Typical applications for the control panel include plant and machine engineering. A CP link interface is located at the rear side of the unit. CP link is a Beckhoff proprietary communication protocol. It utilizes coaxial cables for transmitting power and data. Power for the CP7031-1007 is drawn from the CP link connection.

CP link provides connectivity between the control panel and industrial PCs used to control it. The control panel gets activated as soon as it connects to an active CP link connection. The maximum cable length supported by the CP link protocol is 100 meters. BNC connectors are used for the physical CP link interfaces. Unauthorized personnel should not be able to get access, as any attempt to shut down the control panel while the software is running will lead to loss of data. Only human fingers should be used to actuate the keypad. Human fingers and touch screen pens can be used to activate the display. Dimensions of the unit are 406 x 370 x 27. 5 millimeters.
