CX5010-1100 by Beckhoff

The CX5010-1100 from Beckhoff is a distinguished component in the CX Embedded PC Systems line, engineered specifically for industrial automation. Powered by a Intel Atom Z510 processor running at 1.1 GHz, the unit is optimized for fundamental automation tasks and compact industrial applications. It features a robust passive cooling system and a precise internal battery-backed clock that aids in accurate timekeeping. Designed to operate reliably, the product offers seamless integration with external control systems and is underpinned by essential connectivity provided in its technical specifications.

Detailed technical specifications reinforce its functionality, with a dedicated 512 MB of non-expandable RAM and an expandable compact flash slot starting at 128 MB. Enhanced communication capabilities are achieved through 2 x RJ45 10/100/1000 Mbit/s ports, 4 x USB 2.0 ports, and a DVI-D interface along with an optional extra interface. Furthermore, the unit supports a 2 A current supply via E-bus/k-bus and utilizes a simple yet efficient passive cooling mechanism. The system is equipped without an operating system, providing flexibility to deploy user preferred control software, although no TwinCAT is pre-installed.

Additional features include integrated diagnostic LEDs for power, TC status, flash access, and bus status, enhancing system monitoring in industrial setups. The K-bus I/O connection guarantees automated recognition for streamlined integration across diverse applications. Operating at a maximum power consumption of 12 W with a nominal power supply of 24 V DC (-15%/+20%), this compact embedded PC offers an energy-efficient solution that provides critical benefits such as durability, streamlined connectivity, and reliable performance in modern industrial automation environments.
