Product Description:
Beckhoff manufactures the CX5010-1112, an embedded PC in the CX Embedded PC Systems series. The device serves as the central controller in industrial automation lines, where it runs real-time logic, positioning, and visualization tasks directly on a DIN-rail segment. By combining processor, memory, fieldbus interface, and power conditioning in a 100 × 106 × 92 mm housing, it eliminates the need for a separate industrial computer and simplifies cabinet wiring for PLC and motion control workcells. This compact arrangement lets the controller sit close to terminal modules, which helps keep cabinet layouts orderly and keeps control functions concentrated in one location.
Computational duties are handled by an Intel Atom Z510 that operates at 1.1 GHz, providing deterministic single-core performance for TwinCAT 2 PLC + NC-PTP runtime. Program data and variables reside in 512 MB RAM, while system images and recipes are stored on a 128 MB Compact Flash module that withstands vibration better than rotating media. The unit is fed from a 24 V DC supply and tolerates transients up to 500 Veff dielectric strength between isolated circuits. Internal distribution through the K-Bus supports modular I/O slices, and a 2 A current limit protects the backplane conductors. Protection class IP20 restricts use to clean, enclosed cabinets, and the convection-cooled aluminum body maintains a safe temperature rise under rated load.
External links expand the computing core without repeating the internal functions already described. Power dissipation tops out at 12 W, so neither forced air nor external heat sinks are usually required beside the controller. Two independent Ethernet channels on 2 x RJ45 sockets allow separation of plant networks from higher-level MES or SCADA traffic, and the front panel offers 4 x USB 2.0 ports for service tools, data logging, or human-machine interface dongles. A DVI-D connector drives touch panels up to SXGA resolution, which allows the unit to support local visualization without an added graphics interface. This mix of network, display, and peripheral connections supports machine control, data exchange, and operator interaction from the same housing.
