The Beckhoff CX5240-0175 is a compact DIN rail-mounted PC-based PLC embedded controller from CX5200 series, equipped with Intel Atom® x5-E3940 quad-core CPU, built-in dual independent Gigabit Ethernet ports and pre-installed industrial runtime system TwinCAT 3. It realizes full-function industrial automation control integrating PLC logic operation, multi-axis motion control, real-time data collection, HMI visualization and industrial IoT gateway all in one compact unit. It supports direct connection with Beckhoff E-bus / K-bus EtherCAT I/O terminals to build distributed centralized control system for medium & small automated machinery and production lines. The fanless passive cooling design enables stable operation in wide-temperature harsh factory environments, perfectly replacing traditional separate PLC + industrial PC solutions to save cabinet installation space and reduce wiring cost.
Intel Atom® x5-E3940 1.6GHz 4-core processor, 8GB fixed DDR4 high-speed memory, TwinCAT 3 Performance Plus runtime, stable operation for complex multi-task logic, high-speed interpolation motion control and mass data processing.
2×RJ45 10/100/1000Mbps isolated Ethernet ports, separate network for equipment control and upper computer data transmission, support EtherCAT, Modbus TCP, OPC UA, MQTT mainstream industrial communication protocols.
No rotating fan structure, dust-proof & shock-resistant; working temperature range -25℃ ~ +60℃, storage temperature -40℃ ~ +85℃, meets strict industrial workshop, outdoor equipment climate requirements.
Standard 35mm DIN rail mounting, slim cabinet footprint; expandable with CX2500 series fieldbus modules via left-side expansion port, compatible with all Beckhoff EtherCAT I/O terminal modules.
4×USB3.1 high-speed port, 1×DVI-D display interface for touch screen/HMI connection, optional serial/fieldbus expansion slot (PROFIBUS, CANopen, RS485 optional).
Integrated non-volatile 1-second UPS, automatically back up production parameters to CFast card during instantaneous power failure, avoid program & data loss without external UPS power supply.
CE, UL certified, IP20 protection grade, fully comply with EU, CIS Central Asia import customs standards; original German genuine product with complete warranty documents for cross-border export clearance.
Unified TwinCAT 3 software platform, one programming environment to finish PLC logic, NC motion control, CNC interpolation, HMI screen configuration and factory data interconnection, greatly shorten equipment R&D cycle.
