Beckhoff C6930 control cabinet PC offers high data security and high performance in a space-saving design.
The new C6930 control cabinet PC from Beckhoff combines a compact aluminum housing, Beckhoff motherboard designed for Intel Core Duo or Core 2 Duo, a wide range of PC interfaces, up to three Ethernet ports, eg, for EtherCAT-based controllers and optional fieldbus interfaces for conventional bus systems. The C6930 offers high data security through an integrated RAID system for mirroring hard disks.
The C69xx control cabinet PC series currently includes four devices with compact designs, ranging from the C6915 mini PC with Intel Atom CPU to the new compact C6930 IPC with impressively small dimensions of only 89 x 231 x 119 mm. Cooling fins behind the side panel enable fan-less operation at temperatures up to 55°C.
The C6930 can be used for convenient configuration of RAID applications supported by TwinCAT automation software. In addition to or instead of the hard drive, a flash disk can be integrated in the form of a Compact Flash card or a solid-state disk. The result is high data security that can be enhanced further through optional UPS functionality.
This compact control cabinet PC is ideally suited for application as a central controller in an EtherCAT-based control system. It is equipped with two standard and an optional Ethernet port and offers optimum performance for all EtherCAT control tasks.
