CP69xx Economy Control Panels

economical, high performance displays

Beckhoff Automation GmbH

The CP69xx Economy control panels offer a high-performance display ina robust aluminium housing. The DVI/USB function enables panels to be installed up to 50m from the PC. The in-built version of the CP69xx panel is available with 6.5, 12, 15 or 19 in TFT displays, optionally with touchscreen or touchpad, as monitor without keyboard or with different membrane keypad models. Built-in panels have a high-quality aluminium frame with IP65 protection at the front and act either as display devices for machine construction and system engineering applications, or as displays for production data acquisition. While Beckhoff’s CP Link enables ranges up to 100 m, the company believes the market trend for panel applications is towards using standards such as DVI (for image transfer) and USB (for input devices). The DVI/USB extension transfers graphics signals directly via a DVI cable over a maximum distance of 50m, while the USB signal is transferred to a CAT 5 cable at the PC, extending the 5m limitation of the USB specification to a distance of up to 50 m.
