The Beckhoff C5 Control Cabinets series consists of 19-inch rack-mount industrial PCs designed for installation in control cabinets and built for continuous use in industrial automation environments.
Within the series, the C5102 and C5210 provide rack-based PC platforms with front-access service points, integrated operating controls, and a range of standard industrial interfaces such as USB, serial, video, and network connections, with optional expansion through plug-in cards. The series supports operation from a wide AC input range, and certain versions also offer optional 24 VDC power supply configurations for use in systems based on industrial control voltage. These units are designed to allow servicing tasks such as battery access, filter replacement, storage access, and maintenance of internal components while following defined installation and safety procedures for cabinet integration. Overall, the C5 series is intended for centralized industrial PC applications that require rack-mount installation, flexible interface availability, and service-friendly design inside the control cabinet.
