Product Description

Description

Engineered for high-reliability industrial control applications, the Beckhoff CX5120-0110 is a fanless, compact embedded personal computer designed for direct DIN rail mounting. This controller integrates a power-efficient Intel Atom E3815 single-core processor running at 1.46 GHz, providing stable performance for entry-to-mid-tier automation tasks without active cooling components.

The unit features 2 GB of non-expandable DDR3 RAM and provides storage options through dual onboard CFast and microSD card slots. Equipped with an integrated 1-second UPS, the CX5120-0110 secures 1 MB of persistent data on the CFast card in the event of a sudden power loss, preventing critical system state corruption. Its hardware interface is highly versatile, featuring dual independent RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet ports, a DVI-D display connector, and four USB 2.0 ports. For direct connection to physical inputs and outputs, the module automatically identifies and communicates with either EtherCAT Terminals (E-bus) or standard Bus Terminals (K-bus) connected to the backplane.

Features

  • Efficient Intel Atom E3815 single-core processor (1.46 GHz) with ultra-low thermal dissipation.
  • Auto-detecting backplane interface supporting both Beckhoff E-bus and K-bus terminal systems.
  • Integrated hardware 1-second UPS utilizing 1 MB of non-volatile memory to safeguard active process variables.
  • Dual 10/100/1000 Mbit/s Gigabit Ethernet interfaces for network segregation or daisy-chain topologies.
  • Four external USB 2.0 ports and a dedicated DVI-D visual interface for operator panel integration.
  • Robust passive cooling system housed in a compact, vibration-resistant IP20 enclosure.

Applications

  • Distributed factory automation systems.
  • Machine-to-machine (M2M) communication gate-keeping.
  • Medium-scale packaging and material handling machinery.
  • Remote telemetry and infrastructure monitoring.
  • Building automation and environmental control systems.

FAQ
What operating system is installed on the Beckhoff CX5120-0110?
The CX5120-0110 comes pre-installed with the Microsoft Windows Embedded Compact 7 operating system.
Does this embedded PC come with TwinCAT runtime software?
No, this specific hardware configuration (CX5120-0110) does not include a pre-installed TwinCAT runtime environment. It is ready for custom software installations or target platform deployment.
How does the integrated 1-second UPS protect system data?
The built-in 1-second UPS utilizes capacitive energy storage to keep the controller running long enough to write up to 1 MB of critical persistent variables directly onto the inserted CFast storage card during a power outage.
Are the CFast and microSD memory cards included in the package?
No, the CFast and microSD cards must be ordered separately as they are not included in the standard delivery scope of the CX5120-0110 module.
Can I connect both EtherCAT Terminals and standard Bus Terminals to this device?
Yes, the controller’s backplane interface automatically recognizes and adapts to either Beckhoff E-bus (EtherCAT) or K-bus (standard Bus Terminals) systems depending on the connected terminal block.
