2.5 Notes on information security
The products of Beckhoff Automation GmbH & Co. KG (Beckhoff), insofar as they can be accessed online,
are equipped with security functions that support the secure operation of plants, systems, machines and
networks. Despite the security functions, the creation, implementation and constant updating of a holistic
security concept for the operation are necessary to protect the respective plant, system, machine and
networks against cyber threats. The products sold by Beckhoff are only part of the overall security concept.
The customer is responsible for preventing unauthorized access by third parties to its equipment, systems,
machines and networks. The latter should be connected to the corporate network or the Internet only if
appropriate protective measures have been set up.
In addition, the recommendations from Beckhoff regarding appropriate protective measures should be
observed. Further information regarding information security and industrial security can be found in our
https://www.beckhoff.com/secguide.
Beckhoff products and solutions undergo continuous further development. This also applies to security
functions. In light of this continuous further development, Beckhoff expressly recommends that the products
are kept up to date at all times and that updates are installed for the products once they have been made
available. Using outdated or unsupported product versions can increase the risk of cyber threats.

3.2 Interface description
The CP6600 has the following interfaces:
• Power supply (X101)
• Ethernet RJ45 (X102)
• EtherCAT (X103)
• USB (X104, X105)
• RS232 (X107)
3.2.1 Power supply
The Panel PC is supplied with a nominal voltage of 24V. The power supply and the protective earth of the
PC are connected via the five-pin voltage socket (X101). The main supply voltage is applied between PIN 4
(0V) and PIN 5 (24V) of the socket. If the Panel PC is equipped with an internal, capacitive 1-second UPS
(uninterruptible power supply), this is also supplied via the voltage. The 1-second UPS does not serve to
back-up the operating system.

Operation of the Panel PC
The Panel PC is operated via the touch screen.
NOTE
Damage to the touch screen
Operating the touch screen with unsuitable objects may damage the touch screen.
• Only operate the touch screen with your bare finger or with your finger using a suitable glove.
• If you use gloves, make sure that no hard particles such as metal shavings, glass splinters or similar ad-
here to the glove.
Commissioning
In order to use the Panel 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 panel of the control cabinet,
connecting the cables and the power supply and finally switching on the Panel PC.
4.1 Transport and storage
The specified storage conditions must be adhered to (see chapter 8 Technical data [}32]).
Despite the robust design of the unit, the components are sensitive to strong vibrations and impacts. During
transport the device must therefore be protected from mechanical stress. Appropriate packaging of the Panel
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 device:
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 9.1 Service and Support [}33]).
4.2 Control cabinet installation
The Panel PC CP6600 is designed for installation in the front of a control cabinet in machine and system
engineering. The environmental conditions specified for operation must be observed (see chapter 8
Technical data [}32]).

Commissioning
CP660018 Version: 2.0
4.2.1 Dimensions
The dimensions of the Panel PC are required for the preparation of the control cabinet front. For the
installation of the Panel PC, the wall thickness must be between 1 mm and 5 mm. After installation, be sure
to check the tightness between the Panel PC and the built-in wall.
All dimensions are in mm.

4.2.2 Installation in the control cabinet
The control cabinet must have the required installation cutout according to the device dimensions (see
Chapter 4.2.1 Dimensions [}18]) of the Panel PC.
NOTE
Extreme environmental conditions
Extreme environmental conditions can cause damage to the device.
• Avoid extreme environmental conditions.
• Protect the device against dust, moisture and heat.
• Do not block the ventilation slots of the device.
Please also note the following for installation in a control cabinet:
• For air circulation, ensure that there is 5 cm of free space above and below the device.
• Position the Panel PC such that reflections from light sources on the screen are avoided as far as
possible.
• For the correct installation height, use the position of the screen for guidance. This should always be
optimally visible to the user.
• Do not expose the Panel PC to direct sunlight.
Installation in the control cabinet
Once you have made the required cutout in the control cabinet, you can install the Panel PC in the control
cabinet. Clamping levers are provided at the back of the housing for final mounting of the device.
To install and secure the Panel PC in the control cabinet, follow the steps shown in Fig. 11:
1. Insert the Panel PC at the intended position in the panel of the control cabinet. Make sure that the device
is secured against falling out until it is fastened properly.
2. Loosen the clamping levers with a 2.5 mm Allen key (sections A and B).
3. Fold out the clamping levers 90° (section C).
4. Retighten the clamping levers with the Allen key (section D).

4.3 Connecting the Panel PC
CAUTION
Risk of electric shock
Dangerous touch voltages can lead to electric shock. To avoid electric shock, adhere to the following
points:
• Never connect or disconnect the device cables during a thunderstorm.
• Provide protective earthing for handling the device.
To make the Panel PC ready for operation, you have to connect it. The first step is to ground the device.
Then you can connect the cables and the power supply.
An external power supply unit is required to supply 24VDC (-15%/+20%) for operating the device.
The cabling of the Panel PC in the control cabinet must be done in accordance with the standard EN
60204-1:2006 PELV = Protective Extra Low Voltage:
• The PE conductor (protective earth) and the "0 V" conductor of the voltage source must be on the
same potential (connected in the control cabinet).
• Standard EN 60204-1:2006, section 6.4.1:b stipulates that one side of the circuit, or a point of the
energy source for this circuit must be connected to the protective conductor system.
Devices connected to the Panel PC with their own power supply must have the same potential for the PE
and "0V" conductors as the Panel PC (no potential difference).
4.3.1 Assembly of the supply cable
Install the cable for the power supply of the Panel PC using the material supplied for connector assembly. It
consists of a 5-pin connection strip and a strain relief housing with cable tie.
If you require a replacement for the voltage connector or the strain relief housing, you can order these from
Beckhoff Sales.
Assembly of the supply cable
First mount the plug on the cable as follows:
1. Remove the insulation from the cable ends (8-9 mm).
2. Crimp the ferrules onto the stripped cable ends.
3. Insert the cable ends with the ferrules into the 5-pin connection strip. For the pin assignment of the
connector, see Chapter 3.2.1 Power supply [}11].
4. Screw the cable ends into the 5-pin connection strip.
Assembly of strain relief housing
Now mount the strain relief housing on the previously connected plug and supply cable as shown in Fig. 12:
1. Thread the cable tie into the lower part of the strain relief housing (section A).
2. Insert the connection strip into the lower part of the strain relief housing (section B).
3. Tighten the cable tie and remove the plastic tab (section C).
4. Attach the upper part of the strain relief housing by snapping it onto the lower part (section D).
