Beckhoff: Industrial PC (C6905 Series)

The C69xx Industrial PC series is designed for installation in control cabinets. The Industrial PCs of this series and a Beckhoff Control Panel with DVI and USB connection as operating unit make an ideal combination, representing a powerful platform for machine construction and plant engineering applications, for example with the TwinCAT automation software.

The C69xx Industrial PC series is designed for installation in control cabinets. The compact aluminum housing of the C69xx Industrial PCs is equipped with a 3½-inch motherboard. All PC connections are on one side of the housing. The PC can optionally be equipped with mounting plates on two sides and fastened with screws in the control cabinet. Installation is possible at the rear panel or on the right-hand side panel (see figure).

The C69xx series PCs are supplied with a 24 V DC power supply unit, optionally with integrated uninterruptible power supply (UPS). A battery pack can be connected externally and installed on a DIN rail close to the PC. Cooling fins behind the right-hand side panel enable fanless operation of the PC at temperatures up to 55 °C. The four types of Industrial PCs in the C69xx series differ in their processors and data storage devices.

Cooling of the C6915 with Intel® Atom™ with up to four cores and the C6925 with Intel® Celeron® ULV or Intel® Atom™ with up to four cores requires no fan. The basic configuration of the C6915 and C6925 features a flash disk, thus creating PCs without moving parts. A hard disk or a second flash card can be integrated in all of the PCs from this series as an option.

The C6920 with Intel® Celeron® or Core™ i3/i5/i7 of the latest generation has an easily exchangeable fan cartridge on the underside of the housing. The C6930 Industrial PC is also offered with Intel® Celeron® or Core™ i3/i5/i7 of the latest generation. It has a SATA RAID controller for mirroring two hard disks, SSDs or CFast cards. In the basic configuration, one of the two hard disk slots is equipped with a 2½ inch drive. A second hard disk is offered as an option. In addition, a CFast slot is accessible behind the front cover.

The C6920, C6925 and C6930 feature a free Mini PCI slot. The Beckhoff Mini PCI fieldbus cards for PROFIBUS (FC3151), CANopen (FC5151), DeviceNet (FC5251), SERCOS (FC7551), or a further Ethernet card (FC9151) can be used.

Industrial PCs of this series and a Beckhoff Control Panel with DVI and USB connection make an ideal combination and offer a high-performance control platform for machine construction and plant engineering applications, particularly in conjunction with the TwinCAT automation software under Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Ultimate, Windows Embedded Standard 7 or Windows Embedded Compact 7. Due to its two independent Ethernet interfaces, the C69xx is ideally suited as a compact central processing unit for an EtherCAT control system.
