C9900-B506

The Beckhoff C9900-B506 module is a versatile expansion accessory in the C9 PC Accessories series, designed for seamless integration into the C6920 housing. This robust unit provides 2 PCIe slots and requires an Intel 6th/7th generation processor to deliver high-performance computing capabilities. Preconfigured for Windows 10 or Windows Server 2016, the C9900-B506 supports 64 bit OS required memory extension, ensuring large data sets can be handled with ease. With a passive backplane design and a compact footprint, this accessory enhances the C6920 industrial PC without compromising reliability or space.

Engineered for demanding industrial environments, the C9900-B506 combines multiple technical strengths into a single package. The 2 PCIe slots accommodate plug-in cards up to 190 mm (7.5 inches) in length, providing flexibility for specialized network or data acquisition add-ons. The passive backplane construction minimizes heat generation and eliminates active component failure risks, while the connector location on the top side of the PC on the right simplifies card installation and maintenance. On-board SATA RAID 1 controller support delivers mirrored disk redundancy for critical data protection. Integrated 100/1000BASE-T on-board Ethernet and DVI, USB Gen. 1 interface options further extend connectivity for peripherals and displays.

Operational efficiency and reliability are at the core of the C9900-B506's design. The passive backplane reduces thermal stress and ensures long-term stability under fluctuating temperatures. With RAID support duplicating vital data across drives, system resilience is significantly enhanced, mitigating downtime in industrial automation processes. The integrated graphic adapter in processor maximizes performance while minimizing additional hardware requirements. Compliance with 64 bit OS required memory addressing and compatibility with both Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016 simplifies deployment in existing infrastructures.

Integration is straightforward: the accessory is integrated inside the C6920 housing, increasing its depth by 18 mm (0.7 inches) and width by 70 mm (2.76 inches) for minimal impact on rack space. Its precise design suits applications ranging from high-speed data logging to dedicated network interface augmentation in manufacturing, robotics, and process control systems. The Beckhoff C9900-B506 enables engineers to tailor their industrial PCs with additional PCIe functionality, ensuring adaptability and future-proofing for critical automation solutions.
