Product Description:
The CX5010-0121 embedded PC is produced by Beckhoff as part of the CX Embedded PC Systems series. It combines an industrial CPU module, fieldbus interface, and I/O supply section into one compact unit intended for cabinet installation. In a typical plant, the controller runs deterministic PLC tasks, motion sequences, and visualization software, acting as the central node for E-Bus terminals and remote Ethernet devices within an automation cell.
At its core, an Intel Atom Z510 Processor executes user code at 1.1 GHz, providing deterministic cycle times for PLC logic created with TwinCAT 2 PLC Runtime. The system carries 512 MB RAM for variable storage and buffering, while the program and operating system reside on a 128 MB Compact Flash card that withstands vibration better than rotating media. Two Gigabit Ethernet ports with 2 x RJ45, 10/100/1000 Mbit/s connectivity support control network segregation or direct coupling to higher-level SCADA systems. The unit also has front-mounted 4 x USB 2.0 receptacles for service peripherals, UPS adapters, or data keys without internal expansion slots. The E-Bus backplane forwards process images to Beckhoff terminals while a dedicated 2 A I/O supply line powers upstream modules.
The controller operates from a 24 V DC source and dissipates a maximum of 12 W, permitting passive convection cooling inside shallow enclosures that measure only 100 × 106 × 92 mm. Its dielectric strength of 500 Veff isolates the logic electronics from field wiring, and the housing meets the IP20 protection class for installation in clean control cabinets. A DVI-D port delivers local HMI graphics, and the integrated power rail can feed an E-Bus stack while limiting terminal current to 2 A. This layout suits compact control cabinets that need both local display output and direct terminal expansion.
