Beckhoff CX2040-0135 Embedded PC

The Beckhoff CX2040-0135 is a high-powered embedded PC engineered for demanding control, motion, and visualization applications. Featuring a 2.1 GHz Intel® Core™ i7 quad-core processor and 4 GB DDR3 RAM, this unit offers exceptional performance in compact DIN-rail form. Designed with a fan-assisted cooling system with speed monitoring, it ensures stable operation even under heavy workloads.

This model includes dual Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, four USB 2.0 ports, a DVI-I interface, and CFast card-based storage. It supports both TwinCAT 2 and TwinCAT 3 runtimes and is compatible with multiple OS platforms including Windows Embedded Compact 7 and Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2016 LTSB. Thanks to its modular PCI Express® architecture, up to four expansion modules can be added on-site.

Ideally suited for TwinCAT NC I applications like 3D motion control, the CX2040-0135 is a robust controller in the CX2000 family. The model is currently in the service phase, with the CX2043 offered as the recommended upgrade path.
