In order to extend these PC series with additional useful interfaces without impacting the design, Beckhoff has developed exceptionally compact PCIe modules based on the PCI Express standard. These modules enable the Beckhoff C6515, C6525 and C6930 control cabinet PCs and the CP62xx Panel PC series to be extended with additional interfaces such as Ethernet ports.

PC Control 04/2009 ]]> http://www.pc-control.net/english.htm 13 Nov 2009 10:00:00 The flat CP62xx built-in Panel PC series has been expanded by new variants: in addition to the multicore CPUs Intel® Core™ Duo and Core™2 Duo, the Industrial PC is now also available with Intel® Atom™ processors. The Atom™ CPUs with 1.1 or 1.6 GHz have very low processor power dissipation and reduce power consumption.

Through the integration of the Intel® Atom™ CPU, the CP62xx is now also available with 5.7- and 6.5-inch displays. With its comparatively high resolution of 640 x 480 pixels, the small display enables detailed visualisation.

CP62xx built-in Panel PC with Intel® Atom™ ]]> http://www.beckhoff.com/cp62xx/ 11 Nov 2009 12:30:00 The EP3174 EtherCAT Box has four analog inputs, which can be individually parameterised to process signals either in the range from -10…+10 V or from 0/4…20 mA. The inputs can, if required, be scaled differently, and automatic limit value monitoring is also available.
