Description
Designed for complex high-performance automation tasks, the Beckhoff CX2030-0123 CPU module serves as the central processing unit within the CX2000 Embedded PC series. This industrial controller integrates a dual-core Intel Core i7 processor and comprehensive connectivity, enabling execution of demanding PLC, motion control, and high-speed visualization applications in heavy industrial environments.
The module communicates seamlessly with standard I/O systems through its connection to a power supply module, featuring automatic recognition of E-bus (EtherCAT) and K-bus (Bus Terminals) architectures. Its passive cooling configuration reduces moving parts, enhancing overall system reliability and minimizing downtime in environments susceptible to dust or vibration.
Features
- Dual-core Intel Core i7 2610UE processor running at 1.5 GHz for highly parallel control tasks.
- Equipped with 2 GB DDR3 RAM (expandable ex factory to 4 GB) and 128 kB of integrated, non-volatile NOVRAM for persistent data retention.
- High-speed storage interfaces supporting 20 GB or 40 GB CFast flash cards depending on the installed operating system.
- Dual independent RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet ports for robust communication networking.
- Versatile physical interface suite including 4 USB 2.0 ports and a DVI-I display output.
- Flexible I/O backplane interfacing with automatic selection between EtherCAT (E-bus) and standard Bus Terminals (K-bus).
Applications
- Advanced manufacturing systems and high-precision CNC machining.
- Power generation and distribution monitoring.
- Large-scale water and wastewater treatment control.
- Complex packaging machinery and automated material handling.

Installation Guidelines
- Mount the unit on a standard 35 mm DIN rail (conforming to EN 60715).
- Ensure vertical mounting orientation to facilitate optimal thermal convection through the passive cooling vents.
- Maintain a minimum ventilation clearance of 30 mm above and below the CPU module.
- Confirm that the power supply module is securely locked to the DIN rail and properly aligned with the CPU's internal connector bus before powering on.
