Product Description:

The CX5130-0120 is an embedded PC manufactured by Beckhoff as part of the CX Embedded PC Systems series. It is intended to run PLC logic, HMI services, and motion control directly on a DIN rail inside control cabinets, removing the need for a separate industrial computer while maintaining deterministic real-time performance for field tasks. Windows Embedded Standard 7 P 32-bit is preinstalled to host the Beckhoff runtime and third-party utilities.

An Intel Atom E3827 processor with a clock frequency of 1.75 GHz provides primary computation, and its 2 cores let the operating system separate visualization, control, and communication threads. The CPU is supported by 4 GB DDR3-RAM, allowing simultaneous execution of TwinCAT tasks, database logging, and user interface processes without page swapping. A 40 GB CFast card installs in the front slot, and a MicroSD socket provides removable backup or recipe storage. Two RJ45 ports provide 10/100/1000 Mbit/s Ethernet connections for EtherCAT, MES, or remote access, while four USB 2.0 ports rated at 500 mA each accept service drives, barcode scanners, or UPS interfaces. The housing measures 142 × 100 × 92 mm and fits standard switchgear depths. The integrated DVI-I connector can drive a local panel for machine visualization.

Total power consumption peaks at 14 W, so cabinet thermal planning remains simple, and the wide-range input of 24 V DC (-15%/+20%) matches common machine power buses. The internal backplane supplies up to 10 W (5 V/2 A) to terminal modules through a dedicated I/O rail, eliminating the need for separate power feeds. The integrated graphics controller renders resolutions up to 1920 × 1200 over DVI-I for local dashboards. A 1 MB UPS data buffer preserves process variables during controlled shutdowns. The assembly weighs 1095 g, supporting direct mounting on light-gauge DIN rails without additional brackets.

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.
