Beckhoff CX2062-0155 Basic CPU Module

Description

Designed to execute intensive control and visualization applications directly on the DIN rail, the Beckhoff CX2062-0155 basic CPU module delivers workstation-grade processing performance. This controller features an Intel Xeon D-1548 8-core processor operating at 2.0 GHz, paired with an AMD Radeon E8860 GPU equipped with 2 GB of dedicated GDDR5 graphics memory. Optimized for high-performance TwinCAT 3 runtime operations, the system integrates 8 GB of DDR4 RAM, non-volatile NOVRAM for retain data storage, and a robust ball-bearing fan for active thermal regulation.

Features

• Multicore processing via Intel Xeon D-1548 2.0 GHz CPU (8 active cores).
• Dedicated graphics subsystem with AMD E8860 and 2 GB GDDR5 RAM via DVI-I output.
• 8 GB DDR4 RAM main memory, expandable to 64 GB at factory level.
• Integrated 128 kB NOVRAM for power-fail safe persistent data retention.
• Dual independent 10/100/1000 Mbit/s RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet ports.
• Four USB 3.0 ports for high-bandwidth peripheral integration.
• Integrated ball-bearing cooling fan with speed monitoring and feedback loop.
• Automatic bus recognition for seamless connection of either E-bus (EtherCAT) or K-bus (standard Bus Terminals) systems.

Applications

• High-density multi-axis coordinated motion control and robotics.
• Inline industrial machine vision processing and pattern recognition.
• High-performance edge computing nodes and industrial IoT gateways.
• Complex Human-Machine Interfaces (HMI) with concurrent SCADA database execution.

Connections and Interfaces

Alternative Models & Compatibility

The CX2062-0155 resides in the very high-performance tier of the CX2000 industrial hardware matrix. When upgrading older CX2000-series units (such as the CX2020 or CX2030 series), verify that your TwinCAT licenses are configured for Platform Level 80 (Very High Performance), as licenses designed for lower platforms (e.g., Level 50 or 60) will not run on this Xeon-based model without upgrade migrations.

Application Pitfalls & Engineering Notes

Due to the high-performance capabilities of the 8-core Xeon processor and dedicated AMD GPU, this basic CPU module can draw up to 103 W. Ensure your selected CX2100-series power supply module has adequate current capabilities to drive both the CPU and any downstream bus terminals. If deploying this unit within dense, closed control panels, ensure the cabinet's cooling architecture maintains an air temperature below +50 degC surrounding the unit's active fan intake.

Commissioning & Wiring Tips

This basic CPU module requires a high-quality, industrial-grade CFast card to write and run the Windows 10 IoT Enterprise operating system successfully. Always select cards with high write endurance (SLC or optimized pSLC technologies) to prevent data corruption. Ensure the internal battery is checked regularly to maintain runtime clock synchronizations and persistent NOVRAM integrity during power-off periods.
