Beckhoff has introduced the CP6906 Control Panel display; offering a 7-in. touchscreen with 800 x 480 WVGA resolution, and a robust housing consisting of an aluminum bezel and sheet steel rear cover, this passive display is the ideal solution for applications with pronounced budgetary constraints, without sacrificing quality.

Manufactured according to the highest standards in Germany, the CP6906 is intended for engineers seeking to add a reliable, compact interface at a low cost. Once combined with a controller, such as a DIN rail mounted CX series embedded PC or a cabinet mounted Industrial PC (IPC) from Beckhoff, the result is a very inexpensive and compact control and HMI solution for machines, plants, buildings and other equipment. For maximum installation flexibility, the CP6906 integrates DVI/USB Extended technology, enabling remote operation as far as 50 m away from the PC.

With the latest addition of the CP6906, Beckhoff offers a full range of low-cost options for cost-sensitive applications in the low to medium performance range. Built to the same exacting quality standards, the other compact panels in this series include:

  • CP6606 Panel PC equipped with ARM Cortex-A8 processor and 7-in. screen for basic control applications
  • CP6706 Panel PC equipped with Intel Atom processors (up to 4 Cores) and 7-in. screen for small to medium-sized control applications.
