Beckhoff CX2040-0155 Industrial Automation CPU Module

Beckhoff CX2040-0155 is a standard CPU module for Beckhoff’s CX Embedded PC family, powered by an Intel Core i7-2715QE quad-core processor at 2.1 GHz. It combines solid multi‑threaded performance with compact, field‑ready design for industrial automation tasks. The module includes 4 GB of DDR3 RAM (not expandable) and a 40 GB CFast flash card to host the operating system and TwinCAT runtime, enabling a self‑contained control solution in a single compact unit. Connectivity comprises 2 x RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, 4 x USB 2.0 ports, and a DVI‑I video output, with 1 x optional interface available for expansion. Running Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2016 LTSB 64‑bit alongside TwinCAT 3 runtime (XAR), the CX2040-0155 ships with the software environment ready for real‑time automation tasks, though licenses are not included. Weighing roughly 1.23 kg, this basic CPU module is designed to slot into Beckhoff’s CX2000 ecosystem, delivering reliable edge processing, industrial data handling, and robust control capabilities in a single, deployable package. In short, it’s a compact, Windows‑based embedded controller that brings multi‑core processing, integrated storage, and essential I/O to machine automation applications that require TwinCAT 3.
