One of the problems that control system engineers are often faced with is how to locate a PC display unit where it is required while at the same time locating the system unit in a more convenient or environmentally suitable location. Until recently it has not been practical to separate the display and system unit by more than a few metres. Beckhoff has overcome this limitation with a new member of its 'Economy' family.
The highlight of the CP79xx Control Panel series is the DVI/USB extension connection. This enables display devices to be installed at a distance of up to 50 m from the PC as standard. This series is designed for mounting arm installation and display sizes of 6,5", 12", 15", or 19" TFT are available.
The CP79xx Control Panels can be installed at a distance of up to 50 m from the PC as standard
In order to achieve a distance of 50 m without hubs, the USB signal is converted so that it can be transferred via 50 m CAT5 cables commonly used for Ethernet wiring. The signal is converted back to USB 1.1 in the Control Panel.
In addition to touch screen, membrane keyboard and pushbutton extension, a USB hub in the Control Panel enables connection of two external USB devices such as keyboard, mouse, USB stick or CD/DVD drive. The CU8800 USB to USB Extended converter box requires no auxiliary power supply. It has a USB input and an RJ45 USB Extended output. The box is offered complete with all required cables as a cable set.
