Product Description:

The CX5020-0112 from Beckhoff is a smart embedded PC from the CX embedded PC systems of the manufacturer. This device features a compact and powerful Intel Atom Z350 central processing unit at a clock rate of 1.6 Gigahertz. This processor is robust enough to perform various control functions under a low-power consumption setting with a frequency suitable for lighter operations. The device features 2 Gigabytes of random access memory for storage and data processing. The memory type is the Double Data Rate 2 rating that allows for data transfer from both rising and falling edges of a clock cycle. The double movement helps to maintain a power efficiency that keeps the device working under optimal conditions for a long period. The power consumption is rated at approximately 12 watts. ||The CX5020-0112 operating system is either Windows Embedded Compact & or Windows Embedded Standard 7, depending on preferences. The device has multiple interfaces, including 4 USB 2.0. Another interface option is the DVI-D interface, which transfers digital display data. Under standard installation options, the DVI cable should not be longer than 5 meters when connecting to a digital display. The Embedded PC unit also features an exchangeable battery that is located under the front cover for easy access. For best practices, it is recommended that the battery is replaced every 5 years.

The CX5020-0112 should not be operated vertically on the top-hat rail after installation. Vertical positioning reduces the processor ventilation. Other maintenance practices include keeping the device working within the acceptable operating temperature range of -25 degrees Celsius to +60 degrees Celsius. The storage temperature is between -40 degrees Celsius and +80 degrees Celsius. The relative humidity should be at 95 percent with no condensation.

Symptom / Error Message Likely Cause Recommended Fix / Action
Embedded PC will not power-up (no LEDs) 24 V DC supply absent or below 18 V; internal fuse tripped Verify cabinet supply voltage, test PSU, replace 5 × 20 mm fuse (2 A slow-blow) if open
Red “SYS” LED flashing 3 Hz on start-up Boot device (CFast/SSD) missing or corrupt Reseat or replace CFast card; restore image with Beckhoff Service Tool
EtherCAT “RUN” LED off, “ERR” LED blinking Wrong ENI file or mismatched firmware Reload correct ENI, update firmware and EtherCAT stack, reboot
TwinCAT “Init → Config” transition fails (error 0x1020) License mismatch or missing I/O terminals detected Check TwinCAT license files; verify terminal order and addresses
Frequent “Watchdog” resets CPU overload or real-time task overrun Profile tasks in TwinCAT Scope, lower cycle time, split tasks across cores, add CX-extension module if necessary
Blue “BAT” LED on On-board RTC battery < 2.6 V Replace CR2032 cell (unit powered off); reload date/time and BIOS settings
CFast access LED solid red File-system error or impending media failure Run chkdsk /f via Safe Mode; back up data, replace CFast card
Excessive temperature warning in TwinCAT (≥ 70 °C) Fanless cooling blocked; high cabinet ambient Improve airflow, add panel fan or heat sink; keep ≤ 55 °C ambient
LAN port link LEDs dark Damaged RJ-45 jack or incorrect cable Inspect connector, test with known-good Cat-5e cable, replace port via CX20x0-N010 module if faulty
“No bootable device” BIOS message Boot order changed or BIOS battery flat Enter BIOS (Del key), set CFast as first device, save & exit; replace battery if recurring
