Product Description:
The CX5140-0163 is an embedded PC manufactured by Beckhoff for the CX Embedded PC Systems series. It combines PLC, motion, and visualization tasks in one DIN-rail unit, allowing machine builders to run TwinCAT control logic directly on the hardware without a separate host computer. By accommodating fieldbus modules beside the CPU, the device can serve as the central controller in compact industrial automation panels. Its integrated design reduces the number of separate computing components required within a control cabinet.
The processor is an Intel Atom E3845 operating at 1.91 GHz and has four cores, allowing deterministic real-time tasks and Windows processes to share one chip. System memory consists of 4 GB of DDR3 RAM, while 256 MB of shared graphics memory supports local HMI screens. Two RJ45 Gigabit LAN ports connect EtherCAT, Modbus TCP, or standard Ethernet devices, while four USB 2.0 sockets accommodate service tools and removable media. The installed operating system is Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2019 LTSC 32-bit. TwinCAT 2 NC I Runtime is also preinstalled, supporting axis interpolation and PLC code execution after power-up. A dielectric strength of 500 V separates the field wiring from the logic rails, and the 2 A I/O supply current powers attached Bus Terminals without an auxiliary source. Power enters through a 24 V DC input that tolerates a variation from -15% to +20%, matching the supply range commonly available in industrial control cabinets.
Continuous operation of the CPU and peripherals draws 16 W, while adding the optional UPS module increases power consumption to 23 W. The supply contacts can pass up to 10 A to downstream terminals, simplifying power distribution between connected modules. The unit measures 142 × 100 × 92 mm, allowing it to fit into compact DIN-rail assemblies with limited cabinet space. Its mass is 1,095 g, which permits installation on lightweight mounting rails when the rail and fasteners are properly supported. The compact enclosure keeps the processor, memory, communication interfaces, and I/O power connections together within a single industrial controller. Separate power contacts allow downstream terminals to receive supply power without requiring individual cabinet wiring for every connected module.
