Product Description:
The CX2030-0121 is an embedded PC module manufactured by Beckhoff for its CX Embedded PC Systems series. Acting as the central control element inside a DIN-rail cabinet, the unit combines an Intel architecture processor, fieldbus interfaces, and compact flash storage so that PLC logic, motion control, and HMI functions run on a single device. Its role in industrial automation is to replace separate controller, panel, and gateway hardware with a unified platform that mounts directly in the machine electrical enclosure.
The computing section uses an Intel Core i7 2610UE running at 1.5 GHz; this clock rate provides the maximum instruction cycle frequency available to real-time tasks. Two execution pipelines are available because the CPU provides 2 cores, allowing deterministic multitasking between the PLC, visualization, and fieldbus stacks. System RAM is sized at 2 GB DDR3-RAM, which is sufficient for a typical TwinCAT runtime plus user applications. Process data that must survive a power outage is written to 128 kB NovRAM, avoiding wear on solid-state disks caused by frequent variable storage. Operating system files and trend archives reside on a CFast card with a minimum capacity of 40 GB, providing ample space for software updates and historical logs.
Energy demand peaks at 27 W, so cabinet thermal design can rely on passive convection in most installations. The electronics accept a nominal 24 V DC input with a tolerance of -15% to +20%, matching common machine power buses. Internal isolation withstands up to 500 V of dielectric stress between the supply and housing, which helps protect the CPU board from transient grounding faults. The mechanical envelope is limited to 144 × 99 × 91 mm, permitting side-by-side installation next to I/O terminals while still leaving clearance for wiring and airflow. Integrated Intel HD Graphics 3000, clocked from a 350 MHz base frequency to an 850 MHz boost frequency, drives local displays without an external graphics card.
