In addition to mounting arm panel PCs and control panels in stainless steel design, built-in panels are now also available in a design that complies with the stringent requirements of the food, packaging and medical industries. The Beckhoff built-in panels in stainless steel design are designed with a gapless finish to prevent moisture deposits and contamination. In addition, a custom front laminate is available that enables them to be mounted flush in control cabinets.
Scalability with unchanged dimensions
The panels offer versatile application options, ranging from simple panels to complete control hardware in conjunction with TwinCAT automation software and with the same dimensions as the existing models:
* The CP69xx built-in Control Panel with DVI/USB extended connection can be operated up to 50 m away from the PC.
* The CP66xx built-in control panel with Ethernet port and Intel IXP420 processor can be used as an independent panel PC, remote desktop display or server terminal.
* The CP62xx built-in panel PC offers a complete control hardware in conjunction with TwinCAT. Processor choices include Intel Atom, for example, which enables configuration of a fanless panel PC thanks to low heat dissipation.
The panels as well as the stainless steel mounting arms offer IP 65 protection and are robust and customisable. They can be optionally equipped with an IP 67 USB port and in addition, custom adaptations such as a modified front laminate are possible.
