With the new CP72xx Panel PC, Beckhoff offers a mounting arm industrial PC with all-round IP 65 protection. The water- and dust-proof IPC in an aluminium housing features a motherboard developed by Beckhoff that enables very lean housing design with a housing depth of only 98 mm. The large variety of control panels available results in 38 IP65 Panel PC variants. The CP72xx can be supplied with 12", 15" or 19" TFT displays, optionally with touch-screen or touch-pad. A wide range of front designs is available, including simple displays without keys, front panels with function keys or numeric keyboard, or a full alphanumeric keyboard including special PLC keys. Customised front membranes can also be provided.
The CP72xx Panel PC from Beckhoff
Variable mounting arm installation and configuration
The case features an integrated, rotating and swivelling mounting arm adapter that enables suspended mounting or installation on a stand. The CP72xx connection cables are routed directly through the mounting arm. The Industrial PC connections with IP65 connectors are positioned in the large wiring space and are easily accessible. The connection section can be opened quickly without having to remove the device from the mounting arm. Due to its two independent Ethernet interfaces, the CP72xx is ideally suited as a compact central processing unit for an EtherCAT control system. A Gigabit port is available for the connection to the higher-level network.
The C72xx series Panel PCs are supplied with a 24 V power supply unit, optionally with integrated uninterruptible power supply and an external battery pack. In its basic configuration the Panel PC is offered with Windows CE. The modular device design enables two hard disks or a combination of Compact Flash card and hard disk to be used.
Straightforward integration of conventional fieldbuses
The CP72xx features a free Mini-PCI slot. If the free slot is used for a Beckhoff Mini-PCI fieldbus card, the CP72xx becomes a high-performance master for conventional fieldbus systems such as PROFIBUS, CANopen, DeviceNet, or SERCOS interface.
