C6240-1004

The Beckhoff C6240-1004 industrial PC, part of the C6 Industrial PC Units series, is a robust cabinet-mounted computing solution engineered for demanding machine and plant automation environments. It integrates into control cabinets with a compact footprint of 430 x 170 x 274 mm (W x H x D) and weighs 12.3 kg, ensuring efficient use of available space. The unit operates on a dual power input design, accepting 100–240 V AC at 50–60 Hz or optionally 22–30 V DC, with a power consumption of 100 W under standard configuration. Constructed to IP20 protection standards, it withstands standard industrial exposure without requiring additional enclosure. Operating within an ambient temperature range of 0–55 °C and non-condensing humidity up to 95 %, the C6240-1004 delivers stable performance in typical factory conditions.

Equipped to support a wide range of peripherals and networks, the C6240-1004 features four USB ports (X108–X111) for high-speed device connections and two PS/2 ports (X104 for mouse, X103 for keyboard) for legacy input. Dual DVI-D interfaces (X114, X115) facilitate simultaneous display outputs, while dual RJ-45 LAN ports (X112, X113) provide 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet connectivity for real-time data exchange. A dedicated serial interface COM1 (X116) employs a 9-pin SUB-D connector supporting RS-232, enabling integration with legacy and specialty equipment. The system’s modular design accommodates both AC and DC feed, offering installation flexibility across varied infrastructure. With its IP20 rating, the enclosure protects against solid intrusions common in control cabinets while maintaining accessibility to all interfaces.

Built for industrial reliability, the C6240-1004 endures mechanical stress with an impact resistance of 5 G for 30 ms (per EN 60068-2-27) and a dedicated CD-ROM read impact rating of 5 G for 11 ms. Vibration endurance is rated at 0.25 G in the 58–500 Hz range, ensuring uninterrupted operation on factory floors and mobile installations. The cabinet-mounted configuration simplifies integration into existing control systems, reducing installation time and maintenance overhead. Free from requirements for explosion-proof certification, it is optimized for general automation tasks in packaging, assembly, and process control. Its combination of comprehensive interface support, environmental resilience, and professional industrial design makes the C6240-1004 ideal for high-uptime applications in diverse automation scenarios.
