CP32xx Panel PC series Beckhoff Automation's newest multi-touch machine controller is an all-in-one, high-performance automation device for industrial applications.
What's new? The series. The units, which first became available in the U.S. in April, are Beckhoff's first to combine a multi-touch display with a high-power processor that can be attached to factory machinery.
Benefits Computing power and industrial strength. The Panel PC series is powerful enough to integrate and handle all functions that normally require multiple controllers. When combined with Beckhoff's TwinCat software, the series can perform all automation and control programs required on a machine — including motion and robot control and measurement functions. The technology is protected by a rugged, compact aluminum housing, which provides an integrated mounting arm and fins for passive cooling. As many as six Internet Protocol (IP) connectors can be linked to each unit.
