Product Description:

The CX5110-0115-9020 is an embedded PC module engineered by Beckhoff within the CX Embedded PC Systems series. Designed for DIN-rail installation in control cabinets, this unit combines CPU, memory, and communication ports to operate as the primary logic and motion platform in automated packaging lines, HVAC plants, and material handling cells. Running TwinCAT 3 Runtime, it executes IEC 61131-3 PLC code, motion sequences, and visualization tasks while supporting direct terminal extension on the right-hand bus connector. Its compact layout allows machine control, motion handling, and local display tasks to be combined in one cabinet-mounted unit.

Electrical power is supplied at 24 V DC, a common control voltage that simplifies integration with machine power supplies. Network connectivity is delivered through 2 x Gigabit Ethernet ports, enabling fast fieldbus couplers or IT-level data exchange without additional switches. Four host interfaces, listed as 4 x USB 2.0, allow connection of service laptops, barcode scanners, or touch displays. A dedicated DVI-I output drives a local monitor for panel-mount visualization. With a protection rating of IP20, the hardware is intended for operation inside an enclosure where it is shielded from conductive dust and remains accessible for cabling. Additional resources include a CFast slot, a MicroSD slot, and a CR2032 maintenance battery that preserves BIOS and real-time clock data. This mix of connections supports direct attachment of common peripherals without separate interface modules.

The backplane isolation withstands 500 V, separating the internal electronics from field wiring to reduce fault propagation. Up to 2048 B in / 2048 B out of K-bus process data can be exchanged each cycle, and the expansion path supports as many as 65534 EtherCAT E-bus terminals. For short-term retention of variable data during power loss, a capacitive UPS secures 1 MB on CFast card without requiring external batteries. The terminal segment delivers 2 A for sensor supply, while the power contacts can carry 10 A to actuators mounted farther along the bus. This arrangement helps the controller keep process data moving across attached terminals during normal operation and brief interruptions.
