CP2915-1018-0010 by Beckhoff

The CP2915-1018-0010 is an industrial Panel PC manufactured by Beckhoff within the CP Panel PC Systems series. It mounts directly on machinery to present process graphics and accept operator input, while the main computer hardware can be installed safely in a control cabinet. The unit provides a durable human-machine interface that connects operators with controllers, drives, and sensors through a touch display. Beckhoff's CP-Link architecture keeps only low-power connections on the machine, reducing heat buildup and allowing the display and computer to be serviced separately.

CP-Link transports video and USB data over a maximum cable span of 100 m while supporting sustained throughput of 100 Mbit/s. Two front USB 2.0 sockets provide local connections for storage devices, input peripherals, or barcode scanners. These sockets remain protected by an IP65 front bezel, allowing them to be accessed without opening the enclosure. The internal electronics receive power from a regulated input of 22-30 V DC through a plug rated for up to 16 A. The power connection accepts conductors up to 1.5 mm², while the IP20 rear housing must remain within a protected installation area. A projected-capacitive touch layer supports multitouch gestures for machine operation and process navigation.

The unit permits continuous operation at temperatures from 0 to +50 °C, while storage is allowed between -20 and +65 °C. The front panel withstands shocks of up to 5 g for 30 ms, supporting installation on articulated arms or mobile equipment exposed to intermittent movement. Relative humidity can reach 95% without condensation, and the gasketed front surface helps prevent moisture from entering around the display. The unit has a mass of 3.7 kg, allowing it to be mounted on VESA adapters or lightweight support arms without additional bracing.
