With the new Control Panel and Panel PC series made of high quality stainless steel, Beckhoff has introduced control and display units that meet the strict hygiene regulations for the food, packaging and medical industries as well as for clean rooms. The stainless steel panels with IP65 protection feature virtually gapless housing design with flush mounted touch panels. The Panel PC variant is equipped with an energy efficient Intel Atom processor and represents a high-performance industrial PC with slimline housing design.
The units feature a DVI/USB port for connection to a PC. DVI/USB Extended permits the installation of the stainless steel panel up to 50 metres away from the PC. Operator comfort can be further enhanced by the optional stainless steel mounting arm adapters, which enable the customer to integrate the panel directly onto a machine. Two on-board Ethernet ports facilitate the implementation of EtherCAT in applications.
The design of the front laminate can also be customised. The result is a multifunctional operating unit that integrates seamlessly with machine designs. Push-buttons with protective caps can be implemented as control interfaces for machinery used in the food industry. The stainless steel Control Panels and Panel PCs are currently available as 300 or 380 mm touch panels.
