The Beckhoff CP Panel PC Systems series is a family of industrial panel PCs designed for machine control, visualization, and communication, with variants for control-cabinet installation, mounting-arm use, and compact built-in applications.
Across the series, the systems combine integrated display and computing hardware and are offered with interface sets that can include Ethernet, USB, RS232, DVI, optional serial or network interfaces, and in some models storage service access and battery replacement capability. Different CP families also support different mechanical concepts, including front-mounted cabinet panels, stainless or washdown-oriented units, mounting-arm systems, and space-saving compact designs for smaller installations. The devices are intended for industrial environments with protected front faces, commonly to IP65, while the rear-side protection and connection arrangement depend on the specific model and installation method. Overall, the CP series is designed to provide scalable Beckhoff panel-based control systems for HMI, automation, and communication tasks across a wide range of machine architectures.
