Product Description:

The CP7021-0000 is a fanless panel PC produced by Beckhoff and belongs to the CP Panel PC Systems series. The unit integrates an industrial computer, field connectivity, and a flat-panel interface in a slim housing so it can mount directly on machines or control cabinets. In automated lines, it functions as both a real-time controller and a local HMI for configuration, status display, and operator commands. This arrangement allows the display and control hardware to remain close to the machine process instead of relying on separate operator hardware.

Its front glass measures 12 in diagonally, providing sufficient viewing area for process graphics without enlarging the enclosure. The unit has an overall width of 406 mm, an overall height of 308.3 mm, and an overall depth of 27.5 mm, enabling installation in shallow panels where rear clearance is limited. The shallow profile is useful on cabinet doors and support arms where rear protrusion must be kept low. Two BNC backplane connectors route video or fieldbus signals directly to embedded boards, while an M4 grounding thread offers a single-point ground connection to minimize electrical noise. Four M6 × 18 mm mounting holes set the fastening pattern so the panel can be secured to brackets or swing arms used on fabrication equipment.

The enclosure is machined from Aluminum, a material that dissipates heat quickly and resists corrosion in washdown areas. A sealed front achieves IP65 protection, preventing dust ingress and water jets from affecting the electronics. Shock tolerance reaches 5 G, 30 ms, so the panel remains operational on presses or mobile platforms that transmit short mechanical pulses. For climates with variable moisture, it stays functional up to 95% non-condensing humidity. When the computer and remote I/O are linked with coaxial or Ethernet extensions, the specified 100 m maximum cable length maintains signal integrity without repeaters and supports flexible placement of the screen relative to the control cabinet.
