Wire the Industrial PC in the control cabinet in accordance with the EN 60204-1:2006 standard on Protective Extra Low Voltage (PELV) so that one side of the circuit or a point on the power source of this circuit is connected to the protective conductor system. C6905 Version: 2.1...
The functional earth is necessary for the EMC of the device. The functional earth is established by connecting the grounding point on the PC mounting plate to the central grounding point of the control cabinet in which the PC is installed. Version: 2.1 C6905...
4. Screw the power cable to the voltage socket of the Industrial PC. 5. Connect the PC to your external 24 V power supply. 6. Switch on the 24 V power supply. 7. Measure the voltage on the power supply plug of the PC. C6905 Version: 2.1...
When you switch on the Industrial PC for the first time, the pre-installed operating system (optional) will be started. For any additional hardware you have connected, you have to install the drivers yourself afterwards. In addition, the Beckhoff Device Manager starts automatically. The Device Manager is a software from Beckhoff that supports you in configuring the PC.
• User name: Administrator • Password: 1 You also have the option of using the Beckhoff Device Manager to remotely configure the Industrial PC via a web browser. More detailed information is available in the Beckhoff Device Manager manual. Starting the Beckhoff Device Manager for the first time When your Industrial PC is booted for the first time, the Beckhoff Device Manager also starts automatically for the first time.
Secure passwords Strong passwords are an important prerequisite for a secure system. Beckhoff supplies the device images with standard user names and standard passwords for the operating system. It is imperative that you change these. Controllers are shipped without a password in the UEFI/BIOS setup. Beckhoff recommends assigning a password here as well.
To disconnect the cables from the Industrial PC, proceed as follows: 1. Make a note of the wiring configuration, if you wish to restore it with another device. 2. Disconnect the data transmission cables from the Industrial PC. 3. Finally, disconnect the grounding strap. C6905 Version: 2.1...
