Product Description

Description

Designed for high-performance automation tasks requiring multi-core processing power, the Beckhoff CX2030-0130 serves as a robust Embedded PC basic CPU module within the CX modular controller series. Featuring an Intel Core i7 2610UE processor running at 1.5 GHz, this dual-core module delivers exceptional computational throughput for complex TwinCAT control algorithms, visualization tasks, and motion control applications. It interfaces directly with modular I/O systems using automatic recognition of E-bus or K-bus communication, making it highly versatile for demanding industrial environments.

Features

  • Dual-core Intel Core i7 processor operating at 1.5 GHz.
  • Integrated 2 GB DDR3 RAM, offering high-speed volatile data access.
  • Built-in 128 kB NOVRAM for secure, non-volatile retention of critical variables.
  • Dual independent RJ45 gigabit ports (10/100/1000 Mbit/s) for network segmentation.
  • Direct video output via an integrated DVI-I interface.
  • Four USB 2.0 ports and one option slot for modular expansion interfaces.
  • Automatic physical I/O recognition supporting both EtherCAT Terminals (E-bus) and Bus Terminals (K-bus).

Applications

  • High-speed manufacturing and packaging machinery control.
  • Multi-axis coordinated motion control and robotics.
  • Centralized building automation system controllers.
  • Process control systems requiring localized high-capacity data processing.
  • Industrial IoT gateways and edge computing applications.

Empirical Engineering Insights

Alternative Models & Compatibility

The CX2030-0130 is positioned in the mid-high range of the CX modular family. System integrators should note that this unit requires a CX2100 series power supply module for direct power and bus interface capabilities. When replacing older single-core CX series systems, ensure that your TwinCAT licenses are migrated to Platform Level 60 (Mid Performance Plus) to accommodate the core licensing architecture of this dual-core processor.

Application Pitfalls & Engineering Notes

While the module features passive cooling as standard, thermal management is heavily dependent on ambient cabinet ventilation. In closed control panels with high heat dissipation components, ensure that the minimum mounting clearances of 30 mm above and below the module are maintained. Avoid configuring real-time cyclic tasks on both cores simultaneously without proper core isolation configuration in TwinCAT; dedicate Core 0 to general OS operations and Core 1 to real-time execution loops to prevent jitter and cycle overflows.

Commissioning & Wiring Tips

Always insert or remove the CFast card while the module is completely powered off to prevent file system corruption on the flash media. For industrial network setups with high EMC interference, route the dual RJ45 Ethernet cables separately from power wiring and use double-shielded (SF/UTP) CAT6 cabling. Grounding must be established securely via the DIN rail connection and the ground terminal on the companion power supply module.

Installation Guidelines

CRITICAL WARNING: Ensure all power to the main control panel and auxiliary power feeds is completely de-energized and locked out before attempting physical installation or electrical termination of this CPU module. Verify that the system's power supplies have completely discharged their internal capacitors to avoid damage to sensitive CMOS components.
1
Align the CPU module and the CX power supply module, snapping them together via the integrated side connector before mounting them on the rail.
2
Snap the assembled unit firmly onto a clean, grounded 35 mm DIN rail (EN 60715) and secure it with appropriate end brackets.
3
Connect the communication and I/O lines (DVI, USB, RJ45) before running the 24 V DC power wiring to the terminal block of the power supply module.

FAQ
What is the TwinCAT 3 platform level for this CPU module?
The CX2030-0130 operates at TwinCAT 3 Platform Level 60 (Mid Performance Plus). Ensure all runtime licenses are matching this level.
Does this module support both EtherCAT and standard Bus Terminals?
Yes. It supports direct connection to E-bus (EtherCAT Terminals) and K-bus (standard Bus Terminals) via an attached CX series power supply module, which performs automatic recognition of the terminal bus type.
What happens to process data during an unexpected power interruption?
This module features 128 kB of integrated non-volatile NOVRAM memory which automatically retains critical control variable states without requiring battery-backed UPS setups.
Is the system passive or active cooled?
The CPU module uses high-efficiency passive cooling as standard. Active fan cooling can be configured ex factory if operation in high-temperature environments is required.
