Description

The BECKHOFF CP6613-0001-0020 is a high-performance built-in Panel PC designed for demanding industrial visualization and control tasks. Integrating a high-resolution 19-inch display and an energy-efficient ARM Cortex-A8 processor, this controller functions as a reliable Human-Machine Interface (HMI) directly on the machine or inside control cabinet doors. It offers a compact, space-saving design with a durable aluminum front and a protective sheet-steel rear cover, engineered specifically for rugged industrial environments.

Equipped with a 1 GHz ARM Cortex-A8 processor and 1 GB of DDR3 RAM, the BECKHOFF CP6613-0001-0020 executes PLC and visualization tasks seamlessly under the Windows Embedded Compact 7 operating system. For networking and fieldbus communication, the device features onboard Ethernet and integrated EtherCAT connectivity. Reliable data protection is enhanced by a non-volatile 128 kB NOVRAM, allowing critical process variables to be saved securely in the event of a power fluctuation.

Installation is simplified via pull-out clamping levers, enabling secure panel mounting without loose parts. This configuration minimizes setup downtime and ensures a vibration-resistant fit. The device’s passive, fanless cooling design eliminates moving wear-and-tear parts, leading to high system availability and lower maintenance overhead over its operating lifetime.

Features

• 19-inch active matrix TFT display with a clear resolution of 1280 x 1024 pixels.
• Robust, responsive single-finger touch screen for simple and precise operator entry.
• Efficient ARM Cortex-A8 processor clocked at 1 GHz for executing local automation and communication tasks.
• Equipped with a 1-second capacitive UPS to prevent data loss during power disruptions.

Installation Guidelines

1. Ensure that the power supply to the control panel area is completely de-energized before beginning installation.
2. Verify the dimensions of the cabinet door cutout correspond exactly to the layout dimensions for the 19-inch CP6613 series.
3. Carefully insert the Panel PC from the front of the cutout to avoid scratching the display surface or damaging the seal.
4. Engage and tighten the integrated pull-out clamping levers on the rear of the device to secure it in place without loose components.
5. Establish the protective earth ground connection to the chassis grounding terminal before connecting communication or power leads.
6. Route the 24 V DC supply and communication cables through proper strain reliefs, ensuring they are isolated from high-voltage cables to reduce electrical interference.

Replacement and Migration Recommendations

When replacing an existing unit with the BECKHOFF CP6613-0001-0020, first back up all application code, TwinCAT licenses, and active configurations from the existing storage card. Power down the system completely before removing the old hardware. Ensure that the microSD card containing the correct operating system and runtime image is seated correctly in the new unit before initial startup. Verify IP addresses and network configuration during the first boot to ensure proper host communications.
