Product Description
The C9900-P216, manufactured by Beckhoff, is a critical component in industrial automation. It is specifically designed to provide a reliable power source for industrial PCs. Operating at 24 VDC, this fanless power supply delivers a substantial 250 watts of power, making it suitable for demanding applications within control cabinet environments. The choice of 24 VDC is significant, as it is a standard voltage in industrial automation, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of equipment and reducing the risk of electrical hazards. The "ATX open frame" form factor contributes to the unit's versatility. This design allows for flexible installation within various industrial PC configurations, adapting to the system's specific needs. Furthermore, the open frame promotes natural convection cooling, eliminating the need for a fan and ensuring silent operation.
This fanless design is crucial in industrial settings, where dust and debris can hinder the performance and longevity of fan-cooled systems. The absence of a fan also reduces the number of moving parts, minimizing the risk of mechanical failure and enhancing the overall reliability of the power supply. A standout feature of the C9900-P216 is its compatibility with battery packs. This capability ensures uninterrupted operation, even during a power outage, providing a crucial safeguard for critical industrial processes. This feature is essential in applications where downtime can lead to significant financial losses or safety hazards.
The C9900-P216's "maintenance-free" nature further enhances its appeal for industrial applications. This characteristic reduces the need for regular upkeep, minimizing downtime and ensuring consistent performance over the long term. The C9900-P216 utilizes a 5-pin CAGE CLAMP plug connector for installation. This type of connector is known for its secure and reliable connection, ensuring a stable power supply to the industrial PC. The robust design of the CAGE CLAMP connector makes it resistant to vibration and shock, which are common in industrial environments. This connector type also allows for quick and easy installation and removal, simplifying maintenance procedures. Wake Industrial provides a one-year warranty upon purchase of the C9900-P216, offering peace of mind and assurance of the product's quality and reliability.
