Product Description

Description

Industrial automation environments requiring robust, fanless computing in a compact DIN-rail form factor utilize the Beckhoff CX5020-0100 embedded PC. This high-performance industrial controller features an Intel Atom Z530 processor running at 1.6 GHz, providing deterministic execution of PLC, Motion Control, and HMI tasks. Configured as a high-reliability CPU module, the device is engineered with an automatic recognition layer that seamlessly interfaces with either EtherCAT Terminals (E-bus) or standard Bus Terminals (K-bus).

The unit features an integrated, hardware-based 1-second UPS that ensures critical persistent data is safely written to the active Compact Flash memory card during sudden power losses. With a diverse physical interface layout and a ruggedized IP20-rated housing, this embedded PC acts as a centralized processing station for demanding decentralized control topologies.

Features

  • Equipped with an Intel Atom Z530 1.6 GHz single-core processor.
  • Features dual independent RJ45 gigabit Ethernet interfaces supporting 10/100/1000 Mbit/s rates.
  • Provides automatic sensing and integration for E-bus (EtherCAT) and K-bus (Bus Terminal) local I/O segments.
  • Contains an integrated 1-second UPS to safeguard up to 1 MB of persistent data.
  • Supports fanless operation across an extended operational temperature range.
  • Includes four USB 2.0 ports and a DVI-D video connection for direct peripheral and HMI interfacing.

Applications

  • Centralized PLC and motion control in machinery manufacturing.
  • Process control and data acquisition in water and wastewater systems.
  • Power generation monitoring and substation automation.
  • Decentralized control nodes in material handling and logistics pipelines.

Installation Guidelines

  • Mounting: Snap-on mounting via standard 35 mm DIN rail (EN 60715). Ensure the device is mounted vertically to allow passive convective cooling.
  • Spacing: Maintain a minimum clearance of 30 mm above and below the module for unhindered air circulation.
  • Grounding: Connect the ground connection point directly to the low-impedance functional earth system.
  • Wiring: Route power lines separately from communication and I/O signal cables to mitigate high-frequency electromagnetic interference.

Compliance and Certifications

  • CE
  • UL
  • ATEX (Certified II 3 G Ex nA IIC T4 Gc when configured with CX1900-0105 ordering option)
Shipping & Returns

Global Express Shipping

  • Standard Delivery: 4–6 business days via DHL, FedEx, and UPS.
