Description

Designed for DIN rail mounting, the Beckhoff CX5230-0100 serves as a compact, fanless embedded PC engineered for medium-to-high demand industrial automation and control tasks. Powered by an Intel Atom x5-E3930 dual-core processor running at 1.3 GHz, this device delivers reliable processing capability without the need for active cooling components. The unit incorporates a dual-system bus interface with automatic recognition for E-bus (EtherCAT) and K-bus (Bus Terminals), allowing users to direct-wire diverse I/O terminal systems with seamless communication.

This particular hardware variant, the CX5230-0100, is supplied without a pre-installed operating system or TwinCAT software. It provides an open, highly flexible platform for developers and systems integrators requiring a customized system design or custom software configurations.

Features

Dual-core Intel Atom x5-E3930 processor (1.3 GHz) optimized for thermal efficiency.
Automatic physical terminal recognition supporting both EtherCAT Terminals (E-bus) and Bus Terminals (K-bus).
Integrated 4 GB DDR4 RAM internal memory (not user-expandable).
Equipped with dedicated slots for CFast and microSD cards (cards are not included with the standard package).
Built-in 1-second UPS providing up to 1 MB of persistent data backup to the CFast card.
Robust connectivity suite: dual RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet ports, 1 DVI-D port, and 4 USB 3.0 interfaces.

Applications

Industrial manufacturing execution systems and visualization nodes.
Process control systems in oil and gas, chemical processing, and water purification facilities.
Power plant substation control and machinery instrumentation.
Custom control logic deployments requiring specialized non-Windows/non-TwinCAT runtimes.

Installation Guidelines

Mounting: Mount the device on a standard 35 mm DIN rail (EN 60715) horizontally.
Ventilation: Keep at least 30 mm of free space above and below the device to ensure passive convection cooling. Do not cover cooling slots.
Grounding: Ensure the DIN rail is correctly grounded to a low-impedance earth ground path. Connect the system ground pin securely.
Environmental Protection: Since the unit has an IP20 protection rating, it must be installed inside an enclosure or control cabinet that meets the appropriate IP rating for the operational environment.

FAQ

Does the CX5230-0100 come with a pre-installed operating system?

No. The CX5230-0100 configuration is shipped as hardware only, without any operating system or TwinCAT runtime software installed.

What type of I/O terminals can be connected to this Beckhoff embedded PC?

The CX5230-0100 features automatic bus detection, allowing direct connection and operation of both Beckhoff K-bus (standard Bus Terminals) and E-bus (EtherCAT Terminals).

Are storage cards included with the device?

No. The CFast and microSD memory cards must be ordered separately as they are not included in the standard delivery package.

What is the function of the integrated 1-second UPS?

The 1-second UPS uses integrated capacitive backup to write up to 1 MB of persistent data to the CFast card in the event of an unexpected 24 V DC power interruption.
