CX5300 Embedded PC series with latest generation Intel Atom® CPUs 

THE new CX5300 Embedded PC series from Beckhoff uses Intel Atom® processors from the x6 series (Elkhart Lake), helping it to offer up to 60% more computing power than the proven CX5200 series.

Further application advantages result from the modern DisplayPort for HMI integration, as well as the UPS OCT-capable power supply unit and the capacitive 1-second UPS. 

The CX5300 is a fanless embedded PC and is available in two device variants: 

  • CX5330: with x6214RE Intel Atom® processor (1.4 GHz, two cores) 
  • CX5340: with x6416RE Intel Atom®processor (1.7 GHz, four cores) 

In the basic configuration, the devices are equipped with 4 or 8 GB of DDR4 RAM, two independent, gigabit-capable Ethernet interfaces, as well as four USB 3.1 interfaces and one DisplayPort. 

A wide range of additional connection options or gateway functions is available thanks to the optional interface, which can be fitted ex factory, and the I/O level, which can consist of either E-bus or K-bus terminals. 

In addition, a system module or fieldbus module from the CX2000 series can be plugged in via the high-pole connection on the left-hand side of the device. 

Furthermore, the CX5300 is characterised by an internally electrically isolated power supply unit with UPS OCT capability, the built-in capacitive 1-second UPS for persistent data storage, and low power consumption.
