Product overview Interface description In the basic configuration, the C6040 includes the following interfaces: • Power supply (X101) • Ethernet RJ45 (X102-X107) • USB (X108-X113) • DisplayPort (X114, X115) 3.2.1 Power supply The industrial PC is supplied with a nominal voltage of 24 V. The 4-pin voltage socket (X101) is used for connection to the power supply and the external wiring of the industrial PC.
3.2.2 Ethernet RJ45 The C6040 has six Gigabit LAN ports (X102-X107). The Ethernet standards 100Base-T and 1000Base-T enable the connection of corresponding network components and data rates of 100/1000 MBit/s for X102 (LAN1). The Ethernet standards 100Base-T, 1000Base-T and 2500Base-T allow for X103-X107 (LAN2- LAN6) the connection of corresponding network components and data rates of 100/1000/2500 Mbit/s.

4. Check the contents for visible shipping damage. 5. In case of discrepancies between the package contents and the order, or in case of transport damage, please inform Beckhoff Service (see Chapter 10.1 Service and Support [} 41]). C6040 Version: 1.0...
Commissioning Control cabinet installation The C6040 Industrial PC is designed for mounting in control cabinets in machine and plant engineering applications. The environmental conditions specified for operation must be observed (see chapter 9 Technical data [} 40]). Using different mounting plates, you can align the cable entry based on the application requirements.
With the optional mounting plate 2, you can mount the industrial PC only via the right-hand side panel. Before screwing on the plate, you can align the PC as follows (see Fig. 10): • Connections point to the right (A) • Connections point to the left (B) Fig. 10: Mounting options for mounting plate 2 C6040 Version: 1.0...
• Protect the device against dust, moisture and heat. • Do not block the ventilation slots of the device. When installing in the control cabinet, note that there must be 5 cm of free space around the device for air circulation. Mounting via mounting plates Version: 1.0 C6040...
1. Place the fastening screws in the drill holes in the rear panel of the control cabinet. 2. Hang the PC on the screws at the marked points of the mounting plate (see Fig. 13). 3. Tighten the fastening screws. ð You have successfully installed the industrial PC in the control cabinet. C6040 Version: 1.0...
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. 14: Wiring example Version: 1.0 C6040...
