Product Description:

The industrial PC identified as C6640-1009-0030 is built by Beckhoff and belongs to the C6 Industrial PC Units series. It is intended to host real-time control tasks, visualization, and data handling directly on the factory floor, allowing TwinCAT or other automation software to run beside standard operating systems without additional controllers.

The housing measures 371 × 336 × 198 mm, giving integrators a defined footprint for cabinet layouts while still leaving space for rear connectors. An IP20 protection rating restricts the unit to clean, dry enclosures but simplifies passive cooling. Reliable operation is specified between 0 °C to +55 °C, so no internal heating is necessary for normal machine-room temperatures. Two Gigabit ports share a bandwidth of 100/1000 Mbit/s, and each can be routed up to 100 m through shielded cable to remote I/O islands. A DisplayPort output, two DVI-I sockets, three analog audio jacks, and four USB sockets provide direct HMI and service connections, while dual PS/2 receptacles accommodate legacy keyboards or pointing devices. Serial diagnostics are available through one RS-232 connector. Vibration tolerance reaches 0.5 G between 58 Hz and 500 Hz, allowing installation on moving gantries or presses where low-level oscillations are constant.

Shock resistance up to 5 G for 30 ms prevents data loss during short mechanical impacts, and electronics remain functional in ambient humidity up to 95% non-condensing. When a long network segment is unavoidable, the specified 100 m Ethernet reach eliminates the need for intermediate switches in most production cells. The four USB ports, highlighted by the count of 4, support removable storage for recipe transfer or OS recovery without opening the cabinet. Components can be stored inactive between −25 °C and +65 °C, and the enclosure withstands those limits without additional conditioning, ensuring that spares kept in a warehouse remain ready for service deployment.
