The Beckhoff CX2100-0014 is a dedicated power supply unit designed for the CX20xx Embedded PC series, ensuring stable and reliable energy delivery for industrial automation applications. With its compact form factor, integrated diagnostics, and intelligent display features, this power module not only delivers power but also provides essential monitoring and system management functions.

Operating on a 24 V DC input (with a tolerance of -15% to +20%), the CX2100-0014 supplies up to 130 W of power, making it suitable for powering both the Embedded PC and connected I/O modules. Its robust design ensures reliable operation in demanding industrial environments where consistent voltage and power delivery are critical for automation performance.

The unit includes a built-in FSTN display (2 lines, 16 characters, illuminated), which provides real-time system information directly on the module. This allows engineers and operators to quickly view power supply conditions, system messages, or basic diagnostics without needing additional tools. Such integrated visibility helps reduce downtime by simplifying troubleshooting and maintenance tasks.

In addition to the display, the CX2100-0014 is equipped with diagnostic LEDs that provide immediate feedback on key system states:

PWR LED: Indicates the overall power status.

I/O Run LED: Shows active communication with the connected I/O bus.

I/O Err LED: Alerts users to errors or irregularities in I/O operation.

These visual indicators allow for quick assessment of system health, improving system transparency and reducing the time required for issue identification.

The power supply is designed to support both E-bus and K-bus communication systems, supplying up to 2 A to the I/O bus. This ensures stable operation of connected I/O terminals, even in larger configurations. With a maximum power consumption of 10 W for the bus and a maximum power loss of just 3.5 W, the CX2100-0014 delivers efficient energy management alongside reliable performance.

Weighing only a few hundred grams and built with Beckhoff’s robust industrial standards, the CX2100-0014 integrates easily into control cabinets without taking up excessive space. Its compact design, coupled with its multifunctional capabilities, makes it a practical choice for engineers who need both power delivery and integrated monitoring in a single unit.

In real-world applications, the CX2100-0014 is widely used in manufacturing, process control, and building automation, wherever CX20xx Embedded PCs are deployed. By combining power delivery, monitoring, and diagnostic functions, it simplifies system design, reduces component count, and enhances reliability.

In summary, the Beckhoff CX2100-0014 is more than just a power supply unit—it is an intelligent and reliable system component for the CX20xx series. With its 130 W capacity, integrated display, diagnostic LEDs, and support for E-bus/K-bus systems, it provides a robust and efficient solution for powering and monitoring Embedded PC-based automation systems.
