Beckhoff CX5130-0140 CX5100 Series Embedded PC Module

Description

Engineered for high-performance automation and control tasks, the Beckhoff CX5130-0140 serves as a robust embedded PC CPU module within the modular CX5100 series. Equipped with an Intel Atom E3827 dual-core processor running at 1.75 GHz, this controller offers efficient processing power with optimized energy consumption for industrial environments. The unit features built-in I/O auto-recognition, allowing seamless integration with both Beckhoff E-bus (EtherCAT Terminals) and K-bus (Bus Terminals) systems directly on the DIN rail.

This controller features 4 GB of non-expandable DDR3 RAM, redundant flash card slots for CFast and microSD storage, and a built-in 1-second UPS to ensure persistent data preservation of up to 1 MB in the event of power loss. Designed for flexibility in fieldbus connectivity and software runtimes, it supports Windows Embedded, Windows 10 IoT, and TwinCAT/BSD operating platforms, making it ideal for standard PLC applications, motion control, and high-speed data acquisition.

Features

• Dual-Core Processor: Intel Atom E3827 processor operating at 1.75 GHz for efficient execution of PLC and motion control cycles.
• Unified I/O Interface: Automatic recognition and support for both K-bus and E-bus (EtherCAT) terminal systems.
• Integrated Persistent Storage: Built-in 1-second UPS saves up to 1 MB of critical data to the CFast card upon unexpected power disruption.
• Dual Storage Expansion: Dedicated slots for both CFast and microSD cards to segregate operating systems, programs, and log files.
• Flexible Communication Ports: Dual independent Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, four USB 2.0 ports, and one high-resolution DVI-I connection.

Applications

• Heavy machine automation and precision motion control systems.
• Distributed power generation monitoring and utility control.
• Process control systems requiring space-saving DIN rail mounting.
• Water and wastewater plant control and monitoring panels.

Technical Specifications

Connections and Interfaces

Installation Guidelines

• Mounting: Mount horizontally on standard 35 mm DIN rail (EN 60715). Ensure correct interlocking on the mounting rail.
• Ventilation: Maintain at least 30 mm of free space above and below the module to allow natural convection cooling. Do not block venting slots.
• Grounding: Connect the functional earth grounding directly to the low-impedance DIN rail via the integrated grounding spring on the back panel.
• Power Supply Connection: Ensure supply lines are properly fused and use conductors matching the nominal load current and voltage drops.

Compliance and Certifications

• CE: Conforms to European electromagnetic compatibility standards EN 61000-6-2 and EN 61000-6-4.
• UL: Listed for safety standard UL 508.
• DNV GL: Certified for marine and offshore installations.
• Hazardous Location (ATEX/IECEx/cFMus): Conforms to ATEX: II 3 G Ex nA IIC T4 Gc and II 3 D Ex tc IIIC T135 degC Dc (when ordered with the CX2900-0107 option).
