BECKHOFF CX1010-0100 Basic Embedded PC CPU Module

Description

The BECKHOFF CX1010-0100 is a basic CPU module designed for the modular CX1010 Embedded PC system. Equipped with a 500 MHz Intel Pentium MMX-compatible processor, this hardware unit provides fanless execution of industrial control, monitoring, and communication tasks. As the computational core of the CX1010 assembly, it must be paired with a compatible CX1100 power supply module to draw power and connect directly to I/O bus systems.

This specific hardware variant, the CX1010-0100, is supplied without a pre-installed operating system or TwinCAT software runtime. This open architecture makes it suitable for customized runtime platforms, dedicated control applications, or setups where licenses are administered separately. System status and connectivity are managed locally via diagnostic LEDs and a single 10/100 Mbit/s RJ45 Ethernet port.

The module includes 256 MB of non-expandable internal DDR RAM and features an external Compact Flash Type II slot. A 128 MB Compact Flash card is included to serve as the boot and storage drive, allowing easy replacement or capacity upgrades when required by the application.

Features

• Fanless, compact design optimized for DIN rail mounting.
• Intel Pentium MMX-compatible processor running at 500 MHz.
• Compact Flash Type II card slot with integrated ejector for storage media.
• Single RJ45 Ethernet port supporting speeds of 10/100 Mbit/s.
• Local diagnostics LEDs for power, network activity, network speed, software status, and flash access.
• Integrated real-time clock, backed by an exchangeable internal battery.

Applications

• Decentralized control installations requiring custom software environments.
• Industrial communication gateways and data logging systems.
• Machine automation setups utilizing passive K-bus or E-bus I/O terminals via a connected power supply module.
• Retrofitting and maintenance of existing CX1010 series control cabinets.

Installation Guidelines

1. Ensure all power sources to the cabinet, particularly the CX1100 power supply module, are de-energized before beginning installation.
2. Inspect the module for physical damage or contaminants on the system bus connectors.
3. Mount the module on a standard 35 mm DIN rail (EN 60715) alongside the required CX1100 power supply unit.
4. Slide the CPU module onto the DIN rail and guide the side connectors carefully together until the system bus latch snaps and forms a connection with the power supply.
5. Ensure the 128 MB Compact Flash card is firmly seated and latched in the designated side slot.
6. Connect the network interface utilizing standard industrial-grade RJ45 cabling.
7. Apply system power and verify system health via the local diagnostic LEDs.
