Atom processors from Intel have enhanced the scalability of PC-based control technology. The smallest CPU currently offered by Intel forms the centrepiece of the new C6915 control cabinet PC. It is now the most compact Beckhoff IPC, measuring only 47 x 157 x 116 mm.
The space-saving aluminium housing of the C6915 Industrial PC is equipped with a motherboard for 1,1 GHz or 1,6 GHz Intel Atom processors. Cooling is achieved through the PC’s aluminium surface and enables operation at temperatures up to 55°C. The basic, solid state configuration of the C6915 features a flash disk, which means it has no moving parts and requires no fan. Optionally, a hard disk or a second CompactFlash card can be integrated.
The C6915 extends the successful C69xx control cabinet PC series, which is available in different performance classes ranging from Intel Celeron M ULV 1,0 GHz (C6925) to Core2 Duo 2,16 GHz (C6920). Industrial PCs from this series paired with a Beckhoff control panel with DVI and USB connection or an Ethernet control panel provide a high-performance control platform for machine builders and plant engineering applications – particularly when used in conjunction with TwinCAT automation software. Due to its two independent Ethernet interfaces, the C6915 is ideally suited as a compact central processing unit for an EtherCAT control system.
