The CX5140-0122 is a quad-core alternative to the dual-core CX5130 series. It operates at TwinCAT 3 Platform Level 50 (Performance Plus), meaning any licenses transferred from lower-tier controllers (such as Level 40 Economy Plus units) must be upgraded to match this platform level. It maintains physical and electrical backplane compatibility with existing CX5010 and CX5020 installations, though software configurations must account for the updated Intel Atom E3845 architecture.
Thermal Management: Although fanless, the CX5140-0122 relies on natural convection. It must be mounted vertically on a horizontal DIN rail. Maintaining a minimum clearance of 30 mm above and below the unit is mandatory to prevent thermal throttling when operating near the upper limit of 60 degC.
UPS Functionality: The integrated 1-second UPS requires a functional internal capacitive storage system. This UPS is designed solely to write persistent data (up to 1 MB) to the CFast card during a power loss event; it is not a system-level runtime UPS. Ensure the TwinCAT boot project is configured to trigger the write routine on power loss.
When wiring the 24 V DC power supply, ensure the supply line is fused externally. The E-bus/K-bus auto-detection occurs during the initial boot phase. If changing terminal types (e.g., swapping K-bus terminals for EtherCAT E-bus terminals), a full system cold restart is required for the controller to re-map the physical backplane interface. Ensure the total current draw of connected terminals does not exceed the 2 A backplane limit; if exceeded, a power supply terminal (e.g., CX2100-0xxx) must be integrated.
Mount the CX5140-0122 onto a standard 35 mm DIN rail (EN 60715) by hooking the top of the mounting clip over the rail and pressing down until it snaps securely into place.
Connect the functional ground (PE) wire directly to the grounding terminal of the power supply connector to ensure proper EMC shielding and noise immunity.
Insert a compatible, industrially rated CFast card containing the operating system and TwinCAT runtime into the designated slot before applying power.
Connect the 24 V DC power cables to the terminal block, verifying correct polarity, and power on the system to initiate the automatic I/O bus scan.
