PC Control Cabinet

Industrial PC for control cabinet installation C61xx

The C61xx series of Industrial PCs has been designed for control cabinet installation. The Industrial PCs of this series and the Beckhoff Control Panel 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 under Windows 2000 or Windows XP.
The right Industrial PC for every application
The C61xx control cabinet PC series comprises five devices of different sizes, all equipped with maximum performance class components with Intel® Celeron®, Intel® Pentium® M or Pentium® 4 processor on a slot motherboard for Pentium® M or ATX motherboards for Pentium® 4 or Pentium® M. The series provides the appropriate Industrial PC for every application, according to the available installation space. All the PCs in the C61xx series are constructed according to a uniform plan, optimised for the exploitation of available space and easy accessibility of all components.

The computing power can be upgraded with anything that the PC market has to offer in the highest performance class. The construction of the housing for the C61xx series ensures long-term compatibility with any new PC components that appear over the next few years. If, in a few years, the Industrial PC needs to be upgraded, you swap the motherboard, the processor, the memory or the hard disk, but the housing remains unchanged and is compatible with the technology of the future. The RAM can be extended from 256 MB DDR RAM up to 2 GB.

All the PC‘s connections face upwards, so that the connecting cable can be taken directly to the wiring channel. The side walls are completely passive and allow the Industrial PC to be fitted immediately next to other control cabinet devices.

The housing permits fast access to the fitted components. After removing the front cover, plug-in cards and drives are freely accessible. Both floppy and hard disks are held by spring-loaded ball catches and can be removed in a single action. Three screws must be undone, after which the PC‘s inner chassis, to which all the components are attached, can be removed from the outer housing. The inner chassis can be placed on a table in any orientation for maintenance purposes. When removed, the inner chassis still has the full function of a PC and can be operated with a standard monitor and a standard keyboard.

The C61xx series PCs are supplied with a 100-240 V AC full range or 24 V DC power supply unit. An industrial latching socket strip is used for the power supply.

All drives available both today and in the future, such as hard disks of any capacity, floppy drives, CD/DVD-ROM, multi DVD 4.7 GB and other drives, can be fitted. Top performance hard disks operate at high spin rates of around 10000 r.p.m. or 15000 r.p.m. and require supplementary cooling. A bay that can be fitted with an additional fan is provided for this purpose in the C6130, C6140 and C6150 computers.

Card holders for the plug-in cards generate insensitivity to shocks and vibrations. The card holders can be fixed and removed without tools.

Additional slot brackets offer room to connect interfaces to the outside without occupying the space for real slots. A type plate is located on the front cover behind an inspection window, giving detailed information about the configuration of the PC. Data on the function, type and use of resources such as memory areas and interrupts is listed for the fitted plug-in cards. Data about drives indicates not just the manufacturer and type, but also provides information about type of connection and jumpers.
