CP79xx | Economy Control Panel with DVI/USB Extended interface

In the CP79xx IP65 Control Panel range, the user can choose from a large number of options:

• diagonals from 6.5 to 19-inch
• 4:3/5:4 or widescreen format
• special PLC buttons integrated in the front laminate, F-keys up to a complete keyboard
• various connection techniques: DVI/USB-Extended technology for distances of up to 50 m between PC and Control Panel
• standard version or customized

Single-touch technology

To meet the high demands with regard to mechanical stability, the harsh environmental conditions in industry, precise operation and an elegant design, Beckhoff uses only selected single-touch screens with long-term availability for its CP79xx Control Panels. This guarantees the user a high degree of investment protection: even today, he can still use classic 4:3 formats when retrofitting his machine or for new installations. All necessary controller boards are developed by Beckhoff and manufactured in-house. This results in a very robust overall system, which enables reliable operation even in harsh machine environments.

Sturdy housing technology in a modern and high-class design

As a pioneer in PC-based automation, Beckhoff places the highest demands on the quality of its products and on their contemporary design. In order to harmonize the two, Beckhoff has been using solid aluminum as the raw material for the housings of its Control Panels since the 1990s. Aluminum offers very good mechanical, electrical and thermal properties. The simplicity of its processing also allows the manufacture of small series and enables customer-specific adaptations. Anodization produces a high-quality and durable surface. In addition to aluminum, stainless steel is also used as a basic material for some industries.

Perfectly matched PC hardware

Irrespective of the application as a display device (HMI) or as a complete Control Panel PC, Beckhoff relies on its own know-how with self-developed and manufactured motherboards. In this way, the user benefits from flexible, high-performance hardware platforms with guaranteed long-term availability. In addition, customer-specific adaptations are possible for all versions and diagonals.

Connection technology

With DVI/USB-Extended, CP79xx IP65 Control Panels can be operated at distances of up to 50 m from the PC. Apart from a graphics card or a motherboard with DVI output and the USB port available with every motherboard no additional plug-in card is required in the PC.

The CP79xx IP65 Control Panels are equipped with IP65 round connectors for the connection of the USB and DVI signals and the 24 V power supply. With the DVI/USB-Extended technology, the distance between Control Panel and Industrial PC can be up to 50 m. The DVI graphic signal is transmitted directly from the PC by a DVI-E cable. Various mounting devices for popular mounting arm systems are provided on the rear side of each CP79xx IP65 Control Panel. Simple adaptation to popular mounting arm systems is possible by means of standardized drilling dimensions, e.g., 75 x 75 mm.

Advantage at the very core: the Beckhoff Industrial PCs

Beckhoff is a pioneer in PC-based automation technology and has been developing and producing its own PC hardware since 1986. The technology know-how that has grown over the past decades is incorporated today into all Beckhoff Industrial PCs. Their principle feature is the use of state-of-the-art components and processors of the highest performance class. Combined with a high in-house production depth, including proprietary motherboard production, long-term component availability, extremely flexible configuration and customer-specific adaptations, Beckhoff presents itself today as one of the world's leading Industrial PC manufacturers.
