Optional interfaces
A variety of interface options are available to you for extending your industrial PC beyond the basic equipment level with additional interfaces. The following table provides information on the available interfaces:
Ordering option | Description |
|---|---|
FC9071-0000 | Gigabit-Ethernet PC network card 10/100/1000 Mbit/s, 1-channel, PCIe interface, covers the fieldbus connection section |
C9900-E221 | 2 Motherboard USB ports led out on the front of a C6930 |
C9900-E237 | Additional DVI-D socket led out on a module bracket, cannot be ordered in combination with an additional DisplayPort interface |
C9900-E238 | Additional DVI-D socket led out on a slot bracket, only for PCs with plug-in card slots |
C9900-E292 | Additional DisplayPort interface, led out on a module bracket, max. resolution 1920 x 1080, can only be ordered once per PC and not in combination with a second DVI connection |
C9900-E294 | Additional DisplayPort interface, occupies the fieldbus connection section, max. resolution 1920 x 1080, can only be ordered once per PC and not in combination with a second DVI connection |
PCIe modules
In addition, you can extend the industrial PC by PCIe modules by using both of the device's PCIe module slots. The PCIe module is the Beckhoff definition of a small plug-in card format with a PCIe-x1 bus interface.
Different PCIe modules are available to you, depending on the device generation. Contact your Beckhoff distributor for the ordering options.
If you purchased your device in the basic version, you can subsequently extend it by the available modules. To do this, replace the blank panels (see fig. 7) with the PCIe modules by loosening the two Torx TX8 screws in the panels and tightening them again after inserting the modules.
PCI and PCIe plug-in card slots
In addition, you have the option to order the industrial PC with additional PCI and PCIe plug-in card slots. In this case you can extend the device by additional fieldbus interfaces and Ethernet ports. The following plug-in card slots are available to you:
Order identifier | Description |
|---|---|
C9900-B507 | 2 PCIe-x1 plug-in card slots on passive backplane, integrated in the C6930, for the insertion of PCIe-x1 plug-in cards up to 190 mm in length |
C9900-B511 | 2 PCI plug-in card slots on passive backplane, integrated in the C6930, for the insertion of PCI plug-in cards up to 190 mm in length |
C9900-B515 | 1 PCI and 1 PCIe-x1 plug-in card slot on passive backplane, integrated in the C6930, for the insertion of 1 PCI and 1 PCIe-x1 plug-in card up to 190 mm in length |
The plug-in card slots are located behind the flap next to the connection section of the industrial PC. In order to mount plug-in cards, you have to loosen the Philips screw and open the flap (see fig. 8).
When you have inserted the plug-in cards, the card connections are located on the right on the top side of the PC (see fig. 9).
The additional plug-in card slots change the dimensions of the industrial PC. The width of the device increases by 70 mm and the depth by 18 mm.
