Product Description:

Beckhoff’s C3620-0000 belongs to the C3 Panel PC Units series and combines an industrial touchscreen with an integrated controller for machine-level visualization and control tasks. By placing the CPU, storage, and I/O interfaces behind the display, the unit serves as a single-station HMI for cabinet and operator-station mounting. This layout helps support packaging lines, material-handling cells, and other discrete automation processes without requiring a separate control computer.

The front panel carries a 12 in TFT with a resolution of 800 x 600, giving operators adequate detail for status dialogs and alarm banners. Internally, the motherboard provides 7 expansion slots so additional fieldbus cards or motion controllers can be fitted without an external rack. For power entry, the unit uses a five-pole connector that tolerates a connector current of 12 A at a rated line of 250 V. Wires down to 1.5 mm² can be terminated on its five contacts, and a 3.5 in hard disk stores operating-system images and recipe files. The logic section draws its supply through a single power plug rather than multiple feeds.

The aluminum bezel has a sealing system rated Front IP65 / Rear IP20, which blocks dust and water jets on the operator side while allowing convection on the electronics side. Mechanical dimensions measure 324 mm in height, 388 mm in width, and 201 mm in depth, so the panel fits standard machine enclosures. The chassis weighs 11.5 kg, which supports door mounting without added hinge reinforcement. During transport or installation, the housing withstands shocks up to 5 G for 30 ms, and all components remain functional in non-condensing humidity up to 95%. The power connector also helps keep the supply lead secure under vibration.
