BECKHOFF CP3921-0000 Multi-touch Control Panel

Description

The BECKHOFF CP3921-0000 is a high-performance multi-touch Control Panel designed for demanding industrial environments. Built with a robust aluminum housing and a durable glass front, this Control Panel is engineered for mounting arm installation, offering direct, reliable operator interaction at the machine level. The integration of advanced multi-finger touch technology ensures highly responsive and precise operation, even in challenging industrial production spaces.

Equipped with DVI-E (DVI Extended) and USB-E 2.0 (USB Extended) connection interfaces, the BECKHOFF CP3921-0000 can be located at distances of up to 50 meters from the industrial PC. The DVI-E input remains compatible with standard PC DVI outputs, while the USB-E 2.0 channel handles fast, reliable data transmission at rates of up to 480 Mbit/s. All connections are routed through sealed IP65 connectors situated directly within the mounting terminal housing, maintaining complete protection against contaminants.

The mechanical layout of this unit facilitates flexible integration into workspace ergonomics. The connection block features four M6 threaded holes with a 100 x 100 mm pitch spacing, supporting standard mounting arm configurations. It can be paired with a rotatable and tiltable mounting arm adapter designed for 48 mm tubes, enabling easy mounting from either the top or bottom of the housing.

Features

• Highly responsive multi-finger touch screen interface.
• Robust IP65-protected aluminum housing with a cleanable, seamless glass front.
• DVI-E and USB-E 2.0 interfaces for remote installation up to 50 meters away from the host PC.
• High-speed USB-E 2.0 communication with data transmission speeds up to 480 Mbit/s.
• Flexible mounting arm configuration with rotatable and tiltable 48 mm tube adapter.
• Integrated connection block featuring secure, IP65-rated connections.

Applications

• Operator interface and HMI visualization on modern assembly lines.
• Distributed machinery control requiring remote HMI terminal placement.
• Hygienic manufacturing zones and cleanrooms requiring washdown-safe, IP65-rated enclosures.
• Industrial monitoring stations configured separate from central control cabinets.

Installation Guidelines

1. Verify that the model number matches the system plan and electrical drawings before installation.
2. De-energize all associated system components and power supplies.
3. Ensure the mounting arm tube (48 mm diameter) is securely anchored and clean.
4. Position the unit and mount it securely using the four M6 threaded holes (100 x 100 mm pitch) or the designated rotatable and tiltable mounting arm adapter.
5. Connect the specialized DVI-E and USB-E 2.0 cables, verifying that the cable lengths do not exceed the specified 50-meter limit.
6. Ensure all IP65 connectors are properly seated and threaded to retain environmental sealing.
7. Terminate the 24 V DC supply cable, verify correct polarity and grounding, and energize the system for commissioning.

Replacement Recommendations

When replacing an existing control terminal, always disconnect the 24 V DC power supply before handling any internal or external connections. Carefully document the orientation of the existing mounting arm and cable entry routing. Clean the mounting adapter before attaching the new BECKHOFF CP3921-0000 to ensure optimal sealing and a secure mechanical fit. Inspect the existing cables for mechanical wear or degradation before reconnecting them to the replacement unit.
