BECKHOFF CX1010-0011 Basic CPU Module

Description

The BECKHOFF CX1010-0011 is a basic CPU module belonging to the modular CX1010 Embedded PC series. Designed for standard DIN rail mounting, this processing unit serves as the core controller for medium-scale automation tasks and PLC applications. It is powered by an Intel Pentium MMX-compatible processor operating at a clock frequency of 500 MHz, offering stable, energy-efficient performance for localized industrial control environments.

This module is equipped with 256 MB of integrated, non-expandable DDR RAM and features a built-in Compact Flash Type II slot, which includes a 128 MB Compact Flash card for system software and user files. It runs on the Microsoft Windows Embedded CE 6.0 operating system and is pre-installed with TwinCAT 2 PLC runtime control software. Device communication and networking are facilitated via an onboard RJ45 Ethernet interface supporting 10/100 Mbit/s transmission rates.

To establish a functional control system, the BECKHOFF CX1010-0011 must be mechanically and electrically coupled with a compatible CX1100-xxxx series power supply module. The power supply module supplies operating power through the internal system bus (16-bit ISA / PC104 interface) and provides the gateway connection to E-bus (EtherCAT) or K-bus (Bus Terminal) I/O systems.

Installation Guidelines

1. Verify that the hardware revision and configuration of the BECKHOFF CX1010-0011 match your control system's design documentation.
2. Ensure all power sources are completely disconnected and locked out before starting installation or maintenance.
3. Mount the CPU module onto a standard 35 mm DIN rail (EN 60715) alongside a compatible CX1100-xxxx power supply module.
4. Securely lock the modules together using the integrated locking mechanism to establish electrical contact through the system bus.
5. Insert the pre-configured Compact Flash card into the integrated slot before powering on the device.
6. Connect the RJ45 Ethernet cable to the network port for programming or control communications.
7. Apply power via the connected CX1100 power supply module and verify system initialization through the diagnostic LEDs.
