CX1020-0110
The Beckhoff CX1020-0110 from Beckhoff is a member of the CX Embedded PC Systems family, engineered for compact industrial automation. This Embedded PC features a 1 GHz Intel® Celeron® M ULV processor and comes with a 128 MB expandable flash memory on a Compact Flash card slot, ensuring ample storage flexibility. Its internal battery-powered clock maintains accurate time and date, making it ideal for control applications that demand precise timing and reliable operation.
In terms of technical performance, the CX1020-0110 includes 256 MB DDR main memory expandable to 1 GB, and offers two RJ45 10/100 Mbps Ethernet interfaces with an internal switch for seamless network integration. Diagnostic status is provided by LEDs—1×Power, 2×LAN, 1×Flash, TwinCAT status—enabling rapid troubleshooting. Cooling is passive by default, with optional active cooling available ex-factory. The system bus is a 16-bit ISA (PC/104) interface, while I/O connections are handled via PS modules on the E-bus and K-bus or K-bus/IP-Link.
Designed for compatibility and efficiency, the CX1020-0110 supports Windows Embedded CE 6 and Windows Embedded Standard 2009, and runs TwinCAT 2 PLC, NC PTP and NC I runtimes for comprehensive automation control. Its internal battery-backed clock (exchangeable) ensures continuous timekeeping even during power outages, and the low max power consumption of 11 W minimizes energy use. Robust passive cooling promotes silent operation and long-term durability, making this compact Embedded PC an excellent choice for demanding industrial environments where reliability, precise timing, and efficient network communication are paramount.
