Multi-touch functionality & high-end computing power
13 January 2014
With the new CP32xx Panel PC series from Beckhoff Automation, industrial multi-touch displays can now also be used as an all-in-one, high performance device directly in the field.

These powerful devices for mounting arm installation feature all-round IP 65 protection and integrate best-in-class multi-touch Control Panel technology with a high-performance add-on IPC, all in one compact housing.
The area at the rear of the CP32xx Panel PC, which is required for swivelling and tilting the connected mounting arm, is also efficiently used to accommodate the added IPC components using as little space as possible.
The components in this solution are thermally decoupled from each other: to save space, the computer is built around the integrated mounting arm in a u-shaped housing with cooling fins for passive cooling.
For maximum computing power beyond the standard 1.6GHz Intel Celeron CPU with two cores, the CP32xx Panel PCs also offer the option to use Intel Core i series processors of the second, third and fourth generations.
