The fanless Beckhoff IPC portfolio scores highly in terms of variety and scalability. Fanless industrial PCs offer crucial advantages over actively cooled systems. When flash memory media are also used, no rotating components are needed.

Despite passive cooling, these PCs can also be used in industrial environmental conditions and at high temperatures. At the same time, they can also be used in reliable and noiseless applications.

Advantages of fanless IPCs

• very robust
• long service life
• noiseless operation
• reduced maintenance work
• dust and dirt resistance

Fanless embedded PCs

The DIN rail-mountable, fanless embedded PCs can be flexibly equipped with different processor performance classes.

The fanless CX8200 Embedded PC series is a further development of the CX8100 series, equipped with a faster, advanced Arm^® Cortex^®-A53 processor with 64-bit architecture. The DIN rail-mountable CX5300 Embedded PCs are equipped with the Intel^® Atom^® x6 processor series. As with all newer embedded PCs, the entire range of EtherCAT Terminals or K-bus terminals can be directly connected.

The CX5600 and CX2033 series devices are modular, expandable embedded PCs with an AMD Ryzen™ CPU. They are fanless and have no rotating components.

Fanless panel PCs

The fanless CP27xx and CP37xx Panel PC series are characterized by a modern operating concept with a multi-touch display and advanced, elegant device design. They are designed for installation in the front of a control cabinet or for installing directly on a mounting arm. The CP27xx and CP37xx combine the Beckhoff Control Panel design with advanced Intel Atom^® architectures.

Fanless industrial PCs

Beckhoff control cabinet Industrial PCs are also available in various fanless versions.

The C601x ultra-compact Industrial PCs can be equipped with the Intel Atom^® x6 series and offer maximum computing power in what is currently the most compact format with a wide range of options for installation in the control cabinet. They are ideal for control, visualization, and communication, for example into the cloud. The C70xx ultra-compact Industrial PCs in IP65 are also fanless and are particularly suitable for the implementation of advanced Industry 4.0 concepts.

The C602x series opens up new application areas and options due to the fanless integration of Intel^® Core™ i-U processors from the 15 W class.

The fanless C65xx Industrial PC series was designed for installation in the panel of the control cabinet or in the rear panel of a control or console housing. The heat sink of the industrial PC is fed out through a suitable cut-out in the control cabinet or housing panel. Power loss from the processor and chipset is dissipated directly into the surroundings. Integrated seals create an IP65 closure. This enables high thermal stability along with fanless operation.
