Product Description:

The CP3916-0000 is a panel-mount industrial computer produced by Beckhoff as part of the CP Panel PC Systems series. Acting as the human-machine interface for controllers and field devices, the unit integrates processing hardware, an industrial display, and touch input in a single enclosure suitable for cabinet fronts. By combining visualization, parameter entry, and diagnostic access at the machine, it reduces wiring complexity and allows PLC code to run close to the process while still withstanding factory floor conditions.

Its front housing carries an IP65 rating, so sealed gaskets keep dust and low-pressure water jets from reaching internal electronics. The computer draws a nominal 24 VDC through a lockable 4-pin M12 supply connector and remains operational down to the 22 V plug-in limit. Shock tests show the electronics tolerate impacts of 5 G for a duration of 30 ms without functional loss. External displays can be driven through a DVI-E port that offers 19 signal pins and supports cable runs up to 50 m; the complementary USB-E interface provides eight pins with the same maximum length for remote I/O modules. Installation benefits from a wiring block that accepts up to four conductors of 0.75 mm², and the assembled device weighs 4.5 kg, easing panel door mounting.

During continuous operation, the PC withstands a vibration acceleration of 0.5 G with a double amplitude of 0.035 mm, allowing use on moving gantries or press frames. Reliable performance is maintained in humid production areas, as components remain stable up to 95 % relative humidity without condensation. Operator input is captured by a projected-capacitive screen identified as PCT, enabling multitouch gestures while preserving a flat protective glass. The flat glass keeps the operating surface flush, which supports touch input without adding a raised bezel to the front panel.
