Beckhoff CX5130-0113 CX5100 Series CPU Module

Description

Designed for medium-scale automation tasks, the Beckhoff CX5130-0113 represents a high-performance industrial controller within the CX5100 Embedded PC series. This DIN-rail mountable hardware unit features an Intel Atom E3827 dual-core processor operating at 1.75 GHz, providing efficient processing capability combined with low power requirements. The controller acts as a central processing unit capable of managing complex PLC, Motion Control, and visualization systems directly on the DIN rail.

The unit features integrated interfaces including dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, USB 2.0 connections, and a DVI-I display output for local HMI. The CX5130-0113 is built with an automatic bus recognition interface, allowing direct connection to either Beckhoff E-bus (EtherCAT) or K-bus (standard Bus Terminal) I/O systems. An integrated 1-second uninterruptible power supply (UPS) secures up to 1 MB of persistent data on a CFast card to protect critical system variables in the event of a power failure.

Features

• Equipped with an Intel Atom E3827 dual-core processor (1.75 GHz) for reliable multi-tasking industrial control.
• Features 4 GB DDR3 RAM as system main memory.
• Provides independent slots for CFast cards and microSD cards (media not included).
• Equipped with a hardware-integrated 1-second UPS (saves up to 1 MB of persistent data onto the CFast card).
• Two independent 10/100/1000 Mbit/s RJ45 Ethernet ports enable network segmentation and optimal communication throughput.
• Automatic physical bus detection for flexible implementation of E-bus (EtherCAT Terminals) and K-bus (Bus Terminals).
• Convection cooling architecture design without internal fans for reduced wear and long-term maintenance-free operation.

Applications

• Centralized control for medium-scale manufacturing machinery and continuous processing lines.
• Embedded monitoring and data logging in energy distribution networks and power generation plants.
• Process control and system integration within industrial water and wastewater treatment facilities.
• Infrastructure automation, including HVAC and environmental control systems in high-availability environments.

Installation Guidelines

• Mounting: Mount the unit onto standard 35 mm DIN rails (EN 60715) in a vertical position to facilitate natural convective heat dissipation.
• Ventilation Clearance: Ensure at least 30 mm of free space above and below the device to allow adequate airflow and prevent localized overheating.
• Wiring: Use flexible cables with appropriate cross-sections for the 24 V DC power connection. Observe polarity designations to prevent damage to the internal power supply module.
• Grounding: Connect the functional earth terminal securely to the mounting plate or DIN rail to optimize electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) shielding.
