C6025-0010 by Beckhoff

The C6025-0010 is a compact industrial computer produced by Beckhoff as part of the C6 Industrial PC Units series. Designed for cabinet installation in automated production lines, the device runs control algorithms, supervisory functions, and human-machine interface software used to coordinate drives, sensors, and higher-level networks. Its aluminum-zinc die-cast housing protects the internal electronics from accidental contact, while a completely passive thermal design transfers waste heat to the enclosure without fans. This fanless arrangement reduces maintenance requirements in material-handling cells, packaging stations, and process skids.

Processing capability centers on an Intel Celeron 6305E processor operating at 1.8 GHz. Its two cores support deterministic multitasking with real-time Windows or TwinCAT runtimes, allowing the computer to execute PLC logic, motion control, and visualization tasks concurrently. The system includes 8 GB of DDR4 RAM, providing memory for cyclic data sets, visualization buffers, and industrial communication stacks. A finned internal frame conducts thermal energy from the processor and memory toward the outer housing, helping the components maintain stable operating temperatures inside the cabinet.

Application data and operating systems are stored on a 40 GB M.2 SSD installed in the computer's NVMe-compatible storage interface. The front panel provides four USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports, with data rates of up to 10 Gbps for cameras, storage devices, and other compatible peripherals. Network connectivity consists of two 2.5 GbE ports and one 1 GbE port, allowing fieldbus communication and plant network traffic to use separate interfaces. The system receives control power from a 24 V DC supply and includes one DisplayPort connection for a local monitor. Its enclosure measures 82 mm wide, 127 mm high, and 47 mm deep, allowing installation in narrow control cabinets while leaving the front connections accessible. The enclosure carries an IP20 rating, which protects against contact with hazardous internal parts and ingress by solid objects larger than 12.5 mm but does not provide water protection.
