Description

The BECKHOFF CX5240-B110 is an embedded PC designed for mid-range control applications. Powered by an Intel Atom processor with 4 cores running at 1.6 GHz, this compact DIN-rail mountable controller offers high-performance capabilities within the TwinCAT 3 environment (Performance Plus platform level 50). The system provides a compact footprint for decentralized or centralized machine automation, combining processing power, communication interfaces, and direct I/O terminal connectivity into a single unit.

This embedded controller is equipped with 8 GB of internal DDR4 RAM and features dual storage interfaces, including slots for both CFast and microSD cards. To protect critical operational data during unexpected power failures, the device incorporates an integrated 1-second UPS that retains up to 1 MB of persistent data on the CFast card.

The BECKHOFF CX5240-B110 features high adaptability with an integrated I/O interface that automatically recognizes and supports both E-bus (EtherCAT) and K-bus (Bus Terminal) systems. This allows direct connection of terminal blocks without additional bus couplers, optimizing assembly space and engineering flexibility.

Features

  • Intel Atom x5-E3930 processor (1.6 GHz, 4 cores) for industrial execution speeds
  • 8 GB internal DDR4 RAM for program and system execution
  • Dual storage expansion slots supporting CFast and microSD cards
  • Integrated 1-second UPS with 1 MB persistent memory capability on CFast
  • Automatic recognition and direct connection of Beckhoff E-bus and K-bus I/O systems
  • Dual RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet ports (10/100/1000 Mbit/s) for high-speed network communication
  • Exchangeable internal battery-backed real-time clock

Applications

  • Medium-scale machine automation and manufacturing system control
  • Decentralized control installations requiring direct connection of EtherCAT or Bus Terminals
  • Industrial edge processing, data acquisition, and gateway applications
  • Modernization of legacy systems utilizing mixed K-bus and E-bus architectures

Installation Guidelines

  1. Ensure that the entire control cabinet is completely de-energized before mounting.
  2. Mount the CX5240-B110 horizontally onto a standard 35 mm DIN rail (EN 60715) ensuring adequate airflow around the cooling ribs.
  3. Insert the configured CFast and/or microSD card into their respective slots before powering up the system.
  4. Connect the 24 V DC power supply line, respecting polarity and grounding requirements.
  5. Attach the required Beckhoff E-bus or K-bus terminals directly to the right side of the unit; the system will automatically recognize the connected bus type upon startup.
  6. Verify all interface connections (Ethernet, DVI-D, and USB) are secure and routed correctly to prevent mechanical stress on the ports.
