At Hannover Fair 2013, Beckhoff Automation showed its solution for remote operator interface displays among other new products at the 2013 Hannover Fair. The company has combined a multi-touch panel with CP-Link 4, a new connection technology for operating panels located up to 100 m away from the industrial PC.
The single-cable solution can be used to transfer video signals, USB 2.0 and the power supply in a standard Cat. 7 cable, thus reducing cable and installation costs. A further benefit is the use of purely passive displays.
The CP-Link 4 technology is supported by the new Beckhoff multi-touch panel series CP29xx-0010 (built-in version) and CP39xx-0010 (with mounting arm).
