Founded in 1980 by Hans Beckhoff, Beckhoff implements PC-based automation systems for the automation industry and uses PC-based control technology for this purpose. The company’s product range covers automation software, industrial PCs, drive technology and I/O & Fieldbus components. The company believes in continuous improvement and providing innovative solutions through using PC-based automation technology. The CP2618-0000 is a compact dual-touch built-in panel PC produced by the company and comes with a variety of features for different industrial applications. The CP2618-0000 can be installed in the machine’s control cabinet and is completely maintenance-free. This panel comes with an 18.5” (1366 x 768) display and has an eye catching design. The panel uses the ARM Cortex™-A8, 1 GHz (TC3: 30) processor that allows it to combine state of the art industrial PC technology with a durable control panel design.

The dual-touch allows the user to simultaneously give multiple inputs just like smartphones and tablets. The CP2618-0000 comes with a 24-volt power supply and uses a robust aluminum housing that protects that panel’s edges. The screen is made from a continuous glass layer that protects against any damage from the front side. For utilization as a compact central processing control unit for an EtherCAT control system, the CP2618-0000 comes with an independent Ethernet and EtherCAT control system. For fail-safe data storage, NOVRAM is integrated on the motherboard. Due to an LED backlight, the device can be installed horizontally in landscape mode or even vertically, in a portrait mode.

For best performance in machine construction and plant engineering applications, the CP2618-0000 comes with an integrated 3½-inch motherboard. The motherboard can be used with TwinCAT automation software under Windows Embedded Compact 7. The CP2618-0000 serves as an automation platform that is very economical and highly loaded with smart features that are ideal for various industrial applications.
