as a compact control platform. The system combines PC technology with PLC functionality for machine-level automation tasks in industrial environments. This arrangement supports local control without requiring a separate industrial computer. The platform is suited to machine cells where compact hardware and reliable control are required.
This unit is built around an Intel Pentium M processor clocked at 1.8 GHz; the single-core architecture executes the TwinCAT 2 PLC Runtime that handles real-time logic and motion sequences. A main memory of 256 MB DDR RAM supports code execution and data buffering, while the 16-bit ISA (PC/104) system bus links I/O and specialized interface modules. Network connectivity is provided through 2 x RJ45 ports that operate at 10/100 Mbit/s; an internal switch is present so field devices can be daisy-chained without an external hub. Status feedback is delivered by one power LED, two LAN LEDs, a TC LED, and a flash LED, making basic diagnostics available directly on the front panel. The housing omits DVI and USB connectors, a configuration that focuses the device on headless control tasks where remote access is handled over Ethernet.
Thermal management relies on a Cooling Module + Fan Cartridge, allowing the processor to maintain rated performance in cabinets with limited airflow. Program and recipe data can be stored on a 1 x CompactFlash Type I+II slot, enabling media replacement without opening the enclosure. Time-stamped process logging is supported by a battery-backed internal clock, ensuring continuity through power cycles. The unit has an IP20 rating, so it should be installed in a clean, dry control cabinet. Side vents support passive airflow through the enclosure.
