Product Description:

The CX9020-0115-1003 is a DIN-rail-mountable embedded PC built by Beckhoff within the CX Embedded PC Systems series. Designed to serve as a programmable logic and HMI platform, the unit combines controller, communication gateway, and local I/O coupler roles in a compact form for modular automation cells. It supports TwinCAT control software so IEC 61131-3 tasks, motion sequences, and fieldbus exchanges can be executed directly on the hardware without an external PC.

The computing core is an Arm Cortex-A8, 1 GHz processor, a profile that delivers deterministic cycle times for small to medium programs while keeping thermal losses low. Its 1 GB DDR3-RAM holds real-time variables, buffers visualization data, and caches protocol stacks, while 128 kB of NovRAM secures retain variables during power loss. Program and recipe data are stored on two microSD slots, with 512 MB preinstalled. For networking, the controller integrates 2 x RJ45 10/100 Mbit/s interfaces that can be configured for separate machine and plant networks. Four onboard 4 x USB 2.0 Type A connectors allow service keyboards, cameras, or WLAN adapters, and each connector supplies 500 mA. Even at full peripheral load, the unit draws no more than 5 W, and an internal 2 A I/O-bus feed powers directly attached Beckhoff Terminal blocks.

The electronics are energized from a 24 V DC supply so the PC can share power with standard control cabinet feeders. Within its compact housing of 84 x 100 x 91 mm, passive convection is sufficient because the board dissipates minimal heat. An optional DVI-I interface delivers graphics up to 1920 x 1200 px for local operator panels without requiring a separate IPC. The enclosure carries an IP20 protection rating, which limits use to clean, shielded switchgear spaces while simplifying wiring through open screw terminals. TwinCAT 3 Runtime (XAR) is installed so PLC code can start immediately after power-on.
