The centrepiece of the CP6608 is a Beckhoff motherboard with a 266MHz Intel IXP420 processor with XScale technology.

Beckhoff has added the CP6608 Ethernet control panel to its Economy series.

The panel features an integrated PC with an Intel IXP420 processor and several interfaces, making it suitable for industrial applications as well as building automation.

It has a 5.7-inch display, which is optionally available as a touch screen.

It complements the existing CP66xx series with a more compact version.

The user now has a choice among versions with 5.7, 6.5, 12, 15 or 19-inch displays.

The centrepiece of the CP6608 is a Beckhoff motherboard with a 266MHz Intel IXP420 processor with XScale technology.

The CP6608 has 32Mbyte of flash on-board and 128Mbyte of on-board RAM included as standard.

Two Ethernet ports with 10/100BASE-T, two fast USB 2.0 ports and a serial RS232 port are available as external interfaces.

Windows CE is used as the operating system.

The Ethernet Control Panel can be operated as a stand-alone PC or as a terminal client of a Microsoft Windows terminal server.

In conjunction with the Beckhoff TwinCAT automation software, the CP6608 becomes a very compact, "all-in-one" controller and display for machine construction and system engineering applications.

At the same time, it is suitable for building or room control applications in industrial buildings, hotels, offices and domestic buildings.

The built-in Control Panel CP6608 with an aluminium front offers IP65 protection at the front and IP20 at the rear.

In addition to the standard grey colour, the front laminate is available in any standard RAL colour, providing numerous styles for customisation.

A free Mini PCI slot offers additional flexibility.

Fieldbus cards are available for Profibus, CANopen, DeviceNet and SERCOS interface, as well as a third Ethernet port and an additional serial interface.

Alternatively, the Mini PCI slot can also be used to install a memory card with NOVRAM for fail-safe data storage.

The user can choose from cards with 128, 256 or 512Kbyte NOVRAM.
