FAQ

What processor powers the BECKHOFF CX5140-0143 Embedded PC?

The BECKHOFF CX5140-0143 is powered by an Intel Atom E3845 quad-core processor operating at 1.91 GHz. This robust CPU delivers reliable processing performance for demanding industrial automation and deterministic machine control tasks. Additionally, the unit features 4 GB of non-expandable DDR3 RAM to support complex runtime environments.

How does the BECKHOFF CX5140-0143 handle I/O system connections?

The BECKHOFF CX5140-0143 features built-in support for direct connection and automatic recognition of both E-bus and K-bus terminal systems. This allows engineers to easily scale their hardware architecture using standard Beckhoff I/O terminals attached directly to the right side of the controller. The internal power supply delivers up to 2 A for these connected bus terminals.

What built-in data backup features are included in the BECKHOFF CX5140-0143?

The BECKHOFF CX5140-0143 includes an integrated 1-second UPS designed to provide persistent memory data backup during unexpected power loss events. This ensures critical process variables can be securely written to the CFast card before full system shutdown. An internal battery-backed clock also maintains accurate time and date tracking.

What are the power requirements and environmental tolerances for the BECKHOFF CX5140-0143?

The BECKHOFF CX5140-0143 requires a standard 24 V DC power supply with a permitted voltage range of -15% to +20%. The device consumes a maximum of 16 W under normal operation, or up to 23 W when actively charging the internal UPS. Furthermore, it operates reliably in ambient temperatures ranging from -25 to +60 degrees Celsius.

What communication interfaces are available on the BECKHOFF CX5140-0143?
