Description

Industrial automation setups requiring high-performance processing utilize the CX1030-0112 basic CPU module as a central control unit within the Beckhoff Embedded PC system. This module features an Intel Pentium M processor running at 1.8 GHz, delivering considerable computing power for demanding PLC, NC PTP, or NC I motion control applications. Configured with a internal 16-bit ISA (PC/104) system bus, the module maintains robust communication capabilities with adjacent system expansion terminals.

The unit acts as the core controller, relying on compatible CX1100 power supply modules to interface with either E-bus or K-bus I/O terminal systems. Network communications are facilitated via two RJ45 ports connected through an internal switch, enabling simple daisy-chain networking topologies without external switches. To ensure operational stability under high thermal loads, the processor is fitted with an active cooling module consisting of a speed-controlled, double ball bearing fan cartridge that can be easily replaced in the field.

Features

  • Intel Pentium M processor with a clock frequency of 1.8 GHz for high-performance processing.
  • Integrated dual-port RJ45 Ethernet switch (10/100 Mbit/s) for flexible network configurations.
  • Standard Compact Flash Type I and II slot with an integrated eject mechanism for storage expansion.
  • Active, speed-regulated cooling module featuring a field-replaceable fan cartridge with double ball bearings.
  • Diagnostic LEDs on the front panel indicating power status, LAN link/activity, TwinCAT status, and flash access.
  • Integrated battery-backed real-time clock for persistent date and time tracking.

Applications

  • High-speed manufacturing and assembly lines requiring precise PLC and motion control.
  • Complex CNC machines and multi-axis positioning systems using TwinCAT NC I or NC PTP runtimes.
  • Power generation systems and renewable energy monitoring.
  • Process control systems requiring modular E-bus or K-bus I/O integration.

FAQ

Which power supply modules are compatible with the Beckhoff CX1030-0112?

The CX1030-0112 basic CPU module requires a CX1100 series power supply module, such as the CX1100-0012 (K-bus connection), CX1100-0013 (K-bus and IP-Link), or CX1100-0014 (E-bus connection).

What is the function of the internal dual RJ45 ports on the module?

The two RJ45 ports are connected via an internal switch. This allows for simple line topologies (daisy-chaining) for Fast Ethernet 10/100 Mbit/s networks without needing an external network switch.

How is the cooling system of the CX1030-0112 maintained?

The module uses active cooling featuring a speed-controlled, double ball bearing fan cartridge. The cartridge is designed for high reliability and can be easily replaced in the field if needed.
