Following over 25 years of successful in-house panel production and 12 years of expertise in multi-touch design, Beckhoff is introducing a new smart panel design: the Next multi-touch panel generation. With its revised electronics concept and standardised connection solution for electronics and mechanics, this device platform maintains Beckhoff’s established technological lead and builds on it. The consistently high quality of Beckhoff Control Panels and Panel PCs is combined with an optimised price/performance ratio.
The Next multi-touch panel generation introduces first the CP49xx and CP59xx Control Panel series.
The Next multi-touch panel series is advanced and cost-optimised and extends the diversity of Beckhoff's portfolio. As before, this generation of control panels and panel PCs offers user-friendly operation with advanced multi-touch technology, a high-quality design, and a wide choice of formats and options. The devices, manufactured entirely in Germany, are characterised by smart, sleek electronics and device design, EtherCAT communication (FSoE) at the push of a button, and high-quality industrial-grade displays with multi-finger touch function.
The Next multi-touch panels with IP20 or IP65 protection ratings will be available long-term. They can be provided in display diagonals from 7 to 24 inches in various formats, as installation and support arm variants, and the panel PC version is available in a range of CPU performance classes. It includes a variety of accessories and mechanical extensions. The latest standards are integrated to provide a future-ready panel platform that makes it easy to optimise costs without changing the system design and provides tried-and-tested touch technology with anti-glare and anti-ghosting effects.
The introduction of the Next multi-touch panel generation starts with the CP49xx built-in Control Panel with an IP20 protection rating and the CP59xx Control Panel with an IP65 protection rating for mounting arm installation. These models are intended for direct mounting on a VESA monitor mount by the customer or can optionally be fitted on a mounting arm with a 48 mm round tube.
