The new CX5300 Embedded PC series from Beckhoff is equipped with Intel Atom® processors from the x6 series (Elkhart Lake) and offer up to 60% more computing power than the proven CX5200 series. These DIN rail mounted controllers with direct I/O connection are ideal for a wide range of automation and IoT tasks. A modern DisplayPort for HMI integration, the UPS OCT-capable power supply unit, and the capacitive 1-second UPS offer additional application advantages.
The CX5300 is a fan-less embedded PC and is available in two device variants:

The CX5300 is a fan-less embedded PC and is available in two device variants:
- CX5330: with x6214RE Intel Atom® processor (1.4 GHz, two processor)
- CX5340: with x6416RE Intel Atom® processor (1.7 GHz, four processor cores)
In the basic configuration, the controllers 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 are available thanks to the optional interface, which can be fitted ex-factory, and backplane connection to EtherCAT Terminal or Bus Terminal I/O. In addition, a system module or fieldbus module from the CX2000 series can be plugged in via the high-pole connection on the left side of the device. Furthermore, the CX5300 is characterized by an electrically isolated internal power supply unit with UPS OCT capability, a built-in capacitive 1-second UPS for persistent data storage, low power consumption, and minimal heat dissipation. The CX5300 series is also among the first Beckhoff Embedded PCs available with Windows 11 2024 LTSC preinstalled from the factory.
