Description
The BECKHOFF CP3918-0010 is a multi-touch Control Panel featuring an integrated CP-Link 4 interface for advanced industrial automation environments. Designed for deployment as a remote operator station, this panel communicates with a host industrial PC over distances of up to 100 meters utilizing a Cat.6A cable. The device combines display and touch functionalities within a specialized aluminum housing equipped with an all-around glass front, providing high durability and a sleek aesthetic for machine-level operation.
Equipped with the CP-Link 4 connection technology, the BECKHOFF CP3918-0010 transmits DVI video signals and USB 2.0 data at 100 Mbit/s, while simultaneously handling the 24 V DC power supply through the same cable infrastructure depending on the paired transmitter module. This panel integrates into industrial mounting arm systems via its dedicated connection block, supporting flexible installation options.

Installation Guidelines
Ensure that the entire control system is de-energized and locked out before beginning installation.
Inspect the aluminum housing, glass front, and M12 connectors for any signs of transit damage.
Mount the panel onto a compatible 48 mm mounting arm system utilizing the integrated connection block with the 100 x 100 mm M6 threaded hole pattern.
Connect the Cat.6A cable from the remote transmitter module to the M12 CP-Link 4 connector on the panel.
Verify that the 24 V DC power supply configuration matches the system architecture requirements before applying power.
Commission the panel by powering on the host industrial PC and verifying touch responsiveness and video display signal integrity.
