CX1010-0111 by Beckhoff

The CX1010-0111 from Beckhoff and belonging to the CX Embedded PC Systems series is a compact, single-core embedded PC engineered for industrial automation. This device features a 500 MHz clock frequency with an Intel Pentium MMX compatible processor that drives robust real time processes and control applications. Designed for efficiency, it incorporates a dedicated slot for a Compact Flash type II insert with ejector and offers 256 MB DDR RAM to support its processing tasks along with a built-in passive cooling system that ensures quiet and reliable operation.

Detailed technical specifications highlight its suitability for stringent industrial requirements. The module is equipped with an internal battery-backed clock to maintain accurate time and date settings and operates with TwinCAT 2 PLC runtime or TwinCAT 2 NC PTP runtime for control flexibility. It includes a diagnostic LED array comprising indicators for power, LAN speed, LAN activity, flash access, and TwinCAT status, assisting in quick troubleshooting. Connectivity is provided via a 1 x RJ45 10/100 Mbit/s interface while data transmission to I/O devices is achieved through a 16 bit ISA (PC/104) system bus linked via various power supply modules, emphasizing its reliable integration in networked environments.

Additional operational benefits include a low max. power consumption of 8 W and a streamlined power supply mechanism through compatible CX1100 series power modules. The design incorporates a passive cooling system that eliminates the need for moving parts, thus minimizing maintenance and enhancing longevity. With an expandable flash memory starting at 128 MB and modular interface options, this embedded PC is perfectly tailored for applications that demand both durability and precise industrial control, ensuring maximum efficiency and continuous reliable performance.
