BECKHOFF C9900-F941 Multi-touch Control Panel Interface

Description

Designed for demanding industrial visualization environments, the Beckhoff C9900-F941 provides robust signal and interface extension for multi-touch built-in Control Panels. This interface option integrates high-speed DVI-E and USB-E 2.0 technologies, allowing operators to position control interfaces up to 50 meters away from the industrial PC without signal degradation. The physical layout utilizes standard connection protocols, ensuring the DVI-E input remains backward compatible with standard PC DVI outputs while maintaining a high-bandwidth USB transmission rate of 480 Mbit/s.

Constructed to withstand harsh industrial conditions, panels configured with this interface feature a glass front housed in stainless steel. The mechanical integration is streamlined through integrated pull-out clamping levers, enabling secure panel mounting without loose parts. This system is ideal for centralized control architectures where the computing hardware must be isolated from the machine-level user interface.

Features

• DVI-E & USB-E Integration: Enables stable video and peripheral data transmission at distances up to 50 meters from the host industrial PC.
• High-Speed USB Transmission: Supports USB-E 2.0 data rates up to 480 Mbit/s for responsive peripheral communication.
• Industrial Ingress Protection: Delivers IP65 protection on the front face and IP20 protection on the rear housing.
• Simplified Installation: Built-in pull-out clamping levers provide fast, hardware-free mounting into control cabinet cutouts.
• Flexible Connectivity: Outfitted with multiple physical ports including RJ45 for USB-E 2.0, standard DVI input, and auxiliary USB ports.

Applications

• Automotive manufacturing and assembly lines
• Oil and gas monitoring stations
• Food and beverage processing plants
• General machine tool and CNC control systems

Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the panel cutout dimensions match the specific display size chosen for the C9900-F941 installation.
• Insert the control panel into the cutout and deploy the integrated pull-out clamping levers to lock the unit securely into place.
• Verify that the front-side gasket is evenly compressed against the cabinet door to guarantee IP65 liquid and dust ingress protection.
• Maintain a minimum clear space around the rear of the enclosure to ensure passive airflow is sufficient to keep operating temperatures below 55 degC.
• For cabling runs approaching the 50-meter limit, utilize high-quality shielded DVI-E and USB-E compatible cables to prevent electromagnetic interference.
