Product Description:

The industrial PC C6930-1034-0040 belongs to the C6 Industrial PC Units series produced by Beckhoff. Designed for cabinet installation, it combines machine control, data logging, and network routing in one enclosure, giving a PC-based alternative to separate control hardware. The unit supports real-time operating systems and deterministic fieldbus protocols, so production cells can handle motion tasks, HMI functions, and supervisory communication from a single platform. By concentrating these functions in one cabinet unit, the system can reduce the number of separate components that need to be wired for basic machine operation.

The computing platform is based on the CBxx56 board generation, which pairs the CPU and chipset with long-term industrial availability requirements. Its 3.5-inch motherboard format keeps the footprint small, allowing deep mounting in shallow control panels. Control voltage is supplied at 24 V DC, matching the low-voltage rail commonly used in automated equipment. Two onboard Ethernet ports rated at 2 × 10/100/1000BASE-T allow separate machine networks or different traffic paths without an added network card. A housing rating of IP20 protects the electronics from accidental contact with larger solid objects while relying on the cabinet for additional protection.

Connectivity is arranged so that all I/O and service interfaces are presented on the front, which simplifies cable access after the PC is mounted on a DIN rail. Front-facing connections also reduce access problems when neighboring modules leave little side clearance inside the enclosure. Internal expansion is available through 2 PCI Express module slots, allowing added fieldbus masters, vision accelerators, or network adapters when the application requires them. For data protection, the storage subsystem supports SATA RAID 1, which mirrors drives so operation can continue if one disk fails during extended production runs.
