The C65xx Industrial PC series is designed to be installed in control cabinets or in the rear panel of a control or console housing. The heat sink of the IPC is thereby fed to the outside through a suitable cut-out in the panel of the control cabinet. This ensures that the power dissipation of the processor and chipset is given off directly to the surroundings. Integrated seals provide for an IP 67 closure. This enables high thermal stability and at the same time fanless operation. Industrial PCs of type C6515 and C6525 can hence be constructed completely without rotating parts. In particular when installed in a control housing and in combination with Beckhoff Control Panels and TwinCAT automation software, the system becomes a powerful PLC and Motion Control system.
The compact housing is equipped with a Beckhoff 3½-inch motherboard for Intel® Core™ Duo 2.0 GHz or Core™2 Duo 2.16 GHz. All of the PC’s connectors are located on the top side of the housing. The PC’s heat sink is screwed permanently to the control cabinet and gives off its heat to the surroundings. The IPC circuitry is protected inside by a sheet-steel back cover. The C65xx series PCs are supplied with a 24 V DC 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. The PC is cooled by means of cooling fins, enabling operation at ambient temperatures of up to 45 °C. The basic configuration features a flash disk, thereby creating a PC without moving parts. A hard disk can be integrated in the C6525 as an option. It features a free Mini PCI slot. NOVRAM modules for fail-safe storage of process data can also be integrated. Furthermore, for the C6525 Mini PCI fieldbus cards for PROFIBUS (FC3151), CANopen (FC5151), DeviceNet (FC5251), or a further Ethernet card (FC9051) are possible.
Industrial PCs of this series and Beckhoff Control Panels with DVI and USB connection or Ethernet Control Panels as operating units make an ideal combination and offer a high-performance control platform for machine construction and plant engineering applications, particularly in conjunction with the TwinCAT automation software under Windows CE, Windows XP Professional, or Windows XP Embedded. Due to the two independent Ethernet interfaces, the Industrial PCs C6515 and C6525 are 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.
Core™ Duo/Core™2 Duo technology offers performance potential for the C65xx-0010 series that to date was only available for the server segment and therefore opens up new application areas. Optionally, an Intel® Core™ Duo T2500 2.0 GHz with 2 MB cache or an Intel® Core™2 Duo T7400 2.16 GHz with 4 MB cache is used. Dual-core systems are automatically recognised by TwinCAT: one of the two cores is occupied by the real-time functionality, the other one is available for Windows applications. TwinCAT core computing resources that are not used by the real-time core can be utilised by Windows. The C6525-0010 enables the installation of two hard disks, which can be mirrored using the on-board SATA RAID 1 controller with Intel® Matrix Storage Technology. If one of the hard disks fails, the system continues to run. The faulty hard disk can be replaced and mirrored during operation. The PC is thus protected from data loss.
