Control Cabinet IPC C6030

• The C6025 ultra-compact Industrial PC is designed as a fanless device and offers the high Intel® Core™ i computing power despite its small dimensions of 82 x 127 x 40 mm. The Intel® Core™ i U processors with up to four processor cores form the basis for this, because despite their Core™ i properties their power consumption is much lower compared with the other processors from the series. Combined with the modern cooling concept, the power losses associated with the high computing performance can be dissipated entirely passively – via a one-sided cooling surface, making the C6025 suitable for a temperature range of up to 50 °C. Within the C60xx series, it combines the C6015’s compactness and lack of a fan with the high performance of the C6030 and thus ideally closes the previous gap in the Beckhoff PC portfolio in an ideal way.

  Even in the basic version, the C6025 has 4 GB DDR4 RAM (extendable to 8 GB), 40 GB M.2 SSD, 3D flash, a display port and four USB 3.0 ports as well as an on-board Ethernet adapter with 3 x 100/1000BASE-T connections. Thanks to its flexible fastening concept, the C6025 can be installed without a prescribed mounting direction, whereby the placement of the connecting plugs can be optimized.

  The C6025 is particularly suitable for demanding control applications in which the aspect of Green IT should also be considered.

At the end of 2016, Beckhoff has already paved the way for a new generation of Industrial PCs with its ultra-compact C6015 control cabinet Industrial PC. Such traditional Beckhoff IPC features as long-term availability, robustness, flexibility and performance were combined with a unique universal installation concept, an extremely compact design, a contemporary look-and-feel and an attractive price point.

Motivated by the success of the C6015, particularly in the area of IoT and Industrie 4.0 applications, Beckhoff has expanded its portfolio of ultra-compact control cabinet Industrial PCs with the addition of the C6030.

Through consistent integration of the Intel® Core™ i-series processors of the sixth and seventh Generation, the C6030 is directly advancing into the field of highly complex and performance-hungry applications. Whether it is extensive axis control or demanding HMI applications, extremely short cycle times or large-volume data handling, with processing power ranging up to Core™ i7 CPUs with 4 cores of 3.6 GHz each, the device is able to accommodate almost any automation and visualisation task. This level of computing power in such a compact form factor remains currently unrivalled in the industrial environment.

Both the new ultra-compact motherboard and the housing, which is made of die-cast zinc and aluminium, have been newly developed in line with the high standards Beckhoff is known for, such as industrial suitability, manufacturing Made in Germany, reliability and premium look-and-feel.

With integrated multi-core support, the C6030 can be used simultaneously for high-performance automation, visualisation and communication. Its flexible mounting options with virtually free orientation of the PC’s position allow a wide range of installation scenarios even in the most confined spaces.

Through the use of an extremely durable, speed-monitored and controlled fan, the C6030 is suitable for a temperature range of up to +55 °C, depending on the CPU. With a size of only 129 x 133 x 76 mm, it is twice as compact as the previously smallest C6930 IPCs. In addition, the C6030 scores points with price savings, making it the most cost-effective Core™ i-series PC offered by Beckhoff to date.

Equipped with a storage capacity of 40 GB M.2-SSD, 3D Flash, it is fully functional in its basic configuration. Options include Windows 7 or Windows 10 operating systems and a second M.2 SSD in a RAID network. With a choice of 8 different CPU types, the C6030 can be perfectly matched to individual application requirements.

TwinCAT 3, the latest version of the Beckhoff automation software suite developed especially for multi-core processors, can use the two- and four-core processors of this Industrial PC generation in the same way as the predecessor TwinCAT 2 with its single-core support. The C6030-0060 Industrial PC revolutionises the already extremely successful C69xx series Industrial PCs for control cabinet installation and adds a more powerful new version to the ultra-compact C6015 Industrial PC.
