Product overview
The CX5200 product family includes two different embedded PCs, which differ by their processor type and RAM. The CX52x0 Embedded PC is a full-fledged PC with the following basic configuration:
- CFast card slot,
- a microSD card slot,
- two independent Gbit Ethernet interfaces,
- four USB 3.0 interfaces,
- and a DVI-D interface
The embedded PC features an internal 1-second UPS as persistent data memory. In the event of a power failure the 1-second UPS can store up to 1 MB of persistent data on the CFast card or microSD card. 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 if required and thus equipped with additional interfaces. To do this, a system module or fieldbus module from the CX2500-xxxx series can be plugged in via the multi-pin connection on the left-hand side of the device. In total, no more than one module can be plugged in.

Power supply terminal
The power supply terminal for the embedded PC is located on the right-hand side. Bus terminals (K-bus) or EtherCAT Terminals (E-bus) can be attached on the right-hand side of the power supply terminal. The power supply terminal automatically recognizes the respective bus system (K-bus or E-bus).
Software
In combination with the TwinCAT automation software, the CX52x0 Embedded PC becomes a powerful IEC 61131-3 PLC.
Additionally, Motion Control tasks can also be executed. It may be possible to control several servo axes, depending on the required sampling time. In addition to simple point-to-point movements, it is possible to execute more complex multi-axis functions such as electronic gearing, cam plate and flying saw.
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.
