CP6700-0001-0050 by Beckhoff

The CP6700-0001-0050 is a compact Panel PC manufactured by Beckhoff for the CP Panel PC Systems series. It integrates an ARM-based processor, display electronics, and field wiring into one enclosure so the unit can serve simultaneously as a PLC platform and human-machine interface in automated cells. When installed on a control cabinet door, the panel allows operators to issue commands, view status screens, and log process data without adding a separate industrial computer, reducing wiring and the required footprint in packaging, material-handling, or assembly equipment.

The embedded power stage runs from a nominal 24 V DC source and accepts up to 8 A through a pluggable connector, matching the low-voltage supplies already present in most machines. Two Ethernet sockets configured as 2 × RJ45 are driven by an Intel i210 controller; they support link speeds of 100/1000 Mbit/s for deterministic EtherCAT control and standard TCP/IP networking over cable lengths of up to 100 m. Four high-speed device connections are provided by 4 × USB 2.0 ports, each capable of supplying 500 mA to barcode scanners, USB flash drives, or UPS adapters. An external monitor or large-format operator station can be added through the 1 × DVI graphics interface, enabling mirrored or extended visualization without additional graphics hardware. A single CFast slot on the mainboard accommodates solid-state storage so operating system images can be exchanged quickly during maintenance.

Main memory is soldered DDR3L RAM, a low-voltage memory type that minimizes heat inside the enclosure. The aluminum rear panel has an IP20 protection rating, indicating that ventilation openings are present and that the device must remain inside a cabinet for protection from exposure; internal components can withstand 5 G shocks and 95% relative humidity during operation. Field wiring for the 24-volt feed can use conductors up to 1.5 mm², and the complete assembly weighs only 1.8 kg, easing installation on lightweight machine doors or swing arms.
