Appropriate Use
The CX1020 device series is a modular control system designed for top-hat rail installation. The system is scalable,
so that the required modules can be assembled and installed in the control cabinet or terminal box as required.

Only switch the PC off after closing the software

Before the Embedded PC is switched off, the software currently running on it should be stopped properly in order to
avoid data loss on the hard disk. Please read the section on “Switching off”.
Switch off all system components and uncouple the Industrial PC from the system if the PC is not used for control
purposes, e.g. during a function test. Disconnect the device by pulling the first terminal after the power supply unit
(CX1100-002 and CX1100-002) (optional) and the fieldbus connectors.
System components that have been switched off must be secured against being switched on again.
The power supply unit of the Embedded PC requires a 24 V DC supply.

Danger
Do not exchange any parts when under power!

When components are being fitted or removed, the supply voltage must be switched off.

Software knowledge
Warning
Mandatory software knowledge!

Every user must be familiar with any of the functions of the software installed on the PC that he can reach.

 Product overview

System overview

The system
With the CX series of Embedded PCs Beckhoff has combined PC technology and modular I/O level to form a top-hat
rail unit in the control cabinet. The CX1020 extends the CX product family by a version with higher CPU performance.
The CX1020 enables direct connection of Bus Terminals and EtherCAT terminals.
While the CX1000 features an 266 MHz AMD Geode processor, the CX1020 is equipped with a 1 GHz Intel(r) CPU.
It is an energy-saving device that operates with ultra-low core voltage and features low thermal power dissipation of
only 7 W TDP (thermal design power). As a result, no fan is required despite the compact design of the CX1020
Embedded PC. Since Compact Flash is used as boot and memory medium, no rotating media are required in the
controller. This is an important aspect for increasing the MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) of the overall system.
The case and assembly concept of the CX1020 is similar to that of its smaller brother, the CX1000:
It also consists of several components that can be assembled by the user. The simplest configuration consists of a
CPU module and a multi-functional power supply unit. The PC104 bus is used for the connection between these and
all other CX components, although in the CX1020 this was extended with EtherCAT signals. The basic CPU module
is equipped with two RJ-45 sockets and an integrated 3-port switch as standard. In practice, this often means that no
separate switch is required, since a line topology can be configured conveniently:
For example in building installations, where several room controls can be distributed across each floor, which
otherwise would have to be networked via a star topology.
Like the CX1000, the CX1020 can be expanded with optional system interfaces. A DVI-I (=DVI-D + VGA) output, two
USB-2.0 interfaces, up to four RS232 interfaces and audio are available. The four RS232 interfaces feature opto-
decoupling and can optionally be implemented as RS422/RS.
The same reusability also applies to the multi-functional power supplied units (CX1100-000x) of the CX1020: one
without I/O terminal connection, one with K-Bus connection, one with K-Bus and IP-Link connection for IP-67-
protected Fieldbus Box modules, and a power supply unit with direct connection facility for Beckhoff EtherCAT
Terminals.

EtherCAT as a fast I/O system

The CX1020 Embedded PC was developed for optimum interaction with EtherCAT. The two Ethernet interfaces of
the CPU module are not primarily intended for EtherCAT operation. The EtherCAT connection is established via the
EK1110 (EtherCAT) extension terminal.
Interestingly, EtherCAT offers several options for connecting conventional fieldbus systems to the CX1020:
either as a CX1500 module directly at the CPU or as an EtherCAT device in terminal form. The PROFIBUS master is
available either as a CX1500-M310 or as a EL6731 EtherCAT terminal. Both types offer the same performance

Embedded PC 9
Product overview

characteristics - e.g. both support PROFIBUS DP-V2. In practice, this means that the PROFIBUS master can be
positioned exactly where it is required within a machine. It no longer has to be implemented as a plug-in card in the
IPC or a master controller in the control cabinet.

PLC, Motion Control, interpolation and visualisation

As a top-hat rail IPC and in conjunction with the TwinCAT software from Beckhoff, the CX1020 offers the same
functionality as large Industrial PCs. In terms of PLC, up to four virtual IEC 61131 CPUs can be programmed with up
to four tasks each, with a minimum cycle time of 50 µs. All IEC 61131-3 languages can be used.
Moreover, all TwinCAT functionalities are available for Motion Control applications:
In theory, up to 256 axes can be controlled. In addition to simple point-to-point movements, more complex multi-axis
functions such as "electronic gearbox", "cam plates" and "flying saw" can be implemented. In contrast to the CX1000,
due to its higher CPU performance the CX1020 can now also execute interpolating 3D path movements and
DIN66025 programs.
In addition to real-time execution of control tasks, the TwinCAT real-time kernel ensures that enough time remains for
the user interface (HMI), to communicate with the real-time components via software interfaces such as ADS or OPC.
For the CX1020 the same basic principle applies: it is a programming tool for all controllers.
The complete programming of PLC, Motion Control and visualisation is transferable to all PC controls from Beckhoff,
which is reassuring in cases where it becomes apparent during a project that more processing power is required after
all. In this case a system with higher performance can be used.

Basic CPU module

Further system interfaces or fieldbus connections can be added to the basic CPU module. The CPU module requires
a CX1100 type power supply module.
All CX1500 fieldbus modules and all CX1100 power supply units from the CX1000 series can be used in combination
with the CX1020.
The CX1100-0004 power supply unit offers a direct interface between the CX1020 and the EtherCAT Terminals. The
combination of CX1020, EtherCAT and TwinCAT enables cycle and response times of less than 1 millisecond.
The CPU module is available in several variants. These relate to:
- Internal memory configuration: there are three options - either 64 MB Flash/256 MB DDR RAM (standard), 512 MB
RAM, or 1 GB RAM.
- System interface configuration: as an option, a DVI and two USB Interfaces can be added to the combination of two
Ethernet and RJ 45 ports that are always present.
- Operating system: There is a choice between "Microsoft Windows CE.NET" or "Microsoft Windows XP Embedded".
- Pre-installed TwinCAT software: CX1020 can be pre-installed without a TwinCAT system, with TwinCAT CE PLC,
TwinCAT CE NC PTP or TwinCAT CE NCI, or with the associated full version of the individual TwinCAT levels for
PLC and Motion Control.

System interfaces
Further system interfaces for serial communication (2x RS 232 or RS422, RS485), 2 x USB 2.0 interfaces, video
output (DVI +) , CF card reader/writer or audio signals can be ordered separately.

Fieldbus interfaces
All CX1500 fieldbus modules and all CX1100 power supply units from the CX1000 series can be used in combination
with the CX1020.
The fieldbus interfaces are currently available as master and slave versions for the following fieldbuses:
Beckhoff Lightbus, Profibus DP, CANopen, DeviceNet or SERCOS interface (only master)
The master fieldbus connections enable a CX1020 system to use Beckhoff fieldbus components (such as Bus
Coupler, Bus Terminal Controller or Drive Technology) as local control components for complex systems.
Slave fieldbus connections enable the CX1020 system to be used as a subordinate distributed control system for
complex or modular systems.

Note:
Documentation describing the fieldbus connections is available separately.

 Product overview

The software
In combination with the TwinCAT automation software, the CX1020 Industrial PC becomes a powerful IEC 61131-3
PLC with up to four user tasks. Additionally, Motion Control tasks can also be executed. Depending on the required
cycle time, several servo axes can be controlled. Even special functions such as flying saw, electronic gearbox and
cam plate can be realized.
The CX1020 system is programmed in the same way as other bus controllers:

Remote programming via Ethernet

This option is used if the basic unit is equipped with “Windows CE.NET”. In this case, the system is programmed via
a laptop or a desktop PC, which is connected to the CX1020 via Ethernet (network or crossover cable). The
programs are developed on the laptop with a standard TwinCAT software license and then loaded into the target
device.

Visualization
The Beckhoff OPC server is available for interfacing with SCADA packets, if the two operating system variants
“Windows CE.NET” or “Windows XP Embedded” are used. In other words, the CX1020 also offers straightforward
visualization and simultaneous control in real-time on a single system.

Product overview

Connection of the Ethernet ports:

Warning
The two Ethernet ports of a basic CPU module must not be connected to the same external
switch!

Schematic structure of the network components:

The CX1020 features two MAC blocks. The first one (MAC1) operates the network interfaces for the Ethernet ports.
The two outputs are connected via a switch. In this way a line structure can be configured as described below. From
an operating system perspective this represents a single connection. The second block (MAC2) operates the
extended PC104 bus. The second physical network connection can be utilised via additional system interfaces. This
requires either a CX1100-0004 power supply unit or a CX1020-N060 system interface. A connection to the E-bus for
EtherCAT terminals is realised via the power supply unit. The CX1020-N060 interface establishes the Ethernet
connection, thereby making a further network interface available.

Note

Only for use in LAN, not for connection to telecommunication circuits.

Operating system perspective:

The operating system only sees one of the connections for the network interface. The status is always connected,
since the switch is connected directly. The internal connection via the PC104 bus extension is shown as the second
interface. If no expansion module is connected, the line is reported as not connected. If the CX1100-00x4 power
supply unit is connected, Windows XPe reports "restricted or no connection". This behavior is normal, since Windows
itself does not use this interface, and therefore no IP address is allocated. If the CX1020-N060 extension is
connected, the connection behaves like a 'normal' network port.

These interfaces are connected to an internal 3-port switch and offer a simple option for creating a line topology
without the need for additional Ethernet switches.

system is powered down - otherwise the system could crash. In case of using the CF-slot extension (CXxxxx-A001)
the CF card can be removed after signing out the media from the system. The card can be removed for maintenance
or to extend the system storage capacity. The Compact Flash cards (CF cards) are available as accessories with
different storage capacities.
As example the following pictures show the handling of the CF cards with a CX1000 system. Activating the eject
mechanism below the slot with a screwdriver causes the card to be ejected by approx. 4 mm (FIGURE 1), so that it
can be pulled out (FIGURE 2). If the card is pushed in (FIGURE 3), the eject mechanism will re-engage. The card is
positioned correctly, if it is located approx. 1 mm lower than the front of the housing.

The colours of the connections shown match those on the CX1020-N020 module. Once a configuration has been set
it can be tested via the "Speaker Test" tab.

Clicking on a speaker causes a signal to be sent to the selected speaker. The user can thus check the positioning or
allocation of the individual speakers to the audio channels. Once all speakers have been set correctly, the surround
sound can be tested via "HRTF Demo".

The test parameters can be set via the selection menus:

Power supply units

CX1100-000x | Power supply units and I/O interfaces

A choice of four power supply modules is available for use with a CX10x0 system. The power supply of all other
system components is ensured via the internal PC104 bus; no separate supply lines are required. However, the
CX1100 components offer further important characteristics that go beyond a pure power supply: an integrated
NOVRAM enables the fail-safe storage of process data, an LCD display with two lines of 16 characters each is used
for displaying system and user messages. A 4 + 1 keypad enables user input without additional keyboard or input
panel. Local I/O signals are connected via the CX1100-0002 power supply variant, to which all Beckhoff Bus
Terminals can be connected, or via CX1100-0003, which in addition to the Bus Terminals enables the connection of
Extension Box IExxxx type Beckhoff Fieldbus Box modules. The option to connect Bus Terminals or a fieldbus Box
creates a control system with a very variable, expandable I/O level with large signal variety. The I/O data are stored
in a DPRAM, which is accessible by the CPU via the system bus. The power supply units of the CX system can be
changed in the field: If, for example, local I/O via Bus Terminals is required, CX1100-0001 can be replaced with
CX1100-0002 in the field. EtherCAT terminals can be connected via the CX1100-0004 power supply unit. The I/O
data are stored directly in the main memory of the CX1100-0004 CPU; a DPRAM is no longer required. The CX1100-
0004 power supply unit for EtherCAT terminals can not be connected in conjunction with the basic CX1000 CPU
module.

The technical data are provided with the individual power supply unit specifications:

 CX1100-0001 (no field bus)

 CX1100-0002 (K-Bus)

 CX1100-0012 (K-Bus for CX1030 and CX10x0 for alternative installation positions)

 CX1100-0003 (K-Bus, IP-Link)

 CX1100-0013 (K-Bus, IP-Link for CX1030 and CX10x0 for alternative installation positions)

 CX1100-0004 (E-Bus)

Mechanical assembly of the basic module

The installation of the modules takes place in three steps:

1. The sequence of the modules

The basic CPU module with system interfaces, which are factory-installed on the left side, is extended with the power
supply unit on the right and with the fieldbus connection (master or slave) left side if available.

2. Assembly of the CPU and the power supply unit

The individual modules are simply plugged together. The PC104 connector plugs should be handled carefully in order
to avoid damage. When correctly assembled, no significant gap can be seen between the attached housings.

3. Engaging on the top-hat rail

On the bottom of the modules, there is a white tension strap, which is connected with a latching mechanism. These
tension straps must be pulled down before attaching to the top-hat rail. This can be done using an ordinary
screwdriver and a slight turn.

Embedded PC 67
Assembly and connecting

Then fix the CX1020 block on the top hat-rail using the latching straps. You should hear a soft click.

Do not force the module or apply

excessive pressure!
Only apply pressure at insensitive points of the housing (edges). Never apply pressure on the display, the buttons or
movable parts of the CX10x0 system.
After successful latching on the top-hat rail the straps should be pushed back to their original position.

Note:
A locking mechanism prevents the individual housings from being pulled off again. Detailed information relating to
disassembly of the CX1020 configuration from the top-hat rail can be found on page "Removal and disposal".

Installation position:

Warning
The maximum ambient temperature for CPU modules mounted on a top-hat rail is 55°C. The
orientation in which the device is fitted must be selected in such a way that cooling air can flow
vertically through the ventilation holes. The images show the correct (Fig. 8) and two incorrect
installation positions (Figs. 9 & 10).

Observe minimum clearance!

Mounting must provide a clearance of 30 mm both above and below a CX1000 device
combination to ensure adequate ventilation of the base CPU module and the power supply unit.

68 Embedded PC
 Assembly and connecting

Correct installation position:

The high-performance CX1020 system generates a significant amount of heat, which is dissipated via a passive
ventilation system. This system requires the unit to be mounted correctly. Ventilation openings are located at the top
and bottom of the housing. The system therefore has to be installed horizontally. This ensures optimum air flow.

Incorrect installation positions:

The CX1020 system must not be operated vertically on the top-hat rail. A vertical position would lead to insufficient
CPU ventilation, since the ventilation openings are located on the top and bottom of the housing. Installation of the
system on its side would also lead to inadequate ventilation.

Mechanical installation of the fieldbus connection

Installation of a fieldbus connection involves several steps:

1. Removing the cover of the basic CX1020 module

In order to be able to connect the fieldbus to the basic CX1020 module, the cover of the basic CX1000/CX1020
module has to be removed first. This is achieved by applying slight pressure on the cover.

2. Assembly and connection to the CX1000/CX1020 configuration

Since the CX1000 configuration is already positioned on the top-hat rail, the assembly first has to be pushed onto the
top-hat rail. To this end the latching mechanism has to be released by pulling the white straps downwards.
The assembly is connected to the existing CX1000/CX1020 configuration by simply plugging the two units together.
Care must be taken that the plug of the PC104 interface is not damaged.
When correctly assembled, no significant gap can be seen between the attached housings. Finally, the white straps
are returned to their original position, so that the locking mechanism engages.

72 Embedded PC
 Assembly and connecting

3. Install cover
If the connection area does not have a closing cover on the left-hand side, the cover that was previously removed
should be pressed over the connections until it audibly engages.

Note:
If the CX1000/CX1020 configuration is not positioned on the top-hat rail, it is possible to connect the assembly with
the CX1000/CX1020 configuration first and then latch the whole module onto the top-hat rail. The installation is
described in section Installation and wiring.

Note:
A locking mechanism prevents the individual housings from being pulled off again.

Ground connection to cooling element

The cooling element is make of aluminum. Though for proper operating it must be connected to ground. This
connection is realized by a bolt and a screw at the bottom of the cooling element. The set of bolt and screw is
assembled in the factory. To For installation an additional lug and the wire are needed. The ground connection set
does not extend the space the system needs. If the device is installed in correct installing position (30 mm 30 mm
both above and below the housing) no extra space is needed. The dimensions with the ground connection set are as
follows:

The ground connection is realized via a lug of size M4. The following picture shows the order of the grommets and
the lug.

The lug is placed between the middle grommets. First the screw is fixed by turns with the hand. Then a wrench of
size S7 can be used to fix the screw. To avoid damage to the unit, its a good idea to make use of a torque wrench.

Warning
The torque of the screw must not exceed 2,4 Nm! Otherwise the unit might get damaged.

The ground wire must be connected to the ground.

Start-up procedure

Switching the PC on and off

Switching on
The power supply for the basic CPU module comes from the power supply unit. The basic CPU module starts
automatically when the power supply unit is connected to the mains.

Switching on for the first time

When you switch on the PC for the first time, the pre-installed operating system (optional) will be started.

Switching off
The Embedded PC switches off when the power supply unit is switched off. The control software typically running on
Embedded PCs should be shut down or stopped correctly. A user who may not close software may also not switch
the Embedded PC off, since data can be lost from the hard disk by switching off while software is running.
Once the software has been stopped, the operating system can be shut down. Only then should the power supply be
interrupted.

Note on using the setup

Warning
Beckhoff Automation GmbH supplies the CX1020 systems pre-configured, which means they are
READY FOR USE!
The BIOS settings should only be modified by appropriately trained staff.
Under Windows CE the BIOS should not be changed at all, since the operating system is
adapted to the hardware configuration. Any change in the addresses or interrupts would lead to
unstable system behaviour or even crashing.

Within the individual setup pages, F6 can be used for loading fail-safe defaults, and F7 for optimised default values
for the individual setup entries. These default values are applied irrespective of whether the board was previously
booted successfully with a particular setup setting. The situation is different if the defaults are called from the TOP
menu. Once a setup setting that subsequently led to successful booting was saved, both menu items will load these
values as defaults for the setup pages. See also "Load Fail-Safe Defaults" and "Load Optimized Defaults".

IDE HDD Auto-Detection:

Automatic detection of the hard disk is initiated by pressing the <Enter> key. After a few seconds the physical data of
the connected hard disk should be displayed in the lower section of the menu.

IDE Primary Master:

This parameter is used for configuring the IDE bus. The following options are available:

 None (no hard disk connected to this bus connection)

 Auto (auto-detection during each boot process)

 Manual (the hard disk is addressed with the set parameters)

Access Mode:
This option can be used to select the operating system for the hard disk. Setting options: CHS, LBA, LARGE, or Auto.
Auto is the recommended setting. Normal (standard) mode supports hard disks with a capacity of up to 528 MB. This
mode uses positions for data access that are specified via cylinders (CYLS), heads, and sectors. The older LBA
(Logical Block Addressing) mode can support hard disks with a capacity of up to 8.4 GB. This mode uses a different
method for calculating the position disk data to be accessed. It translates cylinders, heads and sectors into a logical
address for the data location. Large hard disks support this mode. The BIOS supports the INT 13h extension function
that enables the LBA mode to manage hard disk drives with a capacity of more than 8.4 GB. If the number of
cylinders (CYLs) on the hard disk exceeds 1024 and DOS cannot support it, or if your operating system does not
support LBA mode, LARGE mode should be selected. The following options are available for setting the hard disk
access mode:

 CHS

 LBA

 LARGE

IDE Primary Master PIO

PIO refers to the concept of programmed input and output. Instead of the BIOS issuing an instruction sequence for
initiating a data transfer from or to the hard disk, PIO enables the BIOS to notify the controller what task should be
executed. The task is then fully handled by the controller and the CPU. Your system supports five PIO modes, 0
(standard) to 4, with the main difference relating to timing. If "Auto" (automatic) is selected, the BIOS will assess your
drive and automatically specify the optimum PIO mode. Auto: The BIOS automatically sets the system value
depending on the timing of your hard disk drive. Mode 0-4: You can select a mode suitable mode that matches the
timing your hard drive.

HDD Power Down

Here you can specify after which period of inactivity the hard disk is switched off. This option is only available for IDE
hard disks. Settings: Disabled or 1 to 15 minutes. This option should be used with caution, since frequent switching
on and off is more damaging to the hard disk than beneficial in terms of energy saving.

Wake-Up by PCI card

This option can be used to start your PC from another PC via a network by sending a wake-up frame or signal.

Power On by Ring
The system starts when the phone rings, if an external modem is connected to the onboard serial port.

FDD, COM, LPT Port

If one of these menu items is set to "Monitor", the AMI-BIOS monitors the IRQ of the respective connection or device
(and therefore the connection or device itself) for activity while in energy-saving mode. If activity is detected, the
system switches from the respective energy-saving mode to normal mode. The AMI-BIOS resets the standby and
suspend idle time to zero if activity is detected on a specified IRQ.

PCI PIRQ[A-D]#
This option can be used to influence the power management timing. If the option is enabled, a countdown
commences that is interrupted as soon as the INTA~INTD signal becomes active. The system is reset to zero.

 Decomissioning

6. Decomissioning
Removal and disposal

A CX10x0 hardware configuration is dismantled in 2 stages:

0. Switching off and disconnecting the power supply

Before a CX10x0 system can be dismantled, the system should be switched off, and the power supply should be
disconnected.

1. Removing from the top-hat rail:

Before the individual CX10x0 modules are disconnected, the whole CX1020 hardware block should be removed from
the top-hat rail. Proceed as follows:

1.1. Release and remove the first Terminal next to the power supply unit on the top-hat rail.
First remove any wiring from power supply unit and then from the first terminal on the top-hat rail next to the power
supply unit. If the wiring is to be reused for another system, it is advisable to make a note of the connections. Then
pull the orange terminal release (see arrow) to release the terminal and pull it out.

1.2. Releasing the CX10x0 system

In order to release the CX10x0 block, pull the white straps at the bottom of the module in the direction of the arrows.
They will lock in the extended position. After pulling the terminal release of the power supply unit, the block can be
removed carefully from the top-hat rail.

Decomissioning

2. Separating the individual modules

2.1. Separating the power supply unit, the CX10x0 CPU and other components
Place the CX10x0 block onto a suitable support with the front facing down. Then insert a flat screwdriver with
dimensions 1.0 x 5.5 x 150 mm into the locking mechanism, and then operating the slider by turning it about 90
degrees. The locking mechanism on the rear affects an approx. 2-3 mm wide clearance of the module latching
mechanism, pushing them apart. The plug connectors of the PC 104 interface can then be pulled apart carefully.

Only modules (CPU, fieldbus connections and UPS modules) that can be separated non-destructively feature a
release device. Modules that cannot be separated only feature a marking point (with or without red paint seal).
Applying force to these elements will destroy them.

Warning
Forcibly opening the module housing (e.g. removing the cover) will destroy the housing.

Disposal
The device must be fully dismantled in order to dispose of it.
Electronic parts must be disposed of in accordance with national electronics scrap regulations.
