Multi-functional, compact Panel PC for complex automation tasks
Slimline Panel PC saves space and energy thanks to Intel® Atom™ CPU

With the CP77xx series, Beckhoff extends its Panel PC family with another high-performance variant, this time based on Intel® Atom™ processors. Integrating the Atom™ CPU into the Control Panel turns the multi-tasking display device into a fully powered Panel PC with slimline design. The CP77xx has a very low housing depth between 28 and 45 mm (1.1” and 1.8”), depending on the display size. In this way, it meets user demands for a high-performance Panel PC with compact design and an affordable price.

By using the Intel® Atom™ processor for the CP77xx Panel PCs, Beckhoff continues its effort to integrate the smallest available CPUs from Intel in its Industrial PC products.

The PC is integrated into a slimline Control Panel housing and is equipped with a 6.5, 12, 15 or 19" display. Users are therefore offered a high-performance device, even in the compact 6.5" format. The user benefits not only from the slimline design paired with high computing power, but also from significant energy savings due to the low power consumption of the Atom™ CPU.

The Panel PCs feature robust, industrial design with IP 65 protection and are available with Intel® Atom™ 1.1 or 1.6 GHz processors. They are ideal for high-performance control platforms for machine builders and plant engineering applications. The CP77xx is equipped with a Compact Flash card, which is easily accessible under a cover in the rear panel. It requires no fan and is a solid state device containing no rotating parts. The Panel PC comes with two RJ 45 Ethernet connections and an RS232 interface in the rear panel as standard. A 2-port USB interface is available as an option. Further equipment options enable users to take optimum advantage of the housing design according to individual requirements.
