CP2915-1013-0000 by Beckhoff

The CP2915-1013-0000 is a panel-mount industrial PC manufactured by Beckhoff and supplied within the CP Panel PC Systems series. Installed on machine fronts or control cabinets, the unit combines computing power with an integrated display so that PLC programs and visualization software can run locally while operators interact directly through the front glass. By replacing separate box PCs and monitors, it streamlines human-machine interface tasks in packaging lines, processing equipment, and material-handling cells.

The built-in display measures 15 inches diagonally and presents process graphics at a native resolution of 1024 × 768 pixels. Its 4:3 image format accommodates legacy SCADA layouts and other applications designed for a conventional aspect ratio. Images reach the panel through the DVI Extended interface. The sealed aluminum front has an IP65 rating, allowing washdown on the machine side while ventilation occurs at the protected rear. The electronics operate on 24 VDC, so the panel can connect directly to common auxiliary power rails without additional converters.

Internal wiring terminates on spring-loaded clamps that accept conductors up to 1.5 mm², and the power plug remains securely latched during operation. The connector supports a minimum supply voltage of 22 V and a current limit of 16 A. The rear housing has an IP20 rating, which protects against accidental contact with internal electrical components after the unit is installed inside an enclosure. Operator input is captured by a projected capacitive touch interface with Multi-Finger Touch (PCT) recognition, allowing multiple simultaneous touch inputs. The DVI link supports cable runs of up to 50 m without signal repeaters. Two downstream USB ports and one upstream USB port are routed through an RJ45-style connection for peripheral access. The system weighs 3.7 kg, making it suitable for installation on swing arms or in flush-mounted panels.
