Product Description

Description

The BECKHOFF CX5010-N020 is a compact, DIN-rail-mountable Embedded PC designed for reliable industrial automation and control tasks. Powered by an energy-efficient Intel Atom processor, this controller offers a low-power hardware platform suitable for modern control cabinet architectures where space and thermal management are critical. This specific version features the N020 hardware option, expanding the baseline processor unit with dedicated audio interfaces.

By incorporating the N020 option, the BECKHOFF CX5010-N020 is capable of handling complex multimedia or diagnostic acoustic signals directly from the controller. This integration eliminates the need for separate audio converters, allowing developers to route system warnings, operator voice prompts, or interactive HMI audio responses directly through the main CPU module.

Built for industrial environments, this controller seamlessly interfaces with BECKHOFF I/O systems to handle PLC, Motion Control, and visualization software tasks. The robust enclosure and passive cooling design ensure a long operational lifespan with minimal maintenance requirements.

Features

  • Intel Atom processor-based architecture optimized for performance-to-power efficiency.
  • Integrated N020 audio option providing onboard sound capabilities.
  • Three 3.5 mm jack sockets configurable for multi-channel routing.
  • Support for Line In, Mic In, and Line Out, or 5.1 Surround sound configurations.
  • DIN-rail mounting design for clean, standard installation in electrical cabinets.
  • Modular hardware expansion capability compatible with BECKHOFF bus terminals and EtherCAT terminals.

Applications

  • Acoustic alarm and voice guidance systems in manufacturing facilities.
  • Interactive operator panels and industrial HMI enclosures with voice intercom requirements.
  • Audio-guided diagnostic and testing stations in assembly lines.
  • General machine automation systems requiring a compact, DIN-rail control processor.

Technical Specifications

Parameter Specification
Manufacturer BECKHOFF
Model CX5010-N020
Product Type Embedded PC
Processor Intel Atom® processor
Audio Interface Option N020 (3 x 3.5 mm jack sockets)
Audio Signal Modes Line In, Mic In, Line Out, or 5.1 Surround
Mounting Method 35 mm DIN rail

Connections / Interfaces

Interface Function
3.5 mm Jack Socket 1 Line Input / Multi-channel Audio Output
3.5 mm Jack Socket 2 Microphone Input / Multi-channel Audio Output
3.5 mm Jack Socket 3 Line Output / Multi-channel Audio Output (5.1 Surround)

Installation Guidelines

  1. Ensure that the main power supply is completely disconnected before mounting, wiring, or servicing the controller.
  2. Inspect the physical unit to verify that the exact model number is BECKHOFF CX5010-N020.
  3. Mount the unit onto a standard 35 mm DIN rail inside a dry, clean electrical cabinet, ensuring natural air convection cooling is not blocked.
  4. Connect the system ground directly to the DIN rail to ensure stable operation and proper shield termination.
  5. Plug compatible audio devices into the correct 3.5 mm jack sockets using high-quality shielded cabling to prevent noise coupling in industrial environments.
  6. Configure the operating system and relevant TwinCAT software drivers to define the audio port roles (Stereo vs. 5.1 Surround) prior to system commissioning.
