SAVAGE, Minnesota — To substantially boost the performance of multi-touch industrial displays via an all-in-one HMI and automation device, Beckhoff Automation has released the new CP22xx Panel PC series. Designed for cabinet installation, the CP22xx series combines the advantages of a modern multi-touch interface with high-performance multi-core processors for automation and control applications. With the company’s extensive range of Control Panels and Panel PCs, along with TwinCAT automation software, Beckhoff offers the ideal portfolio to efficiently solve all PLC, motion and HMI tasks in a machine or factory.

Adding to the flexibility of the CP22xx series is a range of available screen sizes from 12- to 24-inch, so the most challenging control and HMI tasks can be solved while precisely matching the devices to application-specific requirements.
