Beckhoff CX1030-0123 CX Series CPU Module

Description

Engineered for high-performance industrial control tasks, the CX1030-0123 CPU module serves as the central processing unit within the Beckhoff CX series embedded PC architecture. This module integrates an Intel Pentium M processor running at 1.8 GHz, providing robust computational power for demanding PLC, NC PTP, and NC I applications. It interfaces seamlessly with various I/O systems, including E-bus and K-bus, when connected to a compatible CX1100 power supply module.

The CX1030-0123 features dual RJ45 Ethernet ports connected via an internal switch, facilitating easy line-topology networking without additional external switches. System expansion is supported through a 16-bit ISA (PC/104) system bus, allowing the integration of further CX-series components. For reliable operation in harsh industrial environments, the unit is equipped with an active, speed-controlled cooling module and an easily replaceable fan cartridge.

Installation Guidelines

• Mounting: Mount the module on a standard 35 mm DIN rail (EN 60715) in a horizontal position.
• Power Connection: Ensure the module is properly coupled with a compatible CX1100 power supply module (CX1100-0012, CX1100-0013, or CX1100-014) to receive system power.
• Cooling Clearance: Maintain adequate clearance above and below the module to ensure unrestricted airflow through the cooling module and fan cartridge.
• Grounding: Ensure the DIN rail is properly grounded to the control cabinet's common ground reference to maintain EMC compliance.
