Beckhoff's large industrial displays

October 2010 Industrial Computer Hardware

Beckhoff has extended its control panel and panel PC series with a larger 610 mm display. The new widescreen display, with its high resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels, is ideal for complex, graphical user interfaces and for information that must be visible from a distance. The displays can be equipped with an optional touch screen and customised for maximum flexibility.

The displays are currently available in Beckhoff Panel PC variants (CP6204, CP7204) with integrated CPUs for IPC, automation, PLC and motion control tasks and as ‘display-only’ control panels (CP6904, CP7904). The compact panels from the CP7xxx series offer all-round IP65 protection and the housings of the ‘built-in’ CP6xxx panel series have protection class IP20 at the back and IP65 at the front.
