Beckhoff Control Panel: perfectly combines function and aesthetics on every machine or plant
Beckhoff developed the first Panel PCs for direct integration in the machine as early as the 1980s, thus opening up the possibility of efficiently combining application operation and control in a single device.
This laid the foundation for today's comprehensive portfolio of Panel PCs, Industrial PCs and Control Panels. The objective is still the same now as it was then: modern Control Panel technology in a stand-alone device, combined with a Beckhoff Industrial PC or with integrated, high-performance PC technology to form a Panel PC.
Since the end of the 1990s Beckhoff has expanded its product portfolio with a large number of Control Panels. The spatial separation of display/operating unit and control computer offers the user maximum flexibility. Thanks to CP-Link (Control Panel Link) technology, distances of up to 100 m between Control Panel and PC were already possible in 1998. Appealing design, robustness and suitability for industrial applications were importantly criteria in the development of the Control Panel series, which comes with display sizes between 5.7 and 24 inches. The control panels are suitable for installation in the front of a control cabinet (CP29xx, CP69xx) or for mounting arm installation (CP39xx, CP79xx).
The Control Panel housings are made of solid aluminum and comply with IP65 protection rating, which is generally required in industrial environments. The meticulous development and integration of electronic parts, displays, touch screens and front laminates ensures high availability and reliability in operation. Advanced multi-touch technology meets tried and tested housing technology and perfectly tuned PC hardware.
