1)This option is not available in combination with stainless steel front.
PCIe modules
In addition, you can expand the panel PC with PCIe modules by ordering the device with PCIe module slots:
Ordering option | Description | Device generation |
|---|---|---|
C9900-B518 | 1 PCIe module slot, integrated in the CP27xx, for installation of Beckhoff PCIe modules, instead of a connector bracket for leading out interfaces | CP27xx-0010 CP27xx-0020 |
The PCIe module is the Beckhoff definition of a small plug-in card format with a PCIe-x1 bus interface. For ordering options, please contact your Beckhoff Sales department. If you have ordered your device without PCIe module slots and subsequently want to install PCIe modules, you must first send your device to Beckhoff Service for the conversion (see chapter 10.1 Service and Support).
If you have ordered the device without an already installed module, you have to replace the blank cover of the module slot with the ordered PCIe module on your own. To do this, loosen the two M3x4 screws of the covers, insert the modules and screw the M3x4 screws back in place.
Please refer to the current price list for the available PCIe modules.
