3.2.2 Ethernet RJ45
The C6030 has four Gigabit LAN ports (X102-X104). The Ethernet standards 100Base-T and 1000Base-T
enable connection of corresponding network components with data rates of 100/1000 Mbit/s. The required
speed is selected automatically.
The RJ45 connection technology with twisted-pair cables is used. The maximum length of the cable
connection is 100 m.
The Ethernet ports LAN2-LAN4 are suitable for cycle times <= 1 ms and for distributed clock applications
with EtherCAT.
The Ethernet port LAN1 is suitable for real-time Ethernet applications with cycle times > 1 ms (without
distributed clocks).
The controllers are used as follows, based on the device generation:

3.3 Status LEDs
The Industrial PC has four status LEDs: UPS-OCT, PWR, HDD, TC. They provide information on the
following aspects:
• the transmission quality of the UPS-OCT signals
• the status of the power controller
• the hard disk activity
• the TwinCAT status
Fig.6: C6030 Status LEDs
3.3.1 UPS-OCT LED
The UPS-OCT LED indicates the transmission quality of the UPS-OCT signals. UPS stands for the
uninterruptible power supply. One-cable technology (OCT) enables the communication between PC and
UPS to be transmitted together with the power supply, so that only one cable is required.
The colors and flashing intervals have the following meanings:

Commissioning
C6030 17Version: 2.7
4 Commissioning
To be able to use the Industrial PC, you must first commission it. The first step is to transport the device to is
operating location and unpack it. This is followed by installing the device in the control cabinet, connecting
the cables and the power supply and finally switching on the Industrial PC.
4.1 Transport and unpacking
Note the specified transport and storage conditions (see Chapter 9, Technical data [}39]).
Despite the robust design of the unit, the components are sensitive to strong vibrations and impacts.
Transporting a control cabinet with a built-in PC can result in excessive impact on the Industrial PC. During
transport the device must therefore be protected from excessive mechanical stress. Appropriate packaging
of the Industrial PC, in particular the original packaging, can improve the vibration resistance during
transport.
NOTE
Hardware damage due to condensation
Unfavorable weather conditions during transport can cause damage to the device.
• Protect the device against moisture (condensation) during transport in cold weather or in case of ex-
treme temperature fluctuations.
• Do not put the device into operation until it has slowly adjusted to the room temperature.
• Should condensation occur, wait for about 12 hours before switching the device on.
Unpacking
Proceed as follows to unpack the unit:
1. Check the packaging for transport damage.
2. Remove packaging.
3. Keep the packaging for possible future transport.
4. Check your delivery for completeness by comparing it with your order.
5. Check the contents for visible shipping damage.
6. In case of discrepancies between the package contents and the order, or in case of transport damage,
please inform Beckhoff Service (see Chapter 10.1 Service and support [}40]).

C603018 Version: 2.7
4.2 Installation in the control cabinet
The C6030 Industrial PC is designed for installation in control cabinets in machine and plant technology.
Please observe the environmental conditions prescribed for the operation (see Chapter 9 Technical data
[}39]).
Using different mounting plates, you can align the cable entry based on the application requirements.
Figure 8 shows the two available mounting plates: the standard mounting plate 1 and the optional mounting
plate 2. In both cases, the plate is attached to the right-hand side wall of the Industrial PC with four Torx
TX10 screws and a tightening torque of approx. 0.5 Nm. You can turn both mounting plates before fastening
them such that the PC can be mounted in the desired orientation for the cable entry in the control cabinet
(see Chapter 4.2.1 Mounting options [}19]).

Fig.8: C6030 _Mounting plates
In the basic configuration, the Industrial PC is delivered with a standard mounting plate 1 already mounted
as shown in fig. 8. The scope of delivery does not include any further mounting plates. You can choose the
following ordering options:

4.2.1 Mounting options
NOTE
Incorrect installation
Mounting the device in a way that deviates from the documentation can impair its functionality.
• Mount the device only in the orientations shown in the documents.
Before attaching the mounting plates shown in Fig. 8 to the device, you have various options for aligning the
device according to the desired cable entry. This results in various options for mounting the device in the
control cabinet.
The following drawings show the possible mounting options.
With the standard mounting plate 1, you can mount the Industrial PC in the control cabinet using the narrow
sides. You have the following mounting options, which are shown in Fig. 9:
• Mounting via the rear panel of the device (A)
• Mounting via the top of the device (B)
• Mounting via the bottom of the device (C)
ABC
Fig.9: C6030_Mounting options for mounting plate 1
With the optional mounting plate 2, you can mount the Industrial PC only via the right-hand side panel. You
can rotate the PC as required to align the connections in the control cabinet. You have the following
mounting options, which are shown in Fig. 10:
• Connections point upwards (A)
• Connections point downwards (B)
• Connections point to the right (C)
• Connections point to the left (D)
