Product Description:
The CX5120-0170 is an embedded PC module produced by Beckhoff for the CX Embedded PC Systems series. This DIN-rail-mounted controller combines processor logic, communication interfaces, and fieldbus access in one unit for installation inside an industrial control cabinet. It can run PLC, motion, and HMI tasks on the same hardware, reducing the number of separate computing devices required within a machine control system.
The unit uses an Intel Atom E3815 processor that runs at 1.46 GHz and contains a single CPU core, providing deterministic execution for real-time machine sequences. The system includes 2 GB of DDR3 RAM for PLC variables, user programs, and data-logging buffers, while Intel HD Graphics handles display output with 256 MB of shared memory. Four USB 2.0 host interfaces allow local attachment of service panels, RFID readers, or backup drives, and each port can supply up to 500 mA. Network integration is handled through two RJ45 Gigabit LAN connectors, which support segmented control networks or simultaneous connections to plant and office VLANs. The compact motherboard also includes an integrated one-second uninterruptible power supply that bridges brief power interruptions and permits controlled data retention. The module is supplied without a TwinCAT runtime, allowing the appropriate software license to be selected for the intended control application.
The logic stage operates from a 24 V DC supply and draws no more than 11 W under full processor load, limiting heat buildup in passively ventilated enclosures. Its IP20 housing protects the internal circuitry against contact with fingers and similarly sized solid objects while maintaining a slim profile for dense control-cabinet mounting. External visualization is available through a separate DVI-I connector, which supports the attachment of a diagnostic display or local HMI without requiring an additional graphics adapter. The combination of passive operation, low power consumption, and compact DIN-rail installation makes the module suitable for cabinet layouts where available space and cooling capacity are limited.
