Description
Integrating high-performance display technology with human-machine interface functionality, the Beckhoff CP2913-0010 is an industrial-grade multi-touch built-in control panel designed for demanding operator interface tasks. Operating via the proprietary CP-Link 4 connection technology, this unit allows the control panel to be positioned up to 100 meters away from the industrial PC using a single Cat.6A cable. This single-cable display link transmits DVI, USB 2.0 (at 100 Mbit/s), and power supply, simplifying field installation and wiring topology.
The mechanical design features a robust aluminum housing with a high-durability glass front, offering optimal scratch resistance and reliable operation in harsh industrial environments. User interaction is enhanced by a multi-finger capacitive touch screen, allowing intuitive multi-touch gestures. It is mounted into control cabinets or consoles using integrated pull-out clamping levers, which streamline installation without loose parts.

Installation Guidelines
-
Mounting: Insert the unit into the prepared cabinet cutout. Secure using the integrated pull-out clamping levers by tightening the screws to clamp against the back of the panel wall.
-
Cabling: Use a high-quality Cat.6A cable for the CP-Link 4 connection. Ensure the bending radius meets standard ethernet cabling specifications. Do not run the data cable parallel to high-voltage power cables to avoid electromagnetic interference.
-
Grounding: Ensure proper grounding of the control panel housing to the control cabinet's functional earth.
-
Ventilation: Maintain adequate clearance behind the rear side (IP20) to facilitate natural convection cooling.
