Product Description:

The C5102-0020 is an industrial control cabinet PC produced by Beckhoff and placed within the C5 Control Cabinets series. This enclosure combines computing hardware and field connectivity so that it can be mounted directly in machine racks and coordinate motion, I/O scanning, data logging, and supervisory control tasks across an automation cell. Its integrated interfaces allow it to serve as the central platform for TwinCAT runtime or other real-time software while keeping wiring consolidated inside a single housing.

A height of 177 mm and a width of 483 mm set the front panel envelope, while the 449 mm depth lets the chassis occupy five rack units and leaves a 51 mm handle extension for safe extraction. During operation, the enclosure meets IP60 dust protection, but protection falls to IP20 when service doors are open. Internal electronics draw about 70 W, which helps simplify thermal management in enclosed racks. Expansion is available through 6 plug-in card slots that can host additional fieldbus, motion, or vision interfaces. The rear side contains four USB connectors, a VGA video port, two RS-232 serial ports, and a Centronics parallel port for legacy devices.

As a 19 in rack component, the unit fits standard slide rails, cable harnesses, and cooling paths used in industrial control cabinets. Network communication is provided by a single 1 x 10/100BASE-T Ethernet interface, supporting links to supervisory PLCs, HMI stations, or SCADA nodes. The front bezel carries 2 x USB 2.0 service ports so keyboards, recovery media, or license dongles can be connected without removing covers. With an enclosure mass of 17.0 kg, the chassis requires captive nuts and vibration spacers appropriate for dynamic loads, and the rack-mounted format keeps access to external connections straightforward during routine service.
