The basic equipment of the CX5300 Embedded PCs includes two independent Gbit

Ethernet interfaces, four USB 3.1 ports, one DisplayPort interface and a multi-option

interface that can be flexibly equipped ex factory, for example with a serial port,

a fieldbus connection, or a second video connection with DVI-D, HDMI, or DisplayPort.

The boot and storage medium is an interchangeable, industrially compatible CFast card,

whose slot is accessible behind a cover. The CFast card serves as a substitute for a hard

disk, i. e. the operating system, along with TwinCAT and user projects, are stored on it.

Fast hardware exchange is thus possible if servicing is required; a software update can

be performed simply by replacing the card on site. The built-in capacitive 1-second UPS

assures secure backup of persistent application data on the CFast card. The date and

time are backed up by an exchangeable battery (button cell).

In addition to handling real-time control tasks, management in the TwinCAT 3 real-time kernel

leaves enough time for the user interface (HMI). Due to the excellent performance of the graphic

unit integrated in the CPU, even demanding visualizations can be displayed with modern user

interfaces.

The CX5300 series is also available as an embedded PC without an operating system and without

TwinCAT. The extended operating temperature range from -25°C to +60°C enables use under

challenging ambient conditions.
