Beckhoff CX5120 | Embedded PC with Intel Atom® E3815
CX5120 | Embedded PC with Intel Atom® E3815
The CX5120 has an Intel Atom® single-core processor with a clock rate of 1.46 GHz. The hardware interfaces in this series are oriented and implemented identically to those of the existing CX5000 series.
Two independent, Gigabit-capable Ethernet interfaces as well as four USB 2.0 and a DVI-I interface are available.
A multitude of further connection options or gateway functions are created by an optional interface,
which can be pre-fitted in the factory, as well as the I/O level, which can selectively consist either of E-bus or K-bus terminals.
The CX5120 is characterized by low power consumption and fanless design.
Depending on the installed TwinCAT runtime environment, the CX5120 can be used for implementing PLC or PLC/motion control projects with or without visualization.
The execution of motion control applications with interpolating axis movements is also possible.
Like the CX5000. the CX5100 series has a compact design; a modular device with extension modules like in the CX2000 series is not available.
