Commissioning Installation in the control cabinet The C6015 Industrial PC is designed for installation in control cabinets in machine and plant technology. Please observe the environmental conditions prescribed for the operation (see Chapter 9 Technical data [} 40]). Using different mounting plates, you can align the cable entry based on the application requirements.
PC as required to align the connections in the control cabinet. You have the following mounting options, which are shown in Fig. 10: • Connections point upwards (A) • Connections point downwards (B) • Connections point to the right (C) • Connections point to the left (D) C6015 Version: 2.7...
Commissioning Fig. 10: C6015 _Mounting options for mounting plate 2 With the optional mounting plate 3 with DIN rail adapter, you can mount the Industrial PC on the DIN rail in the control cabinet via the narrow sides. You have the following mounting options, which are shown in Fig.
Fig. 12 gives an example of the dimensions using the mounting option via the rear of the device with mounting plate 1. Fig. 12: C6015 _mounting plate rear panel Fig. 13 shows the dimensions using the mounting option with the connections pointing to the right with mounting plate 2 as an example.
After you have drilled the holes for the fastening screws in the control cabinet, you can mount the Industrial PC in the control cabinet with mounting plates 1 or 2. Fig. 15: C6015 _Mounting plates for control cabinet installation To install the Industrial PC in the control cabinet, follow the steps below: 1.
3. Keep the device pressed upwards and also hook the upper side of the adapter into the DIN rail (C). ð You have successfully installed the Industrial PC on the DIN rail. Fig. 17: C6015_DIN rail adapter mounted Version: 2.7 C6015...
Devices connected to the Industrial PC with their own power supply must have the same potential for the PE and "0 V" conductors as the Industrial PC (no potential difference). 230 V 24 V Grounding busbar Fig. 18: C6015 _Wiring example C6015 Version: 2.7...

4. Fasten the power cable to the voltage connector 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. C6015 Version: 2.7...
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.

NOTE Use of incorrect spare parts The use of spare parts not ordered from Beckhoff Service can lead to unsafe and faulty operation. • Only use spare parts that you have ordered from Beckhoff Service. Beckhoff Industrial PCs are manufactured from components of the highest quality and robustness. They are selected and tested for best interoperability, long-term availability and reliable function under the specified environmental conditions.
To do this, remove the two Torx TX6 screws and take off the cover (see Fig. 23). Fig. 23: C6015 _Access to battery and storage media You now have access to the battery (1) and storage medium (2) (see Fig. 24).
It is used to supply power to the clock integrated on the motherboard. If the battery is depleted or missing, the date and time are displayed incorrectly. Replacement batteries should only be obtained from Beckhoff Service (see Chapter 10.1 Service and support).
If you want to exchange a storage medium according to Beckhoff's recommendation, you must copy the data from the old to the new storage medium. You can use the Beckhoff Service Tool (BST) for this purpose. The BST is a graphical backup and restore program for Industrial PCs with a Windows operating system. You can create an image of your operating system and use it to back up the operating system.
