Product Description:

The CP3716-0010 is a panel PC supplied by Beckhoff within the CP Panel PC Systems series. It merges computing hardware and touchscreen operation into a sealed housing so machinery operators can run visualization software and execute control commands directly at the installation point. By pairing this unit with Beckhoff’s TwinCAT runtime or other PLC software, the device functions as a decentralized human-machine interface in production, packaging, and material-handling lines.

The electronics are energized from a 24 VDC supply that is routed through an internal fuse rated at 4 A, limiting fault current on the low-voltage rail. An enclosure protection class of IP65 prevents dust ingress and protects the PC against water jets, allowing it to be mounted outside a cabinet. Network connectivity is handled by an Intel i210 controller wired to a single RJ45 port; the interface supports data rates up to 1000 Mbit/s and maintains signal integrity over twisted-pair cable runs as long as 100 m. Mechanical coupling to an arm or stand is provided by a stainless-steel tube with a diameter of 48 mm, which carries both the load and field wiring so that no separate conduit is required.

Field durability is reinforced by a shock tolerance of 5 G for 30 ms, protecting the device during short impacts that occur when tooling indexes or guards close. The device weighs 6.8 kg, supplying enough mass to damp vibration while remaining light enough for ergonomic adjustment. A swivel range of ±165° lets operators position the screen for visibility while cables remain strain-relieved through a 12-pin round power connector and a 4 mm² ground conductor. Conformal-coated boards tolerate ambient moisture up to 95% RH, and an integrated fTPM 2.0 secure element stores cryptographic keys for signed operating-system images and encrypted drive volumes.
