Beckhoff CX5130-0111 CPU Module

Description

Designed for demanding automation tasks, the CX5130-0111 serves as a high-performance embedded PC CPU module within the Beckhoff CX series ecosystem. Engineered with an Intel Atom E3827 dual-core processor operating at a clock speed of 1.75 GHz, this unit delivers robust computational power for mid-to-high-level PLC, motion control, and visualization applications. It integrates seamless communication interfaces and supports automatic recognition of either E-bus (EtherCAT) or K-bus (Bus Terminal) I/O systems, making it highly versatile for various hardware configurations.

This controller incorporates an integrated 1-second UPS to safeguard critical system data on the CFast card in the event of power interruption. Equipped with dual independent Gigabit Ethernet ports, USB 2.0 interfaces, and a DVI-I graphics port, the module provides substantial flexibility for system networking, peripheral integration, and human-machine interface configurations. Its robust design features fanless convection cooling, enabling reliable continuous operation in challenging industrial environments.
