CP2918-1006-0011 by Beckhoff

The CP2918-1006-0011 is a fanless panel PC built by Beckhoff within the CP Panel PC Systems series. Designed as an operator station, the unit combines an industrial display with an integrated controller. It can perform machine visualization, recipe handling, and local parameter entry directly on the equipment. The fanless design avoids moving cooling components and supports quiet operation in industrial control applications.

Its widescreen display has an aspect ratio of 16:9 and measures 18.5 in, giving operators ample workspace for HMI layouts. The projected-capacitive PCT touch sensor enables multi-finger input across the native resolution of 1366 × 768 pixels. Electrical power is supplied by a nominal 24 VDC source, while the power input accepts a minimum of 22 VDC at the plug. Current through the 5-pin connector is limited to 16 A, allowing circuit protection to be matched with common control-panel power supplies. Field wiring can use conductors with cross-sectional areas of up to 1.5 mm², accommodating standard control-cabinet cabling. The wide display provides room for process trends and alarm lists to appear side by side, while the native pixel count supports clear SCADA graphics without scaling artifacts.

The housing has a front rating of IP65 and a rear rating of IP20, keeping the touchscreen sealed against dust and low-pressure water while permitting convection cooling inside the cabinet. The electronics withstand shocks of 5 G for 30 ms, supporting operation where occasional mechanical impacts may occur. The unit also tolerates vibration of 0.5 G from 58 to 500 Hz, helping it remain stable near moving machinery. It can operate at humidity levels up to 95% RH. Electromagnetic compatibility meets EN 61000-6-4 for emissions and EN 61000-6-2 for immunity, allowing installation near variable-frequency drives and switching power supplies without additional filtering. Compliance with these generic standards supports machine certification when the panel is installed in industrial or commercial settings.
