Product overview
CX20x3 11Version: 1.0
4 Product overview
The CX2000 product family consists of individual modules, which can be assembled to form a customized
Embedded PC.
The CX2000 product family consists of:
• basic CPU modules,
• CX2100 power supply units,
• system, fieldbus and extension modules.
Basic CPU module
The basic CPU module is a fully functional PC and can be used in conjunction with a CX2100 power supply
unit as the smallest possible configuration. The basic configuration of the CX20x3 Embedded PC includes:
• a CFast card slot,
• two independent Gbit Ethernet interfaces,
• four USB 3.0 interfaces,
• and a DVI-D interface.
The basic CPU module features 128 kB NOVRAM as internal persistent data memory and can be used as
an alternative to a power supply unit with capacitive UPS or an external battery pack. In the event of a power
failure, important data are stored in the NOVRAM and are available again after a restart. Microsoft Windows
10 IoT Enterprise 2019 LTSC or TwinCAT/BSD can be used as the operating system.
Extension modules
The basic CPU module can be extended with additional interfaces or storage media, as required. Up to four
modules of the type CX2500-xxxx can be connected on the left side of the basic CPU module. The
connection order is irrelevant.
Modules of the type CX2550 (e.g., hard disks/SSD modules) and a power supply unit of the type CX2100-
xxxx can be connected on the right. With the CX20x3 Embedded PC, maximally two lanes are available on
the right-hand side. A hard disk module (CFast, SSD) and an extension module can thus be plugged in on
the right-hand side. A different combination of two extension modules is also possible, but a CFast or hard
disk module can then no longer be plugged in.

The CX2100 power supply units serve the basic CPU module and all additional modules. Bus Terminals (K-
bus) or EtherCAT Terminals (E-bus) can be attached on the right-hand side of the power supply units. The
power supply units are available in four different versions:
• CX2100-0014: E-bus/K-bus power supply unit with automatic switchover and passive ventilation.
• CX2100-0914: E-bus/K-bus power supply unit with automatic switching and integrated charging
electronics for an external battery pack.
• CX2100-0024: E-bus/K-bus power supply unit with automatic switchover and active cooling. The power
supply unit is electrically isolated and UPS-OCT-capable.
All power supply units feature an illuminated anti-glare LC display with two rows of 16 characters each for
displaying status messages. Application-specific texts can be displayed with the aid of user programs.
Software
In combination with the TwinCAT automation software, the CX20x3 Embedded PC becomes a powerful IEC
61131-3 PLC with up to four user tasks. In conjunction with EtherCAT and TwinCAT, it is possible to
implement very fast control processes in the microsecond range (XFC eXtreme Fast Control Technology).
It is also possible to execute Motion Control tasks with potentially up to 256 axes. Depending on the required
sampling time, several servo axes can be controlled. Even special functions such as Flying Saw, Electronic
Gearing and Cam Plate can be realized.
In addition to handling real-time control tasks the TwinCAT real-time kernel leaves enough time for the user
interface (HMI). The high performance of the graphics core integrated in the CPU enables demanding
visualizations with advanced user interfaces to be realized.

CX20x320 Version: 1.0
5.4 Optional interfaces
An optional interface is an additional interface that can be equipped with a wide range of signal types ex
factory and extends the Embedded PC beyond the basic equipment. The optional interface must be ordered
in advance and cannot be retrofitted to the device.
5.4.1 DVI-D (N010)
The DVI-D interface (X300) transfers digital data and is suitable for connection to digital displays. If the
optional N010 interface (DVI-D interface) is used, the first DVI-I interface can be operated either in VGA
mode or in DVI mode. The resolution at the display or the Beckhoff Control Panel depends on the distance
from the display device. The maximum distance is 5 m. Beckhoff offers various Panels with an integrated
“DVI extension”. These make a cable length of up to 50 meters possible.
