Beckhoff C7015 compact industrial PC

The Beckhoff C7015 compact industrial PC, which measures 85 x 167 x 43 mm, is designed to be a high-performance IP65/67 device designed for installation within machine environments. The space-saving, fanless device is suited to high-performance automation, visualisation and communication purposes. Its applications range from classic machine control to the decentralised edge computing utilised in advanced Industry 4.0 technology.

The C7015 is equipped with an Intel Atom multicore CPU with up to four processor cores. Compared to conventional ARM-based edge devices, it is able to support far more demanding applications as well as decentralised data pre-processing and the acquisition of large data volumes.

The IP 65/67 IPC also serves as a machine controller. Installing it directly in the field can save electrical cabinet space, reducing machine footprint, especially when combined with other components with a high protection rating, such as a distributed servo drive system or EtherCAT P I/O modules.

The integrated EtherCAT P connection of the C7015 creates a range of options for sensor and actuator connection via the IP67-protected EPP modules. In this way, complex diagnostic or condition monitoring tasks can be decentralised and supported with minimal installation effort. A special mounting plate enables direct attachment of an EPP module to the C7015. If required, additional EPP modules can be flexibly connected via EtherCAT P for specific applications.
