The CP62xx built-in Panel PC series is designed for installation in the front of a control cabinet. The CP62xx series combines the Beckhoff Control Panel design with state-of-the-art Industrial PC technology. The right display size and keyboard are available for every application.

With their highly integrated 3½-inch motherboard the CP62xx built-in Industrial PCs represent a high-performance platform for machine construction and plant engineering applications running the TwinCAT automation software under Windows CE or Windows XP, for example.

A CP62xx Panel PC is equipped with a 1.0 GHz Intel® Celeron® M ULV processor and 64 MB Compact Flash as standard. It contains no rotating parts. The models with high-performance Intel® processors (Celeron® M 1.5 GHz or Pentium® M 1.8 GHz) feature a fan cartridge with fans with double ball bearings and speed observation. In each configuration the Panel PCs of this series are approved for ambient temperatures between 0 and 55 °C.

Above and below the rear cover an unobstructed 5 cm gap is required for air circulation.

The C62xx units are supplied with a 24 V power supply unit, optionally with integrated uninterruptible power supply (UPS). A battery pack can be connected externally and installed on a DIN rail close to the PC.

In its basic configuration the Panel PC is offered with Windows CE. With a larger Compact Flash or a hard disk Windows XP Embedded or Windows XP Professional can be installed as an option. Two Compact Flash cards or a hard disk and a Compact Flash plus the lithium battery of the system clock are accessible from the rear in the plug connector panel.

Due to its two independent Ethernet interfaces, the CP62xx is ideally suited as a compact central processing unit for an EtherCAT control system. While the 100 Mbit Ethernet port offers optimum performance for all EtherCAT control tasks, a Gigabit port is available for connecting the higher-level network. A free mini PCI slot enables different fieldbus cards or a third, independent Ethernet interface to be used. NOVRAM for fail-safe data storage can also be plugged into the mini PCI slot.
