Product Description:

The CX5010-1121 is an embedded PC manufactured by Beckhoff and positioned within the CX Embedded PC Systems series. It functions as a compact industrial controller that runs TwinCAT 2 PLC Runtime to execute deterministic logic and motion tasks on the plant floor. By combining a Windows-based operating layer with fieldbus couplers, the unit replaces separate PLCs and PC gateways, streamlining machine control for users who prefer PC-style programming tools.

The device is driven by an Intel Atom Z510 processor with a single core clocked at 1.1 GHz. This combination balances low thermal output with enough compute capacity for standard PLC cycles. A main memory allocation of 512 MB RAM stores both the real-time kernel and user tasks, while retained variables can be buffered by the integrated UPS. Two Ethernet interfaces presented as 2 × RJ45 sockets support segmented networks, and each port switches automatically between 10/100/1000 Mbit/s so EtherCAT field networks and office networks can coexist without an external switch. The K-bus terminal on the side connects directly to Beckhoff I/O slices for digital and analog expansion. Graphics for local HMIs leave the controller through a DVI-D port, and dielectric strength of 500 Veff isolates internal logic from external wiring.

The aluminum housing measures 106 × 100 × 92 mm, permitting DIN rail mounting inside narrow cabinets. Maximum power draw is limited to 12 W, allowing the controller to share 24 VDC supplies with sensors without oversizing the power budget. An IP20 rating restricts use to clean, dry enclosures, and four front-facing 4 × USB 2.0 ports simplify attachment of a keyboard, service stick, or Wi-Fi adapter. The integrated UPS helps retained data survive brief voltage dips, and the fanless design keeps maintenance requirements low.
