Product Description:

The C5102-0060 is a 4-U industrial PC enclosure from Beckhoff’s C5 Control Cabinets series. In an automation cell, this unit houses the computing hardware that supervises motion control, fieldbus traffic, and HMI tasks while fitting directly into a 19-inch rack. By integrating processor, storage, and industrial I/O connectivity in a sealed metal frame, the cabinet provides a reliable control node that can be mounted alongside drives and networking equipment inside a plant-floor cabinet.

This model dissipates up to 70 W of heat during normal operation, a figure that helps with airflow or external cooling planning. The enclosure carries an IP60 operating rating, so dust is excluded while liquid protection must be provided by the host cabinet. Front-to-back depth is 449 mm, allowing the chassis to clear rear cable bends in standard 600 mm racks. Height corresponds to 4 rack units, leaving space for power supplies or switches above and below. Two Ethernet ports support real-time fieldbus or segmented LAN topologies, while separate DisplayPort, dual DVI-D, dual USB 2.0, dual PS/2, and internal USB header options permit local or panel-mounted operator stations without additional breakout modules.

The cabinet weighs 17.0 kg, so slide rails or rear supports are recommended when the rack is subject to vibration. Two USB 3.0 ports on the front panel enable high-speed imaging or data logging peripherals, while a motherboard coin cell uses CR2032 chemistry to retain BIOS and clock data. External dimensions are capped by a 483 mm width that matches EIA-310 rack standards, and the 177 mm height helps the unit fit existing rack enclosures. When powered down and stored, the unit’s sealing level reverts to IP20, so it should remain in a clean, dry warehouse before installation.
