Control panel for visual representation and functionality of all machines
Beckhoff developed the first PC Panels for direct machine integration as early as the 1980s, thus opening up the possibility of effectively combining operation and application control in a single device.
As a combination of a Control Panel (HMI) and an Industrial Computer (IPC), the Beckhoff Tablet PC is suitable for installation in control cabinets (versions CP2xxx, CP6xxx) and for arm mounting (versions CP3xxx, CP7xxx). High-performance components make machine-level operation, control and monitoring one of the panel’s strengths, featuring an elegant housing designed for easy access to all components. and optimal use of space. A high-performance platform for every application in machine building and plant engineering that can be created from a combination of different screen sizes from 5.7 to 24 inches and a variety of additional PCs with processors from Intel Atom ® to Core™ i7.
State-of-the-art multi-touch meets tested technology and PC hardware fits perfectly.
Multi-touch technology:
To meet the high demands for mechanical stability, compatibility with harsh industrial environments, precise operation and elegant design, Beckhoff uses exclusively manufactured multipoint sensors. All the necessary control boards are developed and manufactured in-house. The result is a very robust overall system that offers modern operating comfort even in harsh machine environments.
Tech shell:
As a pioneer in Panel and Panel PC technology, Beckhoff has always relied primarily on high-quality aluminum as the base material for its products. Aluminum is characterized by very high mechanical stability, excellent thermal conductivity, high functionality even in EMC critical environments, flexible manufacturing options and last but not least, aesthetics perfect beauty. Furthermore, aluminum as the raw material also facilitates flexible mechanical processing.
Perfectly matched PC hardware:
Regardless of whether the application is a display device (HMI) or as a complete control panel PC, Beckhoff draws on his expertise in PC-based control technology, with self-developed motherboards and manufacturing. In this way, users benefit from a flexible, high-performance hardware platform with guaranteed long-term availability. The company’s own hardware is complemented by a self-developed BIOS as well as comprehensive knowledge of Microsoft operating systems and its own ultra-compact operating system, TwinCAT/BSD.
