Product Description:

The CP7202-0021-0030 is a Panel PC produced by Beckhoff for the CP Panel PC Systems series. It combines a touchscreen, embedded motherboard, and fieldbus interface to act as the machine-level HMI and soft PLC in automated cells. Running TwinCAT on the panel removes the need for a separate controller and shortens the path between visualization and motion control.

Real-time communication is driven by an EtherCAT controller that completes cycles in 1 ms or less, enabling deterministic motion sequences. The Gigabit Ethernet port supports copper runs up to 100 m through the RJ45 push-pull connector, allowing remote cabinet placement without repeaters. System memory consists of DDR4 RAM, which raises bandwidth for high-resolution visualization. Power reaches the electronics through a 12-pin round plug, and the system operates when at least 22 V is present on that connector. A cast-aluminum front with a gasketed bezel provides an IP65 ingress rating against dust and washdown spray, making the panel suitable for mounting directly on equipment in food or packaging zones. Auxiliary details include a 3.5-inch mainboard form factor, a single storage slot, and 1.5 mm² supply wiring.

Stable operation is sustained by the internal PSU that converts the nominal 24 VDC machine supply, ensuring consistent availability for the CPU and fieldbus modules. Security of stored recipes is reinforced by an onboard fTPM 2.0 element, which supports measured boot and encrypted credentials. Mechanical integrity under transport is enhanced by a resistance of 5 G for 30 ms shock events; this tolerance helps prevent improper seating of connectors or drives when the panel is mounted on moving gantries. Application data reside on a 2.5-inch storage device installed in the single bay, giving access to standard SSD technology without proprietary carriers.
