Providing tactile, hardware-level operator interaction, the Beckhoff C9900-E738 serves as a right-side mounted push-button extension engineered specifically for 15-inch CP6xxx and CP7xxx Control Panels and Panel PCs configured without integrated keyboards. This unit integrates physical manual controls directly alongside the visual interface, bridging industrial software visualization with hard-wired machine operation. It operates in the legacy service phase, serving as a critical direct-fit replacement part for existing industrial control setups.

The C9900-E738 is specifically designed to match the physical height and mounting profile of 15-inch Beckhoff displays. When upgrading legacy displays to newer Multi-touch screens, check frame layout changes, as legacy physical extensions like the E738 will not fit the physical mounting tracks of modern C9900 series panels directly without adapter brackets.
Because all signal lamps on this module operate strictly through the USB bus, critical visual safety statuses must not rely solely on these lamps. The safety-related status indications must instead be hard-wired to local indicators. Ensure your host operating system is configured to prevent USB selective suspend, which can cause keypress delays or failure to register signals.
To configure dual-channel safety loops, the primary NO contact can be monitored by the control PC via USB for functional sequencing, while the physical terminal row must be wired back directly to dedicated safety input modules (e.g., Beckhoff EL1904 EtherCAT Terminals) using shielded, twisted-pair cabling to prevent EMI issues inside high-vibration enclosures.
Isolate all electrical power sources driving the host Panel PC and safety relays before mechanical integration. Ensure the Emergency Stop circuit is independently validated using a functional safety test before commissioning the system for regular machine operation.
Align the guide pins on the C9900-E738 chassis with the mounting groove located on the right side of your 15-inch CP6xxx/CP7xxx panel.
Secure the extension module to the panel housing using the designated internal hex tension fasteners, ensuring uniform pressure to preserve IP protection ratings.
Route the integrated USB interface cable to an unused host-side port on the control PC or active hub.
Wire the secondary Emergency Stop contact loop from the rear terminal strip directly into your hard-wired physical emergency chain.
