Product Description:
The CX5120-0110 is an embedded PC module produced by Beckhoff as part of the CX Embedded PC Systems series. Designed to serve as the central control layer in distributed automation architectures, this fanless unit combines PLC logic, motion control, and supervisory HMI tasks in one DIN-rail package. By integrating directly with EtherCAT I/O and fieldbus couplers, it replaces separate controllers and reduces cabinet space requirements on factory lines and process skids.
Processing tasks are handled by an Intel Atom E3815 1.46 GHz single-core CPU that balances deterministic cycle times with low heat generation. The unit carries 2 GB DDR3 RAM, providing adequate space for real-time kernel operation, user programs, and diagnostic buffers. The unit accepts a regulated 24 V DC input and consumes up to 11 W, allowing operation from standard control-cabinet power rails without dedicated feeders. For panel safety, the housing meets the IP20 ingress protection rating, and the motherboard provides a dielectric strength of 500 V against neighboring circuits. The enclosure measures 122 mm wide, 100 mm high, and 92 mm deep, so the device fits beside terminal blocks on 35 mm rails. An integrated UPS bridges a supply loss for one second, giving the operating system time to save process data and close the file system properly.
Graphical duties are supported by a GPU with a 400 MHz base clock that shares 256 MB of system memory, enabling local display panels to show status pages without a dedicated graphics card. DirectX features are available up to Shader Model 5.0, which is sufficient for simple two-dimensional dashboards and touch-friendly SCADA clients. The multimedia capabilities support local visualization, while the compact, low-power design allows the controller to operate in small machine stations or as an edge node that sends sensor data to higher-level servers.
