Beckhoff CPX3719-0010 CPX Series Multi-touch Panel PC

Designed to withstand the rigorous demands of hazardous industrial locations, the **Beckhoff CPX3719-0010** combines a high-performance 19-inch multi-touch control interface with a fanless, robust computing architecture. This industrial panel PC is engineered specifically for mounting arm installation, providing a reliable operator interface directly at the machine or process site without requiring a separate control cabinet enclosure.

Key Features

• Hazardous Area Certification: Fully certified for ATEX, IECEx, and cFMus Zone 2/22 environments, ensuring safe operation in the presence of flammable gases, vapors, or combustible dust.
• High-Resolution Display: Features a 19-inch TFT display with a 1280 x 1024 resolution and capacitive multi-finger touch technology for precise operator inputs.
• Rugged Construction: Built with an IP65-rated aluminum housing and a heavy-duty glass front, protecting internal electronics from dust, water jets, and mechanical impacts.
• Fanless Thermal Management: Employs a passive cooling design that eliminates moving parts, reducing maintenance requirements and preventing dust ingress.
• Flexible Storage & Memory: Equipped with dedicated slots for CFast and 2.5-inch SSD/HDD storage, paired with high-reliability DDR3L RAM.

Applications

• Oil and Gas Processing: Safe deployment in upstream, midstream, and downstream monitoring stations.
• Chemical and Petrochemical Plants: Reliable process visualization in areas with volatile organic compounds.
• Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Cleanroom-compatible glass front design suitable for washdown environments.
• Grain and Powder Handling: Dust-ignition-proof protection for milling, packaging, and bulk material handling systems.

Empirical Engineering Insights

Alternative Models & Compatibility

The CPX3719-0010 is a direct, hazardous-area-certified alternative to standard CP3719 series panels. When replacing older CP77xx or CP79xx series units, verify the mounting arm adapter spacing, as legacy units may require an adapter plate. Additionally, ensure your TwinCAT runtime license matches the target processor performance class (Performance Level 40 for single-core E3815, or Level 50 for quad-core E3845) to avoid licensing mismatches during deployment.

Application Pitfalls & Engineering Notes

Because this unit relies entirely on passive convection cooling, thermal performance is highly dependent on mounting orientation. Mounting the panel with an upward or downward tilt exceeding 45 degrees from vertical can restrict airflow across the rear cooling fins, potentially leading to thermal throttling when operating near the 45 degC ambient limit. Avoid installing the unit in direct sunlight to prevent solar loading from exceeding the maximum rated operating temperature.

Commissioning & Wiring Tips

To maintain the IP65 environmental rating, the USB protective cover must be fully tightened with its integrated gasket intact when external USB devices are not connected. Always use high-quality, shielded Cat6 Ethernet cabling with industrial push-pull connectors. The 24 V DC power supply must be sourced from a Class 2 power supply or protected by an overcurrent protection device rated at no more than 4 A to comply with Zone 2/22 electrical safety mandates.
