Tutto sui PLC: la CPU
A practical engineering guide to PLC CPU operation, from deterministic scan cycles and I/O image tables to memory, communications, diagnostics, redundancy, processor sizing, and reliable system...
Designed to serve as a high-reliability human-machine interface (HMI) and control platform, the Beckhoff CP6732-0002-0060 industrial Panel PC integrates computing power directly behind a robust built-in control panel. This economy-class device features an aluminum front bezel with a sheet-steel rear enclosure, making it highly resilient against industrial environments. Powered by an Intel Atom processor on a compact 3.5-inch motherboard, the unit is optimized for TwinCAT-based PLC and Motion Control tasks while occupying minimal cabinet depth.
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Manufacturer | Beckhoff Automation GmbH & Co. KG |
| Model | CP6732-0002-0060 |
| Processor | Intel Atom x5-E39xx (Dual/Quad Core options) |
| System Memory | 4 GB DDR4 RAM (Expandable up to 8 GB ex factory) |
| Storage Slots | 1 x CFast slot (expandable to 2 x CFast or 2.5-inch SSD) |
| Interfaces | 2 x USB 3.0, 2 x USB 2.0, 1 x DVI, 2 x 100/1000BASE-T RJ45 |
| Protection Rating | Front side IP65, Rear side IP20 |
| Operating Temperature | 0 to 55 degC (ambient operating range) |
| Power Supply Input | 24 V DC (Supports integrated UPS options) |
| Country of Origin | Germany |
| Shipping Weight (Calculated) | 5.0 kg |
| Port / Interface | Functional Assignment |
|---|---|
| Ethernet (LAN 1 / LAN 2) | RJ45 ports, 10/100/1000 Mbit/s, supports EtherCAT compatibility and local IT networking |
| USB Ports (3.0 & 2.0) | External connections for input peripherals, data backup media, and commissioning interfaces |
| DVI Connection | Video output for auxiliary secondary display setups or maintenance purposes |
| Power Connector | 3-pin terminal connection for 24 V DC power supply input |
The CP6732 series utilizes the compact 3.5-inch motherboard form factor. When replacing older CP67xx series displays, confirm the physical bezel cutout parameters because newer models have slightly narrower bezel margins. Additionally, match your TwinCAT runtime license level (TC3 Performance Class 40 or 50) with the specific Intel Atom core configuration deployed inside this system configuration.
While the CP6732-0002-0060 features a fanless thermal design, it relies on passive convection cooling through the aluminum front plate and rear cover. For cabinet enclosures with high internal heat generation, ensure a clearance of at least 50 mm above and below the rear housing. Operating continuously near the upper thermal threshold of 55 degC without adequate airflow can trigger CPU throttling and degrade the lifespan of the solid-state storage.
Always use a low-impedance grounding strap from the earthing bolt of the sheet-steel rear cover to the main control cabinet ground panel. Proper functional grounding (FE) is essential to prevent capacitive noise from interfering with the touch screen controller and communication signals over Ethernet. Use shielded CAT6 cabling for both on-board RJ45 ports to minimize susceptibility to high-frequency electromagnetic interference in environments with active variable frequency drives.
