Product Description

Description

Operating as a compact, DIN-rail-mountable controller, the Beckhoff CX5010-0100 serves as a core industrial embedded PC designed for high-performance automation and control tasks. Equipped with an Intel Atom Z530 single-core processor running at 1.1 GHz, this fanless hardware module provides a reliable computing engine for demanding field environments. It features direct backplane connectivity with automatic recognition of both E-bus (EtherCAT) and K-bus (standard Beckhoff Bus Terminals), facilitating seamless I/O integration within a single assembly.

The unit contains 512 MB of internal DDR2 RAM and includes a dedicated slot for a Compact Flash card, allowing for flexible program and project memory configurations. An integrated 1-second UPS reserves up to 1 MB of non-volatile persistent data on the Compact Flash card to protect system state information during sudden power failures. This particular module is shipped without a pre-installed operating system or control software, enabling engineers to deploy custom runtime environments or specialized TwinCAT control configurations.

Features

Intel Atom Z530 single-core processor running at a clock frequency of 1.1 GHz.
Automatic physical detection and support for both EtherCAT (E-bus) and Bus Terminal (K-bus) I/O architectures.
Integrated 1-second UPS utilizing a capacitor-based system to write 1 MB of persistent data to the CF card.
Diagnostic LEDs indicating Power, TwinCAT status, Flash access, and Bus communication status.
Hardware-integrated, battery-backed clock for accurate time-stamping, with an easily exchangeable battery.
Fanless structural design with no moving parts, enhancing operational longevity in high-vibration applications.

Applications

High-speed industrial PLC and motion control architectures.
Water treatment, distribution, and environmental monitoring systems.
Power generation plants and distributed renewable energy stations.
Heavy machinery, packaging lines, and conveyor-based logistics networks.

Installation Guidelines

Mount vertically on a standard 35 mm DIN rail (EN 60715) inside a protected enclosure or control cabinet.
Ensure at least 30 mm of free air space above and below the module to permit optimal natural air convection.
Avoid installing the unit directly above heat sources or inside unventilated enclosures where temperatures exceed 60 degC.
Ground the DIN rail securely to the electrical system common ground prior to landing power connections.

FAQ

Does the CX5010-0100 include a pre-installed operating system or TwinCAT runtime?

No, this specific model (CX5010-0100) is shipped without an operating system and without TwinCAT software pre-installed, allowing users to load custom environments.

How does the CX5010-0100 handle power loss?

It features an integrated 1-second UPS that uses internal hardware capacitors to supply enough power to write up to 1 MB of persistent data onto the Compact Flash card.

Can I connect both EtherCAT Terminals (EL) and Bus Terminals (KL) to this unit?

Yes. The CX5010-0100 automatically recognizes whether E-bus (EtherCAT) or K-bus (standard Bus Terminals) are attached to its right side and switches communication protocols dynamically.

What is the maximum current supply capacity for the terminal bus?

The integrated power supply unit provides up to 2 A of current to the E-bus or K-bus connection.
