Industrial PC series C66xx

The C66xx series of Industrial PCs has been designed for control cabinet installation. Industrial PCs from this series and a Beckhoff Control Panel with DVI and USB connection or Ethernet Control Panel as operating unit make an ideal combination and offer a high-performance control platform for machine construction and plant engineering applications – particularly in conjunction with the TwinCAT automation software under Windows XP or Embedded Standard. The C66xx is ideally suited as a central processing unit for an EtherCAT control system.

The C66xx control cabinet PC series includes two devices, both of which are equipped with top-performance components with Intel® Core™2 Duo or Core™2 Quad on an ATX motherboard. Versions are additionally available with Intel® Core™ Duo and, in the case of the C6640, also with Celeron® M or Pentium® M. Three free PCI and three PCI Express x1 slots are available for plug-in cards with a length of up to 210 mm. Graphics and 10/100 Mbit Ethernet adapters are already available on-board, without taking up a slot.

All PC 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.
