Product Description

Description

Real-time industrial automation demands robust, fanless hardware execution, which the Beckhoff CX5010-N031-0001 DIN-rail mountable Embedded PC delivers through its integrated Intel Atom Z510 processor. Operating at a clock frequency of 1.1 GHz, this energy-efficient controller unifies PLC, Motion Control, and visualization tasks within a compact, rugged housing. Designed for direct DIN-rail mounting, it acts as a high-performance central processing unit for decentralized machine control systems.

The hardware architecture features automatic detection for both E-bus (EtherCAT Terminals) and K-bus (standard Bus Terminals), facilitating direct connection to modular I/O systems without additional couplers. This specific configuration includes the N031 optional interface, which equips the controller with a dedicated RS422/RS485 serial communication port. Reliable execution is secured by 512 MB of non-expandable RAM, a modular Compact Flash card slot, and an integrated 1-second UPS to safeguard critical persistent variables during power anomalies.

Features

Single-core Intel Atom Z510 processor (1.1 GHz clock frequency) optimized for deterministic control tasks.
Integrated RS422/RS485 interface (N031 option) supporting point-to-point and multi-drop serial communications.
Dual independent RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet ports (10/100/1000 Mbit/s) for network segmentation and IT integration.
Four USB 2.0 external interfaces for peripheral connections and diagnostic devices.
Automatic physical bus recognition, enabling hybrid architectures with E-bus and K-bus terminals.
Passive cooling design with no rotating parts to extend mean time between failures (MTBF).
Integrated 1-second UPS utilizing 1 MB of dedicated space on the Compact Flash card for persistent data storage.

Applications

Decentralized factory automation and specialized machinery assembly lines.
Process control systems in wastewater treatment, chemical injection, and power generation.
Building automation, HVAC control, and infrastructure monitoring networks.
Wind turbine pitch and yaw control systems requiring high-speed serial and fieldbus processing.

Installation Guidelines

Mounting: Attach to a standard 35 mm DIN rail (EN 60715). Ensure the locking mechanism engages securely.
Spacing: Maintain a minimum clearance of 30 mm above and below the device to permit passive, convection cooling.
Grounding: Connect the low-impedance functional ground wire to the designated terminal on the power supply module.
Wiring: Route the 24 V DC supply cables separately from high-voltage AC power lines to prevent electromagnetic coupling.

FAQ

What does the -N031 suffix represent on the Beckhoff CX5010-N031-0001?

The N031 suffix indicates that this Embedded PC features an integrated, factory-configured RS422/RS485 serial port on a 9-pin D-sub connector.

Can this Embedded PC support both EtherCAT and standard Bus Terminals?

Yes, the CX5010-N031-0001 features automatic bus recognition. It can dynamically detect and interface with either E-bus (EtherCAT) or K-bus (standard) I/O terminals connected to its right side.

How does the integrated 1-second UPS work?

The integrated 1-second UPS uses residual energy from the power supply unit to save up to 1 MB of persistent data onto the Compact Flash card immediately upon power loss, preventing data corruption.

Is the Compact Flash card required for operation?

Yes, because the CX5010 does not have an internal hard drive, the operating system, control runtimes (TwinCAT), and user projects are stored and run from the Compact Flash card.
