Description

Engineered for high-performance automation and control applications, the CX5130-N031-0001 is a robust DIN rail-mountable embedded PC powered by an Intel Atom® processor. This controller combines processing power with versatile connectivity, making it ideal for medium-scale PLC, motion control, and visualization tasks within the Beckhoff TwinCAT environment.

This specific hardware variant integrates the N031 interface option, providing a dedicated RS485 serial communication port. The interface is configured as an end point, complete with internal echo support and active line termination. Utilizing a standard 9-pin D-sub connection, this unit allows direct integration with legacy industrial protocols, field devices, and serial networks without requiring external protocol converters.

Features

  • Equipped with an Intel Atom® multi-core processor for power-efficient computing.
  • Integrated N031 optional interface providing an RS485 serial port.
  • Robust 9-pin D-sub socket mechanical interface.
  • Factory-configured as a bus end point with echo and enabled line termination.
  • Direct DIN rail mounting design for space-saving control cabinet integration.
  • Seamless compatibility with Beckhoff I/O systems (EtherCAT Terminals and Bus Terminals).

Applications

  • Factory automation and centralized PLC systems.
  • Process engineering and distributed control networks.
  • Machine building, packaging, and materials handling systems.
  • SCADA gateway applications requiring serial-to-Ethernet bridging.
