Product Description:
The CX2042-0175 is an embedded PC manufactured by Beckhoff within the CX Embedded PC Systems series. This DIN-rail unit consolidates processing, storage, and fieldbus connectivity to serve as the central controller for motion sequences, logic execution, and data handling in industrial automation cells. It combines machine control, communication, and local data processing in one housing, which helps reduce the need for separate industrial computers and interface modules.
Internally, the controller employs an Intel Xeon D-1527 processor with 4 cores running at 2.2 GHz, allowing deterministic multitasking for PLC cycles and Windows services. Application data reside in 8 GB DDR4 RAM, while graphical objects are rendered by an AMD E8860 GPU equipped with 2 GB GDDR5 to support multi-monitor HMIs. The integrated bus can address 65534 E-bus terminals, permitting extensive digital and analog I/O without separate couplers. This combination allows the unit to handle control, visualization, and communication tasks on the same platform. When all subsystems are active, the device draws up to 95 W, which is useful for cabinet power planning.
For installation, the PC accepts a 24 V DC supply and its circuitry withstands a dielectric test of 500 V, supporting safe separation from higher-voltage cabinet components. The aluminum housing measures 204 × 99 × 91 mm, so multiple units can line up on the same rail without exceeding shallow enclosure depths. With an IP20 protection rating, the device is intended for clean control panels and relies on system airflow for cooling. Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2019 LTSC and TwinCAT 3 Runtime are preloaded on a 40 GB CFast card, while 128 kB of NOVRAM secures variable data during unexpected power loss. This arrangement supports fast startup and helps preserve important runtime values after an unplanned shutdown.
