Extending the product range, upwards and downwards

Beckhoffs extensive Control Panel offering now includes six different display sizes as well as a wide range of options for both form and function. The 640 x 480 pixels in the new 6.5 inch TFT display offer high-resolution in a small area. The display is integrated into an extremely compact Control Panel housing, whose resolution makes it easy to operate through Microsoft Windows, and still can display easily readable text. Connection to the PC can be made by means of CP-Link technology or DVI/USB interface.With CP-Link the PC can be up to 100 m apart, or via DVI/USB, offering an economical solution for connections up to 5 m apart. The Ethernet Control Panel offers a new option, where a 266 MHz processor PC is integrated into the 38 mm deep housing. This location-independent version can be operated as an independent PC or as a terminal client to a Windows terminal server.

18 and 20 inch TFT displays for complex visualizations
The new 18.1 inch TFT display, with its 1280 x 1024 pixels, offers a large working area for the display of complex graphics and for the presentation of detail images at high resolution. The larger version, a 20.1 inch TFT display with a resolution of 1600 x 1200 pixels, has a 24 bit color depth, corresponding to 16.7 million colors. The Control Panel picture remains sharp because of the digital connection technology. The user can choose from a wide range of available front designs; from a display with no keyboard, optionally with a touch screen, up to a display with a full PC keyboard and with customer-specific design. The 18.1 and 20.1 inch Control Panels are connected to their PCs via a USB/DVI interface.

Many variations with the add-on PC
In addition to the options mentioned, all Control Panel types can be extended through the use of the add-on PC to form a complete Industrial PC of compact form. In the case of the built-in Control Panel series, the add-on PC CP63xx, CP64xx or CP65xx, is mounted at the rear (additional information on page 10). The Control Panel CP7000 for wall or bracket mounting can be extended by means of an add-on PC CP7100 with a freely selectable front design.
