Hayes Control Systems is launching a new compact state-of-the-art Beckhoff industrial PC, the C3620, designed for installation to control cabinet walls
The built-on unit significantly simplifies the assembly and construction of industrial PC units, reducing the need for wiring, cutting build time and providing easy access for maintenance.
The PC can be simply attached to the rear of a control panel or fixed to a flexible arm support, which can be moved around the work area and positioned to suit the system operator.
Alternatively, a stand base enables the unit to be turned into a table top PC.
The new built-on unit incorporates a PC of the highest performance class housed in a rugged, IP65 aluminium casing, which has been subjected to extensive thermal and vibration testing to ensure consistent operation even in harsh industrial conditions.
Cooling of the unit is supported by cooling ribs in the outer casing wall, while a fan inside the closed housing ensures that the heat is evenly distributed and enables reliable operation at ambient temperatures of up to 45°C.
The built-on PC is supplied fully configured for connection to a slim profile CP7100 control panel with a 10, 12 or 15 inch display, which can be customised to suit each application.
The panel can be used either as a monitor or combined with function and PLC special keys, a numeric or alphanumeric keyboard or touchscreen.
For further flexibility, a bus terminal provides the potential to connect to hand wheels, potentiometers, switches, signal lamps and other components without additional wiring requirements.
