Beckhoff C6220 Control Cabinet PC – 6-Slot Industrial PC
Het item werd toegevoegd aan uw offerteaanvraag
Product Information
The Beckhoff C6220 is a Control Cabinet PC and Industrial PC from the C62xx Industrial PC family, designed for PC-based machine control and industrial automation systems. Its passive backplane provides six expansion slots for plug-in cards up to 190 mm in length. Depending on the hardware revision and configuration, the C6220 uses Intel Core Duo or Intel Core 2 Duo processor technology and includes a 2.5-inch HDD or SSD bay for the operating system, TwinCAT runtime configuration, and automation projects.
For service and commissioning, the C6220 provides front-accessible USB 2.0 Type-A connectivity and front-accessible RJ45 Ethernet with 10/100/1000 Mbit/s communication. EtherCAT operation depends on the installed EtherCAT PC interface card or the TwinCAT software control runtime. A replacement must therefore be checked against the motherboard and passive-backplane configuration, installed expansion cards, storage arrangement, and TwinCAT environment. The operating system, runtime configuration, and project files can be transferred through the 2.5-inch drive or a system image when the compatible hardware configuration is maintained.
The C6220 uses front-panel status indicators for system power, operating state, and storage drive access. Troubleshooting can include the front-panel indicators, TwinCAT System Manager, TwinCAT runtime system status logs, BIOS POST diagnostics, and operating-system Event Viewer or hardware diagnostic logs. Its IP20 enclosure is intended for installation inside a protected control cabinet. As a discontinued legacy Beckhoff control cabinet PC, the C6220 is relevant for replacement, repair, and refurbishment where the hardware revision and expansion-card requirements match.

Programming and Configuration
The Beckhoff C6220 is compatible with the Beckhoff TwinCAT software environment for PLC programming, motion control configuration, IPC commissioning, and system diagnostics. The required TwinCAT runtime configuration and automation project are stored on the internal 2.5-inch HDD or SSD together with the operating system.
When commissioning a replacement, transfer the existing storage drive or duplicate it with a system image where the compatible hardware configuration is retained. Check the C6220 hardware revision, motherboard, passive backplane, installed expansion cards, and TwinCAT runtime configuration before starting the machine.
Communication and System Integration
The C6220 provides a front-accessible USB 2.0 Type-A interface for peripherals and service tools. Its front-accessible RJ45 Ethernet interface supports 10/100/1000 Mbit/s communication using Ethernet.
EtherCAT operation is configuration dependent. It requires a compatible EtherCAT PC interface card or a TwinCAT software control runtime. Confirm the installed card and TwinCAT configuration when matching a spare C6220 to an existing Beckhoff C62xx control system.
Diagnostics and Status Indication
Front-panel status indicators show system power, operating state, and storage drive access. Additional troubleshooting methods include TwinCAT System Manager, TwinCAT runtime system status logs, BIOS POST diagnostics, and operating-system Event Viewer or hardware diagnostic logs.
Status LED Indicators
| LED | Color/Status | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Status LEDs | Indicates system power, operating state, and storage drive access on the front panel |
Replacement and Spare Part Considerations
A replacement Beckhoff C6220 should be matched by part number, hardware revision, motherboard and passive-backplane configuration, installed expansion cards, and storage arrangement. The six-slot backplane accepts plug-in cards up to 190 mm, while the exact PCI or PCIe arrangement depends on the installed hardware configuration.
Before commissioning a spare, verify the 2.5-inch HDD or SSD, operating system, TwinCAT runtime configuration, automation projects, and EtherCAT interface requirements. The C6220 is a discontinued legacy product, so configuration matching is important when repairing or refurbishing an existing Beckhoff control system.
