• Dimensions (W x H x D): Compact, varies slightly based on specific configuration.

• Mounting: DIN rail or mounting plate.

Product Advantages

• High Reliability & Durability: Fanless design, robust industrial components, and solid-state storage (SSD/CFast) minimize moving parts and increase resilience against vibration, shock, and dust. Ideal for harsh industrial environments.

• Compact Footprint: Space-saving design allows for easy integration into control cabinets, even those with limited space.

• Real-time Capabilities: When combined with TwinCAT automation software, it provides deterministic real-time control, making it suitable for demanding motion control and robotics applications.

• Scalable Performance: Available in various CPU and memory configurations, allowing users to select the right performance level for their specific application needs.

• Flexible Connectivity: Multiple standard and optional interfaces ensure seamless integration into diverse network architectures and with various field devices.

• Long-term Availability: Beckhoff typically ensures long-term availability of their industrial PC components.

• Integration with TwinCAT: Optimized for seamless integration with Beckhoff's TwinCAT automation software, offering a unified platform for PLC, Motion Control, HMI, and IoT functionalities.

Precautions

• Power Supply: Use a stable, regulated 24 V DC industrial power supply with sufficient current capacity. Observe correct polarity.

• Mounting: Mount the PC securely according to Beckhoff's instructions, ensuring proper ventilation (even for fanless units, heat dissipation through the casing is critical). Avoid mounting in direct sunlight or near strong heat sources.

• Environmental Conditions: Operate the PC within its specified temperature and humidity ranges. Avoid excessive dust, moisture, and corrosive gases.

• Grounding: Proper grounding is crucial for reliable operation and EMC compliance.

• Software Installation & Updates: Only install approved operating system images and software versions. Perform system and TwinCAT updates according to Beckhoff guidelines to ensure compatibility and stability.

• ESD Protection: Always observe electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions when handling the PC, especially when installing or replacing components.

• Data Backup: Regularly back up the operating system, TwinCAT projects, and application data, especially before any significant changes or updates.

• Cooling (even fanless): Ensure adequate airflow around the unit, as fanless PCs rely on convection and the housing for heat dissipation. Do not block vents or restrict airflow.
