BECKHOFF CX1020-0100 CX1020 Series CPU Module

Description

Designed for DIN rail mounting in demanding industrial environments, the BECKHOFF CX1020-0100 basic CPU module serves as the central processing controller within the modular CX1020 Embedded PC system. This controller delivers dependable real-time execution capabilities powered by an Intel Celeron M ULV processor running at a 1 GHz clock frequency, making it suitable for PLC, Motion Control, and visualization tasks.

The unit features two integrated RJ45 Ethernet interfaces connected through an internal switch, allowing cost-effective line topologies to be constructed without additional networking hardware. Connection to Beckhoff I/O systems, such as EtherCAT Terminals (E-bus) or Bus Terminals (K-bus), is established by joining a compatible CX1100-xxxx power supply module to the CPU block. System memory is configurable, featuring a standard 256 MB DDR RAM configuration alongside a Compact Flash slot for system boot, storage, and operating system deployment.

Features

• Intel Celeron M ULV processor with a 1 GHz clock frequency.
• Integrated dual-port RJ45 Ethernet switch (10/100 Mbit/s) for simple daisy-chain networking.
• Equipped with a Compact Flash Type I/II slot featuring an eject mechanism.
• Expansion capabilities supporting up to 1 GB DDR RAM ex factory.
• Direct system bus interface (16-bit ISA PC/104) for module extension.
• Diagnostic LEDs indicating power status, network activity, TwinCAT status, and flash access.
• Battery-backed internal real-time clock for time and date synchronization.

Applications

• Industrial factory automation and manufacturing line control.
• Multi-axis Motion Control and high-speed positioning tasks.
• Process technology monitoring and visualization systems.
• Power generation and environmental control monitoring.

Installation Guidelines

• Mount the CPU module on a standard 35 mm DIN rail (EN 60715) in a horizontal orientation.
• Ensure at least 30 mm of free clearance space above and below the module for natural convection cooling.
• Power down the entire system before inserting, removing, or swapping the Compact Flash memory card.
• Verify that the slide latch mechanism to adjacent CX modules (such as the power supply module) is fully locked to ensure a reliable electrical bus connection.
