CP-Link 4 PCIe compact module
The PCIe compact module contains a CP-Link 4 output with RJ45 socket, which enables operation of remote operating units. An operating panel with CP-Link 4 interface and an industrial PC can be connected at a distance of up to 100 m.
Please observe that the CP-Link 4-PCIe compact module can only be operated in the PCIe module slot 1 (see chapter 3.1 Structure).
The CP-Link 4 technology is supported by the Beckhoff multi-touch Panel series CP29xx-0010 (built-in devices) and CP39xx-0010 (mounting arm devices).
CP-Link 4 as PCIe module is available as two-cable display link. The industrial PC can be connected directly to the control panel via the module. USB 2.0 (100 Mbit/s) and DVI are transmitted together via a CP-Link 4 cable. An additional 24 V power supply is required for the panel (see Fig. 11).

No special drivers or software are required for CP-Link 4.
CP-Link 4 with transmitter box
Notice | |
Material damage due to double voltage connection with CU8803 Connecting an additional power supply to the voltage socket of the control panel can cause damage to the panel.
|
If the industrial PC is not equipped with a PCIe module, a transmitter box is required for connecting a panel. The transmitter boxes CU8802-0000 (two-cable display link) and CU8803-0000 (one-cable display link) are available for this purpose.
With the CU8802-0000, the industrial PC is connected to the transmitter box via USB and DP/DVI. The transmitter box is then connected to the control panel via the CP-Link 4 connection of the transmitter box using a CP-Link 4 cable. USB and DVI are transmitted together via this cable. An additional power supply is required for the panel (Two Cable Display Link). Fig. 13 shows the wiring with the CU8802-0000.
With the CU8803-0000, the industrial PC is also connected to the transmitter box via USB and DP/DVI. The transmitter box is then connected to the control panel via the CP-Link 4 connection of the transmitter box using a CP-Link 4 cable. With this box, USB, DP/DVI and power supply can be transmitted together via the cable (One Cable Display Link). Do not connect an additional power supply to the control panel to avoid damage. Fig. 14 shows the wiring with the CU8803-0000.
