Description

Designed for demanding PC-based control applications, the Beckhoff CX1030-0121 is a high-performance basic CPU module operating within the CX series modular industrial controller family. This unit balances computational power and reliable design, featuring an integrated Intel Pentium M processor to execute complex automation tasks, motion control, and visualization applications with high efficiency.

The module communicates over a 16-bit ISA system bus (PC/104 structure) and is integrated into terminal networks via dedicated power supply modules, supporting E-bus, K-bus, or K-bus/IP-Link interfaces. For industrial networking, it provides two RJ45 ports connected by an internal switch. Housed in a compact, IP20-rated enclosure, the module utilizes active thermal management via a field-replaceable fan cartridge to ensure reliable operation under continuous industrial loads.

Features

  • Equipped with an Intel Pentium M single-core processor running at 1.8 GHz.
  • Features 256 MB DDR RAM, expandable ex factory to 1 GB.
  • Includes an accessible Compact Flash Type I and II slot with an integrated eject mechanism for flexible storage expansion.
  • Provides a built-in 2-port RJ45 Ethernet switch (10/100 Mbit/s) for streamlined network routing.
  • Utilizes an active cooling module with a speed-controlled, double ball bearing fan cartridge for easy maintenance.
  • Integrates an internal, battery-backed real-time clock (RTC) with a user-replaceable battery.
  • Compatible with TwinCAT 2 PLC, NC PTP, and NC I control environments.

Applications

  • Complex machinery automation and manufacturing assembly lines.
  • High-speed motion control and packaging systems.
  • Power generation and heavy industrial process control.
  • Custom test benches and data acquisition infrastructure.

    Installation Guidelines

    • Mounting: Mount horizontally on standard 35 mm DIN rails (EN 60715). Ensure the locking mechanism engages securely.
    • Thermal Management: Keep ventilation slots clear. Ensure adequate clearance above and below the module to allow optimized airflow from the speed-controlled active cooling fan.
    • Power & I/O Coupling: Connection to I/O terminals (E-bus or K-bus) requires an appropriate CX1100 series power supply module connected to the left side of the CPU module.
    • Grounding: Ensure a low-impedance connection to the functional earth via the DIN rail or dedicated grounding terminals.
