Beckhoff: multi-touch panel series in various display sizes

The new Beckhoff CP2xxx and CP3xxx Control Panel and Panel PC series are characterised by a modern operating concept with multi-touch display as well as a contemporary, elegant device design. In the execution as built-in or mounting arm devices, the aluminium and stainless steel panels are extremely robust and are designed for use under harsh industrial conditions. Widescreen panels in various sizes and resolutions are available in addition to the classic display sizes in 4:3 format. The new panel generation also offers numerous advantages to single-touch users, such as an optimised price-performance ratio with savings of up to 28 % compared to previous devices.

The new Control Panel and Panel PC series are available in various display sizes and formats. In addition to the modern widescreen formats, the classic 4:3 formats are also supported. This allows users to simply port their existing HMI solutions to the new devices with no additional effort. All panels are available ex works in landscape or portrait format (horizontal/vertical). There are new widescreen display sizes: 7-inch with a resolution of 800 x 480, 15.6-inch with 1366 x 768, 18.5-inch with 1366 x 768 and 24-inch with the full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080. In addition, the familiar display sizes in the 4:3 format – 12-inch with 800 x 600, 15-inch with 1024 x 768 and 19-inch with 1280 x 1024 – are available in the new series.

Due to their low installation depth and their narrow housing edge, the CP2xxx and CP3xxx device series have a very elegant appearance. The panels are robust and industrially compatible thanks to the use of aluminium or stainless steel. A narrow, circumferential metal impact protector reliably protects the touch screen surface or the display against mechanical destruction. In addition, all-glass surface offers maximum resistance to environmental influences. In order to ensure industrial compatibility, Beckhoff uses the Projective Capacitive Touchscreen technology in its multi-touch panel series. The high touch-point density enables accurate and reliable operation. Even a ‘flowing’ touch operation in minute steps is possible without jerks. The front of the display is a glass pane with an anti-reflection coating; operation with work gloves (e.g. latex gloves) is also possible. Five-finger touch and automation solutions with 2-hand operation are equally possible.

The new panel series is conceived both for control cabinet installation and for the mounting arm installation. The CP2xxx built-in Panel series is implemented with IP 65 protection at the front and IP 20 at the rear. The CP3xxx Control Panels for mounting arm installation feature all-round IP 65 protection. The CP29xx and CP39xx series use the well-known DVI /USB Extended Technology from Beckhoff and can be operated up to 50 m away from the Industrial PC. The CP22xx built-in devices are also available as Panel PCs with Intel Celeron Core i3, i5 or i7 processor.  Customer-specific adaptations with regard to design, key extensions or RFID increase the degree of flexibility of the multi-touch series.
