Description

Designed for direct integration onto mounting arm installations, the Beckhoff CP3713-0020 is a high-performance industrial multi-touch Panel PC featuring a 12.1-inch widescreen display with a resolution of 1280 x 800. Encased in a rugged aluminum housing, this control terminal delivers IP65-rated protection, making it ideal for machine-level operation in harsh industrial environments. Powered by energy-efficient Intel Atom x5-E39xx processors, the device supports robust multi-finger touch interaction and relies on passive cooling technology combined with an internal fan to ensure optimal heat dissipation without dust ingress.

Key Features

  • High-Resolution Display: 12.1-inch widescreen multi-touch interface (1280 x 800 resolution) with multi-finger touch capability.
  • Rugged Enclosure: Industrial-grade aluminum housing designed specifically for mounting arm installation with a rotatable and tiltable adapter.
  • Optimized Thermal Management: Passive external cooling via integrated heat sink structures paired with an internal fan to equalize heat distribution across the housing walls.
  • Dual Storage Slots: Equipped with two slots for CFast flash memory cards to separate operating system/application data and user logs.
  • Flexible Mounting: Compatible with 48 mm tube mounting arm systems from top or bottom interfaces, including Rittal and Rolec configurations.
  • Protected Connectivity: Wiring area designed for up to four IP65-rated connectors to preserve environmental sealing.

Applications

  • Machine tool human-machine interfaces (HMI)
  • Automotive assembly line control stations
  • Food and beverage processing plant control
  • On-site monitoring in petrochemical and packaging plants

Empirical Engineering Insights

Alternative Models & Compatibility: The CP3713 platform shares performance definitions with standard CP37xx systems. Depending on the processor selection, it scales from TwinCAT 3 performance class TC3:40 (dual-core E3930) up to TC3:50 (quad-core E3940). Ensure that TwinCAT license dongles or software licenses match the exact performance class of the deployed processor configuration.

Application Pitfalls & Engineering Notes: Because this device features a completely sealed passive aluminum heat sink structure, it is critical to respect the required 20 cm (7.9 inches) free space clearance envelope around the Panel PC housing. Operating in stagnant air pockets without the specified clearance can result in localized thermal buildup, causing the processor to scale down its clock speed to prevent damage.

Commissioning & Wiring Tips: To preserve the integrity of the IP65 environmental seal, all unused connector entry points in the wiring area must be sealed using the original OEM blanking plugs. Always feed the cables through a compatible 48 mm mounting arm tube before terminating connections to avoid strain on the internal terminal board.

Installation Guidelines

CRITICAL WARNING: Prior to attempting any installation, physical modifications, or wiring adjustments to the Panel PC, ensure the entire control panel feed is completely de-energized. Allow at least 2 minutes for any residual capacitive electrical charges within the power supply filtering circuitry to safely bleed to ground.
1
Mount the Panel PC to the 48 mm tube adapter associated with the Rittal or Rolec mounting arm, ensuring all structural mounting bolts are torqued to manufacturer specifications.
2
Route the necessary power and communication cables internally through the mounting arm and feed them directly into the IP65 cable gland entries on the device's wiring interface.
3
Connect the 24 V DC power cord to the primary input terminal blocks. Ensure proper grounding wire (PE) connection to prevent high-frequency noise interference on the capacitive touch controller.
4
Close the interface compartment cover firmly, verifying that the IP65 rubber sealing gasket is fully seated and uncompressed to guarantee protection against water jet penetration.

What is the standard TwinCAT 3 performance class for the CP3713-0020?

The performance class depends on the specific processor configuration. For the dual-core Intel Atom x5-E3930, it is classified as TC3:40. For the quad-core Intel Atom x5-E3940, it is classified as TC3:50.

Does this Panel PC require active cabinet ventilation?

The system utilizes passive cooling with an external heat sink structure and an internal fan for uniform thermal distribution. While it does not require active cabinet ventilation, you must maintain a 20 cm (7.9 inches) clear air space around the housing for proper natural convection.

How is the IP65 protection rating maintained for cable entries?

The CP3713-0020 is designed with a protected wiring compartment that accommodates up to four IP65-rated push-pull connectors. Any unused entries must be sealed using certified blanking caps.

What storage media does this Panel PC support?

The system features two accessible slots designed specifically for CFast flash memory cards, supporting configurations up to 320 GB.
