Designed to expand physical operator control layout directly on the machine-mount level, the Beckhoff C9900-E515 provides integrated mechanical switches and signaling for CP6xxx and CP7xxx Control Panels and Panel PCs. This hardware extension mounts on the right side of 15-inch displays that do not feature built-in keyboards. It bridges the gap between software-based touch operations and safety-critical physical command interfaces, ensuring immediate tactile response for machine operators in high-reliability environments.
| Parameter | Specification Value |
|---|---|
| Manufacturer | Beckhoff Automation |
| Model / Article Number | C9900-E515 |
| Device Type | Push-button extension for Control Panels |
| Compatible Panel Sizes | 15-inch display without keyboard |
| Compatible Series | CP6x31-00xx and CP7x31-00xx Series |
| Physical Mounting Position | Right side of the host panel |
| Key Configuration | 16 square push-buttons with integrated lamps (30 x 30 mm) |
| Actuator Type | Siemens Signum square series |
| Emergency Stop Key | 1x Siemens Signum emergency stop, directly wireable |
| Control Communication Channels | CP-Link or USB (for 1st NO contact + feedback lamps) |
| Hardwired Interface | Direct terminal block row (for 2nd NO contact on push-buttons) |
| Lifecycle Phase | Service Phase (Legacy support and spare part availability) |
| Shipping Weight (Calculated) | 5.0 kg (11.0 lbs) |
| Interface Connection | Signal / Target Assignment |
|---|---|
| CP-Link / USB Bus Connection | Primary digital status feedback for 16 keys & active state of 16 signal lamps. |
| Internal Direct Terminal Block | Provides hardwired access to the second normally-open (NO) contacts for physical interlock circuits. |
| Emergency Stop Contact Blocks | Isolated, direct-wired safety-rated terminals for integration into dual-channel safety monitoring loops. |
This expansion panel is designed specifically for 15-inch displays without a built-in keyboard unit. Attempting to fit this hardware extension onto smaller (12-inch) or larger (19-inch) panels is not mechanically viable due to mounting hole spacing mismatch and physical height variations. If dealing with legacy installations, note that the internal logic boards are hard-configured for either CP-Link or USB connection protocols depending on the host panel’s input card variant.
While status signal transmission for standard push-buttons can safely run via CP-Link or USB communication, critical safety functions must never depend solely on these bus channels. The integrated Emergency Stop button and the second normally-open (NO) contacts are intentionally isolated. To ensure proper functional safety compliance (Performance Level d/e), always route the Emergency Stop contact blocks to dedicated external safety relay units or TwinSAFE input modules.
When routing auxiliary wiring from the internal terminal row, utilize shielded cables to prevent electromagnetic coupling within environments featuring large variable frequency drives (VFDs). The 30 x 30 mm Siemens Signum switch caps can be easily removed using a standardized extraction tool; when installing custom printed labels, ensure the material used can withstand operating temperatures inside closed enclosures, which can regularly reach up to 55 degC.
Align the extension frame with the right side of the CP6xxx or CP7xxx host panel enclosure, ensuring the integrated seal is positioned correctly to maintain overall ingress protection ratings.
Tighten the mounting screws evenly to the recommended torque specifications, preventing over-tightening which could distort the gasket profile.
Connect the internal ribbon or USB interface cable to the dedicated internal port on the main host board.
Route safety wiring from the Emergency Stop element and external interlocks out through the designated cable glands directly to the central control cabinet.
