Product Description:
The CX2043-0185 is an embedded PC produced by Beckhoff for the CX Embedded PC Systems series. The module is designed to run the TwinCAT/BSD operating system, combining deterministic control and general-purpose computing on one platform. Within an automation line, it consolidates PLC, industrial PC, and gateway functions in a single 144 × 99 × 91 mm housing. This arrangement simplifies cabinet layouts and wiring while keeping the installation within protected switchgear cabinets.
An AMD Ryzen V1807B processor operating at 3.35 GHz supplies the computational performance needed for motion control, data logging, and visualization tasks. The processor has four physical cores, allowing multiple real-time threads to execute concurrently. Memory resources include 8 GB of DDR4 RAM, which helps prevent paging delays when large PLC projects or databases are loaded. Graphics output is handled by the AMD Radeon Vega 11 GPU, which supports Shader Model 6.4 for advanced 2D and 3D rendering. Network connectivity is provided by two RJ45 10/100/1000 Mbit/s Ethernet interfaces, allowing machine-level communication to remain separate from supervisory traffic. Nonvolatile data retention is supported by 128 kB of NOVRAM, while security keys are stored in an fTPM 2.0 secure element.
External peripherals connect through four USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports rated at 900 mA, providing high-speed data transfer for storage devices and other compatible equipment. The controller operates from a regulated 24 V DC supply with a -15% to +20% tolerance. Its maximum power consumption is 70 W, which should be considered when sizing the cabinet power supply and planning heat dissipation. The electronics have an IP20 protection rating, guarding internal components against contact with fingers and solid objects larger than 12.5 mm. Internal insulation withstands 500 V of dielectric stress between isolated sections. The compact housing allows the computer to be installed where cabinet space is limited, while its processing, graphics, networking, and peripheral resources support demanding industrial control workloads.
