Beckhoff CPX Series Panel Series

 

By systematically integrating advanced multi-touch technologies into its Control Panel and Panel PC portfolio, Beckhoff has provided machine builders, manufacturers and other industries with forward-looking operator interface concepts.

With the CPX Panel Series models, the proven multi-touch technology of Beckhoff Control Panels and Panel PCs is available in even more robust versions, complying with the requirements for use in hazardous areas classified Zone 2/22. The high build quality and robust aluminum enclosures ensure reliability and durability in harsh and potentially explosive environmental conditions.

The aesthetically pleasing appearance of the Beckhoff panels, and the look and feel of the aluminum housing are maintained, making them visual highlights in explosion-proof environments. The capacitive touch technology provides the typical convenient operation found on all Beckhoff multi-touch panels.

The comprehensive CPX panel range includes a large selection of display formats, sizes, installation options and features. Depending on the area of application, both the panels for control cabinet installation and stand-alone panels for flexible installation nearly anywhere in a room are available in the CPX29xx and CPX39xx series. Moreover, the fanless Panel PCs from the CPX27xx and CPX37xx series can be used for highly reliable system control

In addition to the Control Panels and Panel PCs in the CPX series, Beckhoff has also introduced the new ELX series EtherCAT Terminals with intrinsically safe interfaces for field device connection through to Ex Zone 0/20, as well as TwinCAT control software with numerous interfaces specific to process technology.

The CPX portfolio offers a wide selection of screen formats, sizes, installation options and features. The range of formats includes 15 inch (4:3), 19 inch (5:4), and 21.5 inch (16:9 widescreen) versions.
