Product Description:

Beckhoff's CX5130-0120 is an Embedded PC made specifically for the purpose of industrial control. An Intel Atom E3827 dual-core processor that operates at 1.75 GHz is included in the model, which features a fanless design and a compact design. The PC is capable of operating with a variety of operating systems, including Windows Embedded Standard 7 P, 32-bit, and can be connected to either E-bus or K-bus I/O interfaces.

The CX5130-0120 embedded PC has four USB 2.0 ports, two Gigabit Ethernet interfaces that can handle 10/100/1000 Mbit/s, and a DVI-I interface that can connect both analog and digital displays. The embedded PC uses up to 14 W of power at most, but 20 W when the built-in 1-second UPS is charging. The integrated PC comes with 4 GB of fixed DDR3 RAM, a CFast card slot, and a microSD card slot. Intel HD Graphics oversees the graphics. Optional connections like CANopen, PROFIBUS, or RS232 can be set up at the factory. According to EN 60068-2-6 and EN 60068-2-27 standards, the device is approved to be resistant to vibration and shock. The embedded PC handles a relative humidity of up to 95% without condensation and can work at temperatures between –25°C and +60°C or be stored at temperatures between –40°C and +85°C.

The CX5130-0120 embedded PC has an IP20 rating for protection and weighs about 1.095 kg, and is 142 mm long, 100 mm wide, and 92 mm high. The embedded PC has 256 MB of shared memory and the highest resolution of 2560 × 1440 pixels. CE and UL certifications are present on the embedded PC and ensure consistent performance and a robust connection for demanding control applications.

Symptom / LED indication Probable cause Quick fix / next step
PWR LED off – device stays dark 24 V power supply missing or wrong pin-out; blown supply fuse Verify 24 V DC at the power connector, check fuse, correct wiring, then power-cycle. 
System hangs during boot CFast / micro-SD card removed or corrupted; BIOS settings incorrect Re-seat card, reload backup image, reset BIOS to defaults, reboot. 
TC LED red – TwinCAT in “STOP” PLC program not running (manual stop, license, or watchdog) Open TwinCAT, review logs, clear errors, set run-mode, restart PLC task. 
TC LED yellow – PLC crash Unhandled exception inside PLC task Analyze crash dump, debug code, download fixed PLC, then run. 
HDD LED stays solid red Intensive or stalled CFast access; file-system damage Run chkdsk / fsck on CFast, restore image, avoid hard power-offs.
K-BUS ERR LED – continuous flash EMC disturbance or generic K-bus command/data error Check 24 V stability, apply EMC shielding, power-cycle to localise fault. 
K-BUS ERR LED – 3 pulses Break behind power-supply terminal; missing or bad Bus Terminal Halve terminal chain to find faulty module; replace / reseat bus end-terminal. 
Unit shuts down, housing hot Ambient > 60 °C or incorrect DIN-rail mounting blocking airflow Improve ventilation, respect mounting clearances, keep below 60 °C. 
Clock resets / “RTC battery low” at start-up CMOS CR2032 battery exhausted (≈ 5-year life) Power off, replace with 3 V CR2032 (225 mAh), then set BIOS date/time. 
Ethernet ports vanish in Device Manager Standard Intel driver installed – Beckhoff real-time driver removed Run Restore Beckhoff Real-Time Driver wizard, then reboot IPC.
