CP69xx-xxxx-0010 | Economy built-in Control Panel with DVI/USB Extended interface

The CP6906/CP6900 device series are used in particular for price-sensitive applications. A comprehensive range of built-in Control Panels in a wide variety of versions is available to Beckhoff customers:

• diagonals from 7 to 19-inch
• 4:3/5:4 or widescreen format
• special PLC buttons integrated in the front laminate, F-keys up to a complete keyboard
• various connection techniques: DVI/USB for distances up to 5 meters between PC and Control Panel; DVI/USB-Extended for distances up to 50 meters
• standard version or customized

Single-touch technology

To meet the high demands with regard to mechanical stability, the harsh environmental conditions in industry, precise operation and an elegant design, Beckhoff uses only selected single-touch screens with long-term availability for its CP69xx Control Panel series. This guarantees the user a high degree of investment protection: even today, he can still use classic 4:3 formats when retrofitting his machine or for new installations. All necessary controller boards are developed by Beckhoff and manufactured in-house. This results in a very robust overall system, which enables reliable operation even in harsh machine environments.

Sturdy housing technology in a modern and high-class design

As a pioneer in PC-based automation, Beckhoff places the highest demands on the quality of its products and on their contemporary design. In order to harmonize the two, Beckhoff has been using solid aluminum as the raw material for the housings of its Control Panels since the 1990s. Aluminum offers very good mechanical, electrical and thermal properties. The simplicity of its processing also allows the manufacture of small series and enables customer-specific adaptations. Anodization produces a high-quality and durable surface. In addition to aluminum, stainless steel is also used as a basic material for some industries.

Perfectly matched PC hardware

Irrespective of the application as a display device (HMI) or as a complete Control Panel PC, Beckhoff relies on its own expertise, with motherboards developed and manufactured in-house. In this way, the user benefits from flexible, high-performance hardware platforms with guaranteed long-term availability. In addition, customer-specific adaptations are possible for all versions and diagonals.

Connection technology

With DVI/USB-Extended, economy Control Panels can be operated at distances of up to 50 meters from the PC. Apart from a graphics card or a motherboard with DVI output and the USB port available with every motherboard no additional plug-in card is required in the PC.

The CP69xx-xxxx-0010 built-in Control Panels are connected via standard USB and DVI plug connectors and have an industrial pin contact strip for the 24 V power supply. A 2-port USB socket on the rear panel enables the connection of keyboard, mouse, USB stick or CD/DVD drive. USB-Extended transmits data at 480 Mbit/s according to USB 2.0. With the DVI/USB-Extended technology, the distance between Control Panel and Industrial PC can be up to 50 m. The DVI graphic signal is transmitted directly from the PC by a DVI-E cable.

Advantage at the very core: the Beckhoff Industrial PCs

Beckhoff is a pioneer in PC-based automation technology and has been developing and producing its own PC hardware since 1986. The technology know-how that has grown over the past decades is incorporated today into all Beckhoff Industrial PCs. Their principle feature is the use of state-of-the-art components and processors of the highest performance class. Combined with a high in-house production depth, including proprietary motherboard production, long-term component availability, extremely flexible configuration and customer-specific adaptations, Beckhoff presents itself today as one of the world’s leading Industrial PC manufacturers.
