Product Description:
The CX5020-0122 is an embedded PC module built by Beckhoff for the CX Embedded PC Systems series. It acts as the core of a rail-mounted PLC and motion platform, running deterministic control tasks, data logging, and visualization from the same compact unit. By combining PC technology with industrial I/O terminals, the device lets machine builders place real-time control directly inside the electrical cabinet without separate panel PCs. In automated lines, it replaces traditional rack controllers by providing computational resources and fieldbus gateways in a housing that attaches to the same DIN rail as the terminal blocks.
The controller ships with TwinCAT 2 NC-PTP Runtime, so axis positioning and PLC logic run on the Intel Atom Z530 processor. This single-core CPU operates at 1.6 GHz, providing predictable cycle times for medium-sized motion tasks. Electric power is supplied at 24 V DC, and the internal I/O bus can deliver 2 A to directly attached terminal slices. Thermal loading remains low, with worst-case power dissipation rated at 12.5 W, allowing fanless installation. Insulation between the supply and electronics withstands 500 Veff, supporting cabinet designs with mixed-voltage sections. Program and data storage starts with a 2 GB CompactFlash card. The housing measures 106 mm in width, 100 mm in height, and 92 mm in depth, so it fits inside shallow enclosures.
Field connectivity is provided by 2 Ethernet ports that can be assigned to separate machine networks or used for service access. Four USB receptacles support removable media and diagnostic tools, and they comply with the USB 2.0 standard for transfers at up to 480 Mbit/s. A digital graphics channel is provided through DVI-D, allowing a flat-panel HMI to connect without converters. The available connections support links to field devices, external storage, input peripherals, and operator displays. Separate Ethernet connections also allow control traffic and other network communication to use different physical ports.
