Wake Industrial LLC is not an authorized distributor of this product.
The Beckhoff IP-4GVI63 is part of the IP Compact Box Units series and features an Intel 82845GV AGPset chipset with a 478-pin CPU socket. The motherboard supports up to 2 GB of DDR266/333 SDRAM through two 184-pin DIMM sockets, and includes 6 USB 2.0 ports and 4 serial ports. It is equipped with an Intel 82562ET Ethernet controller for 10/100Base-TX connectivity and has 6 PCI slots as well as a single AGP slot for add-on cards.
Internal Product Review
The IP-4GVI63 is a Beckhoff compact box unit based on the Intel 82845GV AGPset with a 478-pin CPU socket. An Intel 82562ET controller and 10/100Base-TX networking support consistent plant-floor communications. Six PCI slots make the platform especially attractive for I/O-dense retrofit work.

Product Description:
The IP-4GVI63 is a Beckhoff mainboard supplied within the IP Compact Box Units series. It serves as the embedded computing platform for these industrial PCs, supplying processor, memory, and field-level interfaces required for machine control, data acquisition, and visualization tasks on automated equipment. Award Plug & Play BIOS supports plug-and-play resource allocation and remote boot features often needed in cabinet-free designs.
The core logic is handled by the Intel 82845GV AGPset; this northbridge coordinates traffic between the processor, graphics connector, and system memory. A 478-pin CPU socket accepts Intel Pentium 4-class processors, allowing selection of clock speeds that suit cycle-time requirements. Physical RAM capacity reaches 2 GB, delivered through 2 x 184-pin DIMM slots that accept DDR266/333 SDRAM; this arrangement balances throughput and vibration resistance for panel-mounted PCs. The board footprint is 305 × 220 mm, matching standard micro-ATX mounting points so it can be installed inside Beckhoff's fanless aluminum housings without mechanical adaptation.
Network access is provided through an Intel 82562ET controller that drives a 10/100Base-TX port for deterministic fieldbus gateways or plant Ethernet segments. Six rear I/O brackets expose 6 USB 2.0 ports for scanners, memory keys, or touchscreens, while 6 PCI slots permit motion cards or additional fieldbus masters to be added without stacking extenders. Graphics expansion is limited to a single AGP 1× connector dedicated to Beckhoff ADD cards, and legacy integration is aided by 4 serial ports managed through the W83627HF Super I/O chip. The AC97 audio codec offers basic sound output for alarm tones, and four IDE device channels support mirrored CompactFlash adapters or rotating disks when solid-state media is not specified. The board can host Windows-based soft-PLC runtimes while connecting to discrete I/O, drives, and supervisory networks in a space-constrained installation.
