Product Description:

The CX2040-0155 is an embedded PC produced by Beckhoff within the CX Embedded PC Systems series. Intended to act as the central control layer in machine-level automation, the unit combines PC-based control, PLC functionality, and visualization tasks on a single DIN-rail module. In a production cell it hosts real-time fieldbus communication, coordinates motion sequences, and exchanges data with higher-level MES or SCADA platforms.

Its computational core is an Intel Core i7-2715QE 2.1 GHz processor that presents 4 physical CPU cores for deterministic multitasking under the supplied TwinCAT 3 Runtime (XAR). System responsiveness is supported by 4 GB DDR3 RAM, while fast program and recipe storage resides on a 40 GB CFast card. A dedicated Intel HD Graphics 3000 controller renders local HMI screens without loading the main CPU. Non-volatile process data is buffered in the integrated 128 kB NovRAM, safeguarding counters and status flags during power interruptions. The platform is energized from a 24 V DC control supply and draws up to 32 W when all interfaces are active. Internal circuits are isolated to withstand 500 V dielectric strength between supply and ground.

Network and peripheral connectivity are provided by 2 x RJ45 10/100/1000 Mbit/s Ethernet ports for fieldbus or diagnostic traffic, 4 x USB 2.0 sockets for service dongles or panel connections, and a 1 x DVI-I interface that drives external monitors up to 1920 × 1200 pixels. Protection against dust contact is rated at IP20, aligning the design with cabinet-mounted installations. The housing measures 144 mm × 99 mm × 91 mm and fits standard control enclosures without additional spacing hardware. Total height accommodates the embedded heat sink so forced ventilation is unnecessary. The port arrangement supports network, USB, and display connections from the base unit.
