BECKHOFF C9900-F700 DVI/USB Extended Interface Module

Description

The BECKHOFF C9900-F700 is an integrated DVI/USB Extended interface module designed for BECKHOFF Control Panels. This connection interface enables the remote operation of physical operator terminals at a distance of up to 50 meters from the controlling Industrial PC. By utilizing DVI-E and USB-E 2.0 technologies, it maintains high-speed data integrity and high-resolution video signals across extended distances without requiring active intermediate repeaters.

This module acts as the physical receiver interface within the Control Panel, receiving the DVI-E video signal and transmitting bidirectional USB-E 2.0 signals. It is compatible with standard industrial PC outputs when paired with matching transmitter hardware or integrated PC interfaces, making it a reliable solution for distributed machine control architectures.

Features

• Enables remote Control Panel installation up to 50 meters from the Industrial PC.
• DVI-E technology for transmission of standard digital video signals.
• USB-E 2.0 connection facilitating high-speed USB data transfer up to 480 Mbit/s.
• Integrated RJ45 port for the USB-E 2.0 connection line.
• Supports the direct operation of standard USB 2.0 peripherals at the operator terminal.

Applications

• Distributed machine control topologies requiring remote operator interfaces.
• Industrial environments where the control computer must be isolated from the physical display point.
• Multi-axis machine systems requiring a local display panel connected to a centralized electrical cabinet.

Installation Guidelines

1. Ensure all electrical power supplies are fully disconnected and locked out before beginning installation or maintenance on the Control Panel.
2. Inspect the interface connectors on the BECKHOFF C9900-F700 for any physical damage or dust contamination prior to integration.
3. Mount the interface within the designated slot of the compatible BECKHOFF Control Panel housing, securing all physical clamping mechanisms.
4. Connect the specified high-quality DVI-E and USB-E 2.0 cables, ensuring the RJ45 connection is securely locked into place.
5. Observe the maximum 50-meter cable limit to prevent signal degradation or communication faults during operation.
6. Re-energize the host panel and configure the PC-side transmitter to verify video output and touch/USB peripheral functionality.

Replacement Recommendations

When replacing an existing connection module with the BECKHOFF C9900-F700, ensure that the transmitter side connected to the Industrial PC matches the USB-E 2.0 and DVI-E specifications. Check that the current supply voltage of 24 V DC matches the requirements of the host Control Panel assembly. Record the physical cable routing and connection points before removing the legacy unit to prevent incorrect wiring on the new interface module.
