Embedded PCs boost performance up to 60% with Intel Atom CPUs
CX5300 fanless, embedded PCs have Intel Atom processors from Elkhart Lake’s x6 series, and offer up to 60% more computing power than CX5200 series. They have two device variants, including CX5330 with x6214RE Intel Atom processor (1.4 GHz, two processor cores, and CX5340 with x6416RE Intel Atom processor (1.7 GHz, four processor cores).
These DIN rail-mounted controllers with direct I/O connections are ideal for automation and IoT tasks. They offer added advantages due DisplayPort for HMI integration, UPS OCT-capable power supply unit, and capacitive, 1-second UPS.
In their basic configuration, CX5300s are equipped with 4 or 8 GB of DDR4 RAM, two independent, gigabit-capable Ethernet interfaces, as well as four USB 3.1 interfaces and one DisplayPort. Many connection options or gateway functions are available thanks to their optional interface, which can be fitted ex-factory, and can make backplane connections to EtherCAT’s terminal or bus terminal I/O.
In addition, a system module or fieldbus module from CX2000 series can be plugged in via a high-pole connection on the device’s left side. CX5300 also has an electrically isolated, internal power supply unit with UPS OCT capability, built-in capacitive 1-second UPS for persistent data storage, low power consumption, and minimal heat dissipation. It’s also one of Beckhoff’s first embedded PCs with Windows 11 2024 LTSC preinstalled.
