Product Description:

The CP7201-1017-0000 is an industrial panel PC manufactured by Beckhoff in the CP Panel PC Systems series. It combines embedded computing hardware with a sealed display housing that mounts on tubular support arms. In automated plants, it functions as a local human-machine interface, running visualization and control software so users can monitor variables, acknowledge alarms, and issue commands directly at the machine. Typical applications include compact machine tools, conveyors, and packaging cells where a separate cabinet PC is impractical.

The display measures 12 in on the diagonal and uses a classic 4:3 aspect ratio, so legacy control pages fill the screen without borders. A native resolution of 800 x 600 pixels provides clear text and graphic symbols for on-screen prompts. Inside, a compact 3.5 in motherboard provides the CPU, RAM, and storage connectors while fitting behind the panel cavity. All electronics run from a single 24 VDC supply, allowing direct connection to machine power buses. The aluminum front is sealed to IP65, which blocks dust and washdown water commonly found on packaging or food-processing lines. Stable operation is specified from 0 to +45 °C, and higher temperatures can reduce backlight and processor performance. No integrated front keyboard is included, so input relies on touch operation or external pointing devices.

Mounting is through a swing-arm tube with a 48 mm diameter, which routes signal and power cables internally and allows flexible positioning for viewing. The assembly withstands impacts of 5 G for 30 ms, helping protect the display and storage devices during transport or accidental bumps. Electronics remain unharmed when stored from -20 to +65 °C, covering most warehouse conditions. Overall dimensions of 353.8 mm high by 326.3 mm wide keep the unit compact enough for retrofit on crowded machines.
