BECKHOFF CX1020-0000 Embedded PC CPU Module

Description

The BECKHOFF CX1020-0000 is a high-performance CPU module designed for the modular CX Embedded PC series. Equipped with an Intel Celeron M ULV processor running at a clock frequency of 1 GHz, this central processing unit offers reliable computational power for demanding industrial automation, control, and visualization tasks. It functions as the core processing engine within a modular CX stack, facilitating connection with power supplies, communication interfaces, and extensive fieldbus configurations.

System communication and I/O expansion are managed using the integrated 16-bit ISA system bus based on the PC/104 standard. The module is configured with dual RJ45 Ethernet ports linked via an internal network switch, enabling efficient line topology wiring without requiring additional external switches. System diagnostics are supported by direct LED indicators displaying status for power, local network connectivity, TwinCAT operating status, and flash storage access.

Features

• Intel Celeron M ULV processor operating at a high-efficiency 1 GHz clock speed
• Integrated 16-bit ISA system bus (PC/104 format) for modular system expansion
• Dual 10/100 Mbit/s RJ45 Ethernet interfaces with an integrated internal switch
• Compact Flash Type I and II slot with an integrated manual eject mechanism for easy media replacement
• Internal battery-backed real-time clock for system date and time retention
• Diagnostic LEDs indicating operational status for power, LAN link/activity, TwinCAT, and flash access

Applications

• Central control units within medium-to-large machine automation systems
• Programmable logic controller (PLC) and motion control configurations under TwinCAT runtime environments
• Decentralized control architectures requiring standard DIN rail mounting and fieldbus connectivity
• Industrial Ethernet networking nodes utilizing line topology wiring

Installation Guidelines

1. Ensure the power supply is completely disconnected and locked out before starting installation or assembly procedures.
2. Mount the CX1020-0000 CPU module onto a horizontally aligned 35 mm DIN rail (EN 60715) within an IP54 or other protective enclosure suited to the application.
3. Slide the CPU module laterally along the DIN rail until the side-mounted PC/104 system bus connector engages with the adjacent CX1100-xxxx power supply module.
4. Lock the modular assembly securely onto the DIN rail using the integrated locking clips on the housing.
5. Insert a compatible, configured Compact Flash memory card into the flash card slot before powering the system.
6. Connect standard category network cables to the dual RJ45 Ethernet ports, avoiding tight bends or mechanical tension on the connectors.
7. Energize the system and monitor the diagnostic status LEDs on the front panel to verify proper startup and system initialization.
