Beckhoff CX2040-0125 Embedded PC

The Beckhoff CX2040-0125 is a high-performance embedded PC engineered for powerful control and automation applications. Equipped with a 2.1 GHz Intel® Core™ i7 quad-core CPU and 4 GB DDR3 RAM, it is optimized for intensive tasks such as PLC control, 3D motion, and visualization with TwinCAT software.

Designed with reliability in mind, it includes integrated fan-assisted cooling with speed monitoring, robust CFast-based flash storage, and flexible PCI Express® module expandability. Dual Gigabit Ethernet, four USB 2.0 ports, and DVI-I ensure smooth connectivity, while a wide operating temperature range makes it suitable for challenging environments.

Part of the CX2000 family, this fan-cooled DIN-rail PC is ideal for modular industrial systems. It is now in the service phase, with the CX2043 recommended as the upgrade path.
