{"id":"beckhoff-cx2072","model_id":"CX2072","name":"Beckhoff CX2072","summary":"The Beckhoff CX2072 is an embedded PC CPU module in the CX2000 series. It uses an Intel Xeon D-1567 12-core processor at 2.1 GHz with 8 GB DDR4 RAM and boots from a CFast card. It runs Windows 10/11 IoT Enterprise or TwinCAT/BSD and supports TwinCAT 3 automation tasks distributed across CPU cores.","study_notes":["12-core Intel Xeon D-1567 CPU; TwinCAT 3 can distribute automation tasks across the CPU cores.","Main memory is 8 GB DDR4 RAM; ex-factory options CX2900-0205, -0206 and -0207 expand it to 16, 32 or 64 GB.","Boots from a CFast card; the CFast slot is provided but no card is included.","Internal 128 kB NOVRAM acts as persistent data memory when no UPS is used.","Up to two mass storage modules (CX2550-0010 CFast or CX2550-0020 2½-inch SSD) can be plugged between power supply and CPU, for up to three mass storage devices total.","CX2000 series system modules can be connected on the left or right; internally they connect via PCI Express.","Supported operating systems include Windows 10 IoT Enterprise, Windows 11 IoT Enterprise 2024 LTSC and TwinCAT/BSD.","TwinCAT 3 runtime (XAR) is preinstalled without licenses; licenses must be ordered separately.","Minimum CFast capacity: 20 GB for TwinCAT/BSD and Beckhoff RT Linux, 40 GB for Windows 10 IoT Enterprise; Windows 11 IoT Enterprise needs at least 80 GB disk space.","Optional interfaces include EtherCAT master/slave, PROFINET RT controller/device, PROFIBUS master/slave, CANopen master/slave, RS232/RS485/RS422 and additional Ethernet ports.","Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2016 LTSB extended support has ended; security updates are no longer available.","Cooling is by an integrated fan with ball bearings and speed monitoring."],"safety_notes":["Approvals/markings: CE, UL."],"sources":[{"url":"https://www.beckhoff.com/en-en/products/ipc/embedded-pcs/cx20x2-intel-r-xeon-r-d/cx2072.html","title":"Embedded PC with Intel® Xeon® D-1567","accessed":"2026-10-25"}],"verification":{"status":"source_checked","checked_at":"2026-10-25","values":9,"method":"llm_source_check"},"updated_at":"2026-10-25","type":"hardware","spec":{"category":"embedded_pc","manufacturer":"beckhoff","controllers":[],"weight_kg":1.65,"ethernet_ports":2,"processor":"Intel® Xeon® D-1567 2.1 GHz","supply_voltage":"24 V DC (-15%/+20%)","power_consumption_kw":0.13,"ip_rating":"IP20","operating_temp_min_c":-25,"operating_temp_max_c":50,"joints":[],"protocols":[],"standards":[],"error_codes":[]},"url":"https://machineschema.com/hardware/beckhoff-cx2072","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"}
