Product Description:
The CX5120-0175 is an embedded PC module produced by Beckhoff for the CX Embedded PC Systems series. Installed on a DIN rail beside I/O terminals, the unit provides application-level computing inside industrial control cabinets. It supports PLC logic, motion tasks, and HMI functions through the TwinCAT runtime environment. The compact housing is suitable for control systems that require local processing without the space requirements of a conventional industrial computer.
Processing is handled by a single-core CPU clocked at 1.46 GHz, paired with 2 GB of DDR3 RAM for the operating system and control applications. A 24 VDC supply connects through a spring terminal, and the device has a peak power draw of 11 W. Fieldbus add-on cards can receive up to 10 W through the internal I/O bus without separate power wiring. The front panel provides four USB 2.0 Type-A ports for keyboards, storage devices, touchscreens, and other compatible peripherals. The fanless design dissipates processor heat through conduction surfaces, reducing the number of moving components inside the cabinet. A watchdog monitors supply stability, while the onboard UPS capacitor provides a 1-second bridge during short power interruptions to help protect the file system.
The module has dimensions of 122 × 100 × 92 mm and uses tool-free clips for DIN rail mounting. Two independent Ethernet controllers provide two RJ45 ports, allowing the system to support a line topology or connect to separate machine networks. A shared graphics adapter uses 256 MB of memory for local display output, leaving the remaining system memory available for logic and motion tasks. Removable storage is available through one CFast slot and one MicroSD slot, supporting system images and expanded data logging capacity. Each USB receptacle can supply up to 500 mA to compatible peripheral devices. The electronics have a dielectric isolation rating of 500 V, providing separation between the supply and signal grounds so secondary-side faults do not propagate to connected field wiring.
