Product Description

Description

The BECKHOFF CX5020-0110 is a DIN-rail-mountable Embedded PC designed for low-to-medium performance industrial control and automation tasks. Equipped with an Intel Atom Z530 processor running at 1.6 GHz, this modular controller integrates the central processing unit, power supply, and direct I/O interfaces within a single compact housing. It is engineered to deliver reliable automation control for systems requiring precise real-time operations.

A key capability of the BECKHOFF CX5020-0110 is its dual-bus system integration. The hardware automatically detects and interfaces with either K-bus (standard Bus Terminals) or E-bus (high-speed EtherCAT Terminals) connection technologies on the right-hand side, providing immense flexibility when scaling or configuring local I/O configurations. The integrated 1-second UPS ensures that up to 1 MB of critical persistent application data is written to the Compact Flash card in the event of an unexpected power failure.

For communication and expansion, the module features dual independent Gigabit Ethernet ports, four USB 2.0 ports, a DVI-D video output, and a dedicated slot for an optional interface module. This allows the controller to adapt to specific fieldbus protocols or additional communication networks while maintaining a highly compact physical footprint on the DIN rail.

Features

  • Intel Atom Z530 processor (1.6 GHz clock frequency, single-core execution)
  • Automatic recognition and hardware-level switching between E-bus (EtherCAT) and K-bus (Bus Terminals)
  • Integrated 1-second UPS for up to 1 MB of persistent data preservation on the Compact Flash card
  • Two independent RJ45 10/100/1000 Mbit/s Ethernet interfaces for high-speed networking and integration
  • Compact Flash card slot for persistent storage and operating system files, equipped with a 128 MB card
  • Internal exchangeable battery-backed clock for precise system date and time synchronization
  • Built-in diagnostic LEDs for power, TwinCAT status, flash card access, and bus communication statuses

Applications

  • Modular machine control systems utilizing localized E-bus or K-bus I/O layouts
  • Distributed industrial networks requiring localized TwinCAT runtime control
  • Process monitoring and edge-computing applications with DVI-D diagnostic display setups
  • Embedded automation environments subject to extended operating temperatures from -25 to +60 degC

Installation Guidelines

  1. Ensure that the power supply to the entire control cabinet is completely de-energized before mounting, removing, or wiring the controller.
  2. Position the controller on a standard 35 mm DIN rail (EN 60715) with vertical mounting orientation to facilitate proper convective cooling airflow.
  3. Verify that the external DC power supply aligns with the 24 V DC requirements, incorporating proper terminal polarity and wire routing.
  4. Secure functional grounding (PE) connections to the DIN rail or backplate to ensure stable electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) performance.
  5. Insert terminal modules (E-bus or K-bus) into the right-hand interface slot. The unit will automatically detect the terminal platform on initial startup boot sequences.
