Beckhoff CX2100-0014 CX20xx Power Supply Unit

Description

Designed as a dedicated system power component, the Beckhoff CX2100-0014 supplies power to CX20xx series Embedded PCs while interfacing directly with digital I/O expansion systems. This high-efficiency power supply unit automatically detects and manages connections for both E-bus (EtherCAT) and K-bus (Bus Terminal) communication systems, establishing a flexible link for modular automation setups. Delivering a continuous current of up to 2 A to the backplane, it ensures reliable I/O module operation without performance degradation.

The unit features an integrated, illuminated FSTN display boasting 2 lines of 16 characters. This user-accessible display is optimized for real-time diagnostics, system status feedback, and custom message readouts. The physical installation is simplified through a compact housing using spring-loaded connection terminal technology, engineered to withstand continuous vibration and shock in industrial control cabinets.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Mounting: Mount securely onto a 35 mm DIN rail (EN 60715) within an enclosed control cabinet.
• Orientation: Install vertically to promote natural convection and comply with ambient operating temperature specifications.
• Wiring: Use the dedicated spring-loaded terminal adapters. Strip wires according to standard electrical guidelines and insert directly into the terminal clamping points.
• Grounding: Ensure the DIN rail is properly grounded to the cabinet's protective earth (PE) busbar to optimize EMC immunity.
