BECKHOFF CP6231-0001-0070 Economy Built-in Panel PC

Description

Designed for compact, cabinet-integrated control tasks, the CP6231-0001-0070 industrial Panel PC delivers robust processing power and reliable visualization in a space-saving form factor. This built-in unit combines a high-performance 3.5-inch motherboard with flexible processor scalability, supporting 6th and 7th generation Intel Celeron, Pentium, and Core i3/i5/i7 processors. This configuration ensures seamless execution of TwinCAT control software and complex HMI visualization applications.

The mechanical design features an aluminum front panel paired with a sheet-steel rear cover, providing industrial-grade physical protection. The front display features a flush-mounted touch screen (available in 12, 15, or 19-inch options) that achieves IP65 protection, defending internal electronics against dust, moisture, and liquid ingress in harsh manufacturing environments. Dual on-board gigabit Ethernet ports and a comprehensive suite of USB 3.0, RS232, and DVI interfaces ensure reliable connectivity to field-level networks and external peripherals.

Features

• Modular processing performance supporting Intel Celeron up to Intel Core i7 configurations.
• Robust housing design with an IP65 rated aluminum front plate and IP20 steel rear housing.
• Dual 100/1000BASE-T on-board Ethernet interfaces for high-speed network integration.
• Multiple storage options including a dedicated 2.5-inch HDD/SSD slot and CFast slots.
• Pull-out clamping levers for rapid, secure installation inside control cabinet cutouts.
• Integrated SATA RAID 1 controller for enhanced data redundancy.

Applications

• Machine tool automation and visualization interfaces.
• Distributed SCADA and factory automation control stations.
• Automotive assembly line tracking and terminal displays.
• Process control systems requiring high-reliability local processing and touch-screen inputs.

Installation Guidelines

To ensure optimal thermal performance and mechanical stability, secure the Panel PC into the control cabinet cutout using the integrated, toolless pull-out clamping levers. Maintain a minimum vertical clearance of 50 mm above and below the rear housing cover to permit natural convective cooling. Connect the unit to a stable 24 V DC power source using properly shielded cables, and ensure the functional earth ground connection on the chassis is properly bonded to the main control cabinet ground terminal.
