CX2500-0060 - Beckhoff Embedded PCs

The Beckhoff CX2500-0060 Embedded PC is a high-performance Ethernet expansion module that provides two Ethernet ports (10/100/1000 Mbit/s) for robust industrial networking. It draws power directly through the system bus using compatible CX2100-0xxx power supply modules, reducing cabling and simplifying installation. With dimensions of just 24 x 99 x 54.5 mm and a weight of approx. 195 g, the unit is optimized for space-saving control cabinets. Designed for demanding environments, it operates between -25°C and +60°C, supports storage down to -40°C, and tolerates up to 95% humidity without condensation. The IP20 protection rating ensures safe integration within industrial enclosures, while compliance with EN 60068-2-6, EN 60068-2-27, and EN 61000-6-2/6-4 standards guarantees vibration resistance, shock durability, and EMC reliability.

The CX2500-0060 Embedded PC is widely used in industries requiring reliable Ethernet expansion, including factory automation, building systems, and infrastructure management. Its dual-port capability makes it suitable for creating flexible topologies in distributed automation networks, ensuring fast and stable data exchange between controllers and devices. Engineers appreciate its compact form factor, which fits easily in DIN rail cabinets, and its plug-and-play integration into the Beckhoff CX5000 series, reducing setup complexity. Maintenance teams benefit from its rugged design and compliance with international standards, which guarantee long-term operation even in harsh industrial conditions. For students and trainees, the CX2500-0060 serves as a practical example of scalable industrial PC architecture, demonstrating how modular designs support future-proof automation systems.
