Description
Engineered for high-performance industrial control and visualization, the Beckhoff CP6502-0021-0090 functions as a highly integrated built-in Panel PC designed to meet demanding operational requirements. This unit features a 15-inch TFT display with a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels, providing clear visual readouts and status monitoring in harsh factory environments. Encased in a rugged ATX housing, it incorporates pull-out clamping levers that enable rapid, toolless installation directly into control cabinet doors or console panels.
The processing architecture is built around a scalable industrial ATX motherboard supporting various processor classes from Intel Celeron up to Intel Core i7. System expansion is simplified through multiple integrated PCIe and PCI slots, accommodating diverse fieldbus communication cards, custom I/O, and motion control interfaces. Dual on-board Gigabit Ethernet interfaces and an integrated SATA RAID 1 controller ensure seamless data integration and high system availability across distributed industrial control networks.
Features
- 15-inch industrial-grade display with a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels.

Installation Guidelines
-
Mounting Method: Install into the cutout of the control cabinet or operator console using the built-in, pull-out clamping levers. Ensure the seal sits flat against the mounting surface to achieve front-side IP65 ingress protection.
-
Thermal Management: Maintain a minimum clearance of 50 mm around the top, bottom, and side ventilation openings of the rear chassis to allow proper cooling air circulation. Do not exceed the maximum ambient operating temperature of 55 degC.
-
Grounding and Shielding: Connect a low-impedance functional earth ground strap to the designated grounding point on the rear ATX chassis to mitigate electromagnetic interference (EMI).
-
Power Connection: Ensure source voltage matches the installed power unit (100 to 240 V AC or 24 V DC) before energizing the device. Route power cables separately from high-voltage motor control lines.
