The RJ45 connection technology with twisted-pair cables is used. The maximum length of the cable connection is 100 m.
The Industrial PC has four USB interfaces (X104-X107). They are used to connect peripheral devices with USB interfaces. The following table shows the interface assignment based on the device generation: Table 5: USB interfaces based on device generation Generation USB interfaces C6925-0020 4x USB 2.0 C6925-0030 4x USB 2.0 C6925-0040 2x USB 3.0...
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.

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. C6925 Version: 2.1...
If you ordered your device with an integrated UPS, then you can connect an external battery pack and install it on a DIN rail near to the PC. Use only Beckhoff battery packs for this: • C9900-U330: Universal battery pack for PCs and Panel PCs in any configuration •...
UPS output and the negative pole of the battery pack. The maximum load is 1.4 A (max. 2.5 A from year of manufacture 2016). Once the PC has been de-energized via the UPS software, the UPS output is switched to 0 V. A connected panel is switched off. C6925 Version: 2.1...
• Avoid switching off the power supply before shutting down the operating system. • Use the Beckhoff concept (see below) to shut down the operating system in a battery-friendly manner. When the system is switched off or disconnected from its own power supply, the Industrial PC is also switched off.
Call up the help files either directly from the configuration tab by clicking the Help button or start the file under Start > Programs > Beckhoff > UPS software components. The method of communication between your PC and the UPS depends on the PC generation. The following table provides information about the method of communication according to the device generation: Table 13: UPS communication...
• 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. First start Beckhoff Device Manager 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. Version: 2.1 C6925...
