Ultra-compact IPC
18 June 2018
The newest generation of universal, flexible and ultra-compact IPCs from Beckhoff has been expanded with the addition of the C6017, which combines compact design and great installation flexibility with an increased variety of interfaces and an integrated UPS.

Developed for applications with increased requirements for connectivity and data security in the event of potential power supply failures, the C6017 uses the existing C6015 configuration with DisplayPort connection, an onboard dual Ethernet adapter with two 100/1000Base-T connections as well as a USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 port, but has an additional two RJ45 and two USB 2.0 interfaces. An optional capacitive 1-second UPS is integrated, which ensures storage of persistent data in the event of a power supply failure.
