Product Description:
The CX5300_2 embedded PC is produced by Beckhoff within the CX Embedded PC Systems series. Designed as a compact industrial controller, it attaches directly to a DIN rail and hosts the operating system that executes PLC logic and visualization tasks. By colocating processing power with I/O terminals, the unit reduces cabinet space requirements and brings deterministic control closer to sensors, drives, and actuators on the machine floor. An integrated DVI-I socket delivers local HMI graphics to a control panel, while a USB 2.0 service port facilitates program loading during system setup.
An Intel Atom x5-E3930 processor forms the computing core, balancing low power consumption with x86 compatibility. Its fixed 1.30 GHz clock rate provides stable execution timing for cyclic PLC tasks and soft-motion calculations. The controller integrates 2 GB of DDR4 RAM, allowing user programs, HMI services, and fieldbus stacks to reside in memory without paging delays. The unit uses fanless cooling to dissipate heat through the aluminum housing, eliminating filters and reducing maintenance requirements in dusty environments. Power is supplied at 24 V DC, so the device can share the same low-voltage rail that feeds contactors, sensors, and distributed I/O modules.
The processor has two cores, allowing one thread to handle deterministic control while another manages communication or visualization tasks. Network connectivity is provided by two RJ45 Ethernet ports that can be separated for fieldbus protocols, corporate networks, or service access. Removable program and data storage is available through a CFast card slot, providing solid-state persistence and allowing the storage medium to be removed when necessary. Peripheral expansion includes one USB 3.0 port, which supports high-speed cameras, storage drives, or service dongles without occupying network bandwidth. These interfaces allow the controller to communicate with local peripherals and networked automation equipment while keeping the primary control functions within a compact DIN-rail-mounted enclosure.
