Description

Efficient control of decentralized PLC and motion applications is highly optimized using the CX5020-0122 control system. This DIN rail-mountable embedded PC integrates an Intel Atom Z530 processor running at a 1.6 GHz clock frequency, striking an ideal balance between low power dissipation and high-speed execution. Equipped with dual-bus compatibility, this module automatically detects and interfaces with both Beckhoff K-bus (standard Bus Terminals) and E-bus (high-speed EtherCAT Terminals).

The unit features robust storage and memory options, including a dedicated Compact Flash slot, 512 MB of system RAM, and an integrated 1-second UPS to protect up to 1 MB of critical persistent data in the event of power failures. High-speed communication is facilitated by dual independent Gigabit Ethernet ports, multiple USB 2.0 ports, and a DVI-D graphic output interface for direct visualization capabilities. The combination of its rugged construction and fanless architecture makes it suitable for demanding industrial processing environments.

Features

  • Intel Atom Z530 1.6 GHz single-core processor for efficient control operations.
  • Automatic physical bus recognition supporting both E-bus (EtherCAT) and K-bus (Bus Terminals).
  • Integrated 1-second UPS for reliable backup of up to 1 MB of persistent data.
  • Modular expansion options via a configurable optional communication interface.
  • Industrial-grade fanless housing with compact mechanical footprint.

Applications

  • Wind power generation control systems.
  • High-speed packaging and manufacturing lines.
  • Decentralized process control and telemetry stations.
  • Building automation and building management system (BMS) visualization.

Installation Guidelines

  • Mounting: Mount horizontally on a standard 35 mm DIN rail (EN 60715). Ensure the mounting clip clicks securely into place.
  • Ventilation: Maintain at least 30 mm of free clearance above and below the module to facilitate natural convection cooling. Do not cover housing vents.
  • Grounding: Use the integrated PE contact on the power supply terminal block to establish a low-impedance connection to the functional earth of the control cabinet.
  • Wiring: Route communication cables and standard 24 V DC power lines separately to minimize EMI interference.

Compliance and Certifications

  • CE
  • UL
  • ATEX (Group II, Category 3, Gas: II 3 G Ex nA IIC T4 Gc - *requires CX1900-0105 ordering option*)
