Beckhoff CX2030-0142 CX2000 Series CPU Module

Description

Industrial processing and high-speed control tasks are efficiently managed using the CX2030-0142 embedded PC CPU module. Engineered by Beckhoff for the CX2000 series, this high-performance controller features an Intel Core i7 dual-core processor running at 1.5 GHz. Designed without moving parts under standard configurations, it utilizes passive cooling to ensure reliability in challenging operating environments.

The unit acts as the central processor for the modular DIN-rail mounted control system, facilitating high-speed data acquisition and processing. Through a connected power supply module, the CX2030-0142 automatically detects and communicates with either E-bus (EtherCAT) or K-bus (standard bus terminal) I/O systems. This dual compatibility offers flexible integration options for retrofits and modern EtherCAT installations alike.

Features

• Intel Core i7 Dual-Core Processor: Delivers robust processing capabilities for complex PLC, motion control, and visualization applications.
• Modular Dynamic Bus Recognition: Auto-detects and switches between EtherCAT (E-bus) and Bus Terminal (K-bus) architectures.
• Flexible Operating System Support: Fully compatible with Windows Embedded Compact 7, Windows Embedded Standard 7 P, Windows 10 IoT Enterprise, and TwinCAT/BSD.
• Non-Volatile Storage: Integrated 128 kB NOVRAM guarantees secure storage of persistent operational variables during sudden power interruptions.
• Gigabit Ethernet Interfaces: Dual independent RJ45 interfaces allow logical isolation between control networks and IT/management systems.

Applications

• Complex motion control and robotic path planning.
• Central controller for process automation and manufacturing lines.
• Data gateway and edge-computing node in modern industrial IoT networks.
• Renewable energy systems, including wind turbine pitch and yaw control systems.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• DIN Rail Mounting: Securely snap the module onto a standard 35 mm DIN rail (EN 60715). Ensure the mounting position is horizontal to optimize passive convective cooling airflow.
• Thermal Clearances: Maintain at least 30 mm of free space above and below the device to prevent thermal congestion.
• Power Supply Connection: Connect through a compatible power supply module (such as CX2100 series). Ensure the 24 V DC supply is filtered and within specified tolerance limits.
• Shielding and Grounding: Ensure the DIN rail has a low-impedance connection to the central functional earth terminal of the control cabinet.
