The CP72xx “Economy” Panel PC series is designed for mounting arm installation. Control Panels form the front of the IP 65 Panel PC. The right display size and keyboard are thus available for every application. The CP72xx Industrial PCs represent a powerful platform for use in machine and plant construction, for example using the TwinCAT automation software under Windows Embedded Standard or Windows XP Professional.
The PC can be equipped with a 12-, 15-, 19- or 24-inch LC display as a monitor without keys or with different types of keyboards. Optionally, a touch screen or touch pad is available. In addition, a large number of push-button extensions are available.
Cooling is achieved via cooling ribs between the Control Panel and the add-on PC. A fan inside the closed housing ensures that the heat is distributed evenly. The PC can be operated at up to 45 °C ambient temperature.
The housing is designed for installation on a mounting arm. There is a choice of attaching the mounting arm from above or below. The Panel PC features an integrated rotatable mounting arm adapter for a 48 mm diameter mounting arm tube. Optionally, a rotatable and tiltable mounting arm adapter can be integrated in the Panel PC. The connecting cables are laid through the mounting arm.
The compact aluminium housing of the CP72xx Panel PCs is equipped with a 3½-inch Beckhoff Motherboard for Intel® Core™ Duo or Core™2 Duo.
The Industrial PC connections (up to six) with IP 65 connectors are positioned in the large wiring space and are easily accessible. The wiring area can be opened easily without dismounting the device from the mounting arm, offering fast access to the IP 65 connectors for power supply, Ethernet and optional fieldbus, USB or RS232. Prefabricated cables in various lengths are available for all connections.
Due to its two independent Ethernet interfaces the CP72xx 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.
The C72xx series Panel PCs 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 in the control cabinet.
One or two Compact Flash Cards or up to two SATA hard disks, as well as the lithium battery for the system clock, are accessible from the rear side underneath a cover. Two hard disks can be mirrored using the on-board SATA RAID 1 controller.
There is a Mini PCI slot in the CP72xx. The Beckhoff Mini PCI Ethernet or fieldbus cards can be factory-fitted. NOVRAM up to 512 kB is also available in the form of an optional Mini PCI plug-in card for fail-safe data storage.
