Product Description

Description

Facilitating high-performance visualization at extended physical distances, the Beckhoff C9900-F305 serves as an integrated DVI/USB Extended interface option for industrial Control Panels. This interface module overcomes standard cable limitations by converting visual and input signals for transmission over long distances, allowing the operator interface to be positioned directly at the machine while the industrial PC remains protected within a centralized control cabinet. Utilizing robust physical connectors, the C9900-F305 ensures lag-free display updates and reliable peripheral data rates across the entire connection span.

Features

  • Extended Range Connectivity: Integrates DVI-E and USB-E 2.0 technologies to transmit video and USB signals up to 50 meters without signal degradation.
  • High-Speed USB Transmission: Supports USB-E 2.0 protocol with physical layer transfer rates reaching up to 480 Mbit/s.
  • Standard Compatibility: DVI-E input remains completely compatible with standard PC DVI graphics outputs when used with appropriate transmitter units.
  • Direct Connection Interface: Features a standard USB 2.0 input for short-range configurations (up to 5 meters) directly to standard PC USB ports.
  • Integrated Hub: Provides downstream USB 2.0 ports at the panel for direct connection of human interface devices (HID) like keyboards, mice, or flash storage.

Applications

  • Automotive Assembly Lines: Separation of control PCs from harsh vibration zones on the factory floor while retaining local operator control.
  • Cleanroom Environments: Housing processing units outside controlled zones while routing thin, easily-sealed cables to the local display interface.
  • Distributed HMI Topographies: Applications requiring multi-station visualization connected to a single, high-performance master industrial PC.

Empirical Engineering Insights

Alternative Models & Compatibility

The C9900-F305 is specifically designed to match CP69xx built-in Control Panels or corresponding custom industrial monitors from Beckhoff. When retrofitting older setups, verify that the transmitter module on the industrial PC side (such as a CU8801 or matching PCIe transmitter card) supports the same USB-E 2.0 specifications to prevent baud-rate downshifting or device dropouts.

Application Pitfalls & Engineering Notes

While standard RJ45 networking hardware is used for physical connectivity of the USB-E 2.0 signal, this path is not an Ethernet network. Do not route the USB-E 2.0 RJ45 cable through network switches, hubs, or routers. Doing so will permanently damage the active routing hardware and prevent transmission. Always use a continuous, direct physical cable between the transmitter and the C9900-F305 module.

Commissioning & Wiring Tips

For installations approaching the 50-meter limit, use highly shielded Cat.7 STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) cables with metallic RJ45 plugs. Grounding the shield properly at the panel entry point is crucial to suppress EMI from adjacent VFD motor lines or high-voltage power paths within the cable tray.

Installation Guidelines

CRITICAL WARNING: electrical isolation

Disconnect all 24 V DC power supplies before initiating panel installation or cable modification. Verify that the system's power supply is fully de-energized to prevent ESD or sudden voltage spikes across the active DVI-E and USB-E interface transceiver chips.

1
Mechanical Mounting: Secure the Control Panel housing into the machine cutout using the pull-out clamping levers. Ensure the IP65 rubber sealing ring on the front bezel lies flat against the clean mounting surface.
2
DVI-E Video Routing: Connect the dedicated DVI-E cable to the DVI input port. Ensure the locking screws on the DVI connector are tightened hand-tight to secure electrical shield continuity.
3
USB-E Extension Hookup: Terminate your shielded Cat.7 line into the RJ45 port for long-distance USB extension. For setups within 5 meters, bypass this and use the USB Type B input connected directly to the IPC.
4
Power Supply Initialization: Secure the 24 V DC supply leads to the terminal strip block. Confirm correct polarity (+24V, 0V, and Ground/PE) before restoring supply power.

FAQ
What is the maximum cable distance supported by the C9900-F305?
The C9900-F305 supports transmission distances of up to 50 meters between the host industrial PC and the Control Panel using DVI-E and USB-E 2.0 configurations.
Can I route the USB-E 2.0 RJ45 cable through an active network switch?
No. The USB-E 2.0 signal uses standard RJ45 physical cabling but is not an IP protocol. Direct point-to-point connection is required; connecting to network hardware will cause hardware damage.
Does this interface require separate auxiliary power?
The interface operates on the integrated 24 V DC power input supplied to the main Control Panel assembly, ensuring simplified terminal field wiring.
What kind of cable is recommended for the 50-meter run?
High-quality, shielded Cat.7 STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) copper cabling with metal-shielded RJ45 terminations is recommended to maintain reliable communication rates in noisy EMI environments.
