Product Description

The Beckhoff C9900-M974 is an accessory designed to enhance the connectivity of the CP77xx Series industrial PCs. At its core, it functions as an adapter, facilitating the connection of DVI displays and serial devices. This dual functionality is crucial in industrial environments where legacy equipment often coexists with newer display technologies. The C9900-M974 achieves this through carefully selected interfaces and robust design elements. With its digital signaling, the DVI interface ensures high-quality video transmission, minimizing signal degradation and providing crisp, clear visuals over long distances. This is essential for operators who rely on these displays for real-time monitoring and control of industrial processes.

Complementing the DVI interface is a 12-pole serial interface. This interface is designed to cater to a wide range of legacy industrial equipment that still relies on serial communication. The 12-pole configuration provides ample connections for transmitting data and control signals, ensuring compatibility with various devices. Internally, the C9900-M974 utilizes a CFast card for storage. This compact and robust storage solution offers a capacity of up to 16 GB, providing ample space for the operating system, application software, and data logging. The use of SLC (Single-Level Cell) flash memory technology further enhances the reliability and data integrity of the CFast card, making it suitable for demanding industrial applications.

The C9900-M974 is designed to operate within an extended temperature range, underscoring its suitability for harsh industrial environments. This resilience ensures the adapter can withstand the temperature fluctuations commonly encountered in industrial settings, maintaining consistent performance and reliability. Furthermore, the C9900-M974 supports TwinCAT automation software. TwinCAT is a platform that provides a wide range of functionalities for industrial automation, including real-time control, motion control, and machine vision. The C9900-M974's compatibility with TwinCAT opens up possibilities for sophisticated automation solutions, enabling seamless integration with the CP77xx Series industrial PCs.
