Beckhoff CX2020-0121

The CX2020‑0121 is a compact embedded controller launched by Beckhoff. It is equipped with a 1.4 GHz Intel® Celeron® processor and features an overall fanless design without rotating components, making it suitable for industrial environments with strict requirements on noise and reliability. The standard configuration includes 2 GB RAM (with an optional 4 GB upgrade) and a CFast flash card as the system boot medium. It is also equipped with two Gigabit Ethernet ports, four USB 2.0 interfaces, and a DVI‑I video output.

Main Technical Specifications

• CPU: Intel® Celeron® 1.4 GHz
• Memory: 2 GB RAM as standard, up to 4 GB as an option
• Storage: CFast flash card (expandable to 3 cards for RAID implementation)
• Network: 2× Independent Gigabit Ethernet ports
• Interfaces: 4× USB 2.0, 1× DVI‑I, optional fieldbus or serial port modules
• Persistent Storage: 128 KB NOVRAM (for use without UPS)
• Operating Temperature: -25 °C ~ +60 °C, suitable for harsh environments
• Power Supply: Powered by the CX2100 power supply module, and can be combined with other modules in the CX2000 series

Product Features

• Fanless Design: Eliminates mechanical wear and noise, enhancing reliability.
• Modular Expansion: Supports expansion via fieldbus, serial port, or PCI‑Express expansion modules. It can accommodate up to four modules of the CX2000 series, with no restrictions on module order.
• Multi-OS Support: Compatible with Windows Embedded Compact 7, Windows Embedded Standard 7 P, and Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2016 LTSB.
• TwinCAT Software Platform: Transforms the controller into a powerful PLC and motion control system, supporting 3D path interpolation and visual programming.
• Industrial-Grade Environmental Resistance: Features a wide temperature range, vibration resistance, and no rotating components, making it suitable for harsh on-site working conditions.

Structure and Composition

• CPU and Chipset: Located at the center of the motherboard, directly soldered to the fanless heat sink.
• Memory and Storage: 2 GB DDR3 RAM and CFast card slots are placed on both sides of the motherboard respectively, facilitating on-site replacement.
• Network and Interfaces: Two Gigabit Ethernet cards, four USB 2.0 interfaces, and one DVI‑I interface are all directly wired through the PCB.
• Persistent Storage: 128 KB NOVRAM is integrated on the motherboard for data retention after power failure.
• Optional Expansion Slots: Reserved slots for fieldbus (e.g., EtherCAT) or serial port modules, supporting later function upgrades.

Typical Application Areas

• Machine vision and image processing stations
• Motion control and robot systems
• PLC control for automated production lines
• Fieldbus gateways and edge computing nodes
• Packaging, inspection, and testing equipment requiring high reliability and low noise

Installation and Maintenance Guidelines

1. Installation Location: Ensure the chassis is placed in a well-ventilated and dust-free environment, away from direct sunlight or high-temperature heat sources.
2. Fixing Method: Fix using standard DIN rails or cabinet screws, and keep the chassis horizontal to facilitate heat dissipation.
3. Power Connection: Power the device via the CX2100 power supply module. Check that the power cable connectors are secure to avoid voltage fluctuations.
4. Interface Wiring: Use shielded cables that meet industrial standards for Ethernet, USB, and DVI‑I interfaces to prevent electromagnetic interference.
5. Module Expansion: If fieldbus or serial port functions are required, first reserve the corresponding slots inside the chassis, then insert the relevant modules.
6. Software Deployment: Use TwinCAT to install the corresponding operating system image. After installation, perform a system backup and use NOVRAM to save key parameters.
7. Regular Inspection: Check the heat sink, interface connection status, and read-write health of the CFast card every 6 months. Clean or replace components if necessary.
