Product Description:

The C6350-0020 is an industrial PC unit manufactured by Beckhoff and placed in the C6 Industrial PC Units series. It operates as a cabinet-mounted controller that runs PLC code, motion sequences, and HMI applications while linking local fieldbuses with upper-level Ethernet networks to streamline plant-wide automation. This arrangement lets one unit handle control, visualization, and communication tasks in a compact cabinet installation.

The PC is powered from a 24 VDC supply rail and draws up to 10 A (22 V) during cold-start inrush, so power sources must be sized for that peak. Steady-state electrical demand is limited to 150 W, allowing the unit to share low-voltage power distribution with drives and I/O terminals. Two independent NICs support 10/100 Base-T signaling, and the matching RJ45 connectors can be used for separate machine and service network connections. For legacy devices, the front panel carries a 9-pin Sub-D socket with an RS-232 serial interface, and removable Slim Line CD-ROM media supports software loading without external USB drives. The housing meets the IP20 protection class, so it must be installed inside an enclosed cabinet where contamination and liquid exposure are controlled.

The housing has compact dimensions of 148 x 196 x 226 mm, and at 5.1 kg, the chassis can be fastened directly to DIN-rail brackets or shelf mounts without additional reinforcement. Environmental endurance covers ambient humidity up to 95% non-condensing and shock loads of 5 G (30 ms), matching typical factory floor conditions. Three USB receptacles comply with USB 2.0, supporting keyboards, flash storage, or service adapters, and a DVI-I port routes video to panel monitors for on-machine visualization. Two Ethernet ports, three USB ports, and one RS-232 line provide a mix of modern and legacy connectivity for cabinet-based automation systems.
