Product Description:

The C6320-0020 is an embedded industrial PC produced by Beckhoff within the C6 Industrial PC Units series. Designed for cabinet installation, this compact computer provides deterministic control, visualization, and data collection functions across assembly lines, packaging machines, and material-handling cells. It consolidates CPU, memory, and industrial communication ports into one platform so integrators can execute PLC logic, motion control, and SCADA tasks directly on the factory floor without a separate rack-mount server.

Its electrical profile is anchored by a power supply of 24 VDC; under a 22 V rail the system draws up to 10 A, translating to a maximum internal load of 150 W. Designers should wire the unit with a 1.5 mm² power lead and protect the circuit with a 16 A external fuse to satisfy startup inrush. The housing meets the IP20 class, so it must be installed inside a closed control panel. Communication options include two RJ-45 connectors that support 10/100 Base-T Ethernet for deterministic fieldbus or plant network links, a 9-pin SUB-D RS232 service port, three USB sockets for removable drives or local HMI, and one DVI-I output that sends video to digital or analog monitors.

Mechanical and environmental limits guide mounting choices. The basic configuration weighs 4.0 kg and fits into a footprint of 93 x 196 x 226 mm, making it compatible with shallow cabinets and swing arms. The chassis withstands shocks up to 5 G, 30 ms, so routine transport or occasional machine vibration will not dislodge internal boards. Continuous operation is permitted in relative humidity levels up to 95%, non-condensing, provided condensation is avoided by adequate enclosure ventilation. These physical limits support lifecycle calculations for vibration damping, shelf loading, and cabinet climate control prior to commissioning.
