What Is SCADA? Supervisory Control Without Replacing the PLC
SCADA sits above PLCs and RTUs: it acquires field data, alarms operators, and issues supervisory commands across plants and remote assets—without replacing local deterministic control.

Designed for seamless integration into control cabinet doors and operator consoles, the Beckhoff CP6723-0002-0050 serves as a space-saving industrial computing platform. This unit combines a 12.1-inch TFT display with a fanless Intel Atom processing architecture, providing a reliable operator interface for localized control tasks. Constructed with a robust aluminum front bezel and a protective sheet-steel rear cover, the hardware is built to withstand continuous operation in demanding manufacturing environments.

The CP6723-0002-0050 utilizes an Intel Atom E3815 single-core CPU, positioning it within TwinCAT Performance Class 40. When swapping this module with legacy CP67xx systems, verify your existing TwinCAT licensing. Moving execution from multi-core systems (such as the E3845-powered variants in Performance Class 50) to this single-core unit requires task reassignment within TwinCAT System Manager to prevent CPU overruns.
Because this Panel PC relies purely on passive convection cooling, it is imperative to maintain a minimum of 50mm clearance above and below the rear chassis within the control panel. Mounting the unit directly above high-heat emitting devices like variable frequency drives (VFDs) can compromise the passive heat sink performance and cause CPU thermal throttling above 55 degC ambient internal temperatures.
Always route the 24V DC input supply through a dedicated, class-2 isolated power supply. Ground loop noise on the protective earth (PE) path can disrupt resistive touch controller signal stability. It is recommended to connect a low-impedance ground strap directly from the functional earth pin of the power connector to the main panel grounding bus.
Prepare the panel cutout to the exact dimensions of the 12.1-inch display bezel as defined in the Beckhoff engineering cabinet layout drawings.
Verify that the rubber front seal is completely seated and free of twists on the aluminum front bezel to guarantee an IP65 moisture-tight seal.
Push the unit through the cutout from the front side, then latch and secure the integrated pull-out clamping levers from the rear until the unit is flush-mounted.
Connect the functional ground terminal to the backplate, wire the 24 V DC power plug, and connect necessary Ethernet communications interfaces.
