4.3Connecting the Industrial PC
CAUTION
Risk of electric shock
Dangerous touch voltages can lead to electric shock. To avoid electric shock, observe the following:
• Never connect or disconnect the device cables during a thunderstorm.
• Provide protective earthing for handling the device.
To prepare the Industrial PC for operation, it must be connected. The first step is to ground the device. Then
you can connect the cables and the power supply.
An external power supply unit is required to supply 24VDC (-15%/+20%) for operating the device.
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.
Set "PE" and "0 V" (24 V power supply) to the same potential (connected in the control cabinet).
Connected devices that have their own power supply must have the same potential for "PE" and "GND" as
the Industrial PC system (no potential difference).
Fig.15: C6025 _Wiring example
C602524Version: 1.5
Commissioning
4.3.1Grounding of the Industrial PC
Potential differences are minimized and electrical currents are diverted to the ground through grounding or
potential equalization of electronic devices. This is to prevent dangerous touch voltages and electromagnetic
interference.
The protective conductor connection PE is located on the housing of the Industrial PC (see also Chapter 3.1
Structure [}9]), which ensures both the protective earthing of the PC and the functional earthing. Therefore,
use cables with a cross-section of at least 4 mm2 for the connection of the protective conductor.
Protective earth
By connecting the PE protective conductor connection to the central grounding point of the control cabinet
panel in which the PC is installed, you establish low-resistance protective earthing of the Industrial PC and
thus avoid dangerous touch voltages.
EMC
NOTE
Hardware damage due to electromagnetic interference
Using the Industrial PC without functional earthing can lead to hardware damage due to electromagnetic interference.
• Only use the device with functional earthing.
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) refers to the Industrial PC's ability not to interfere with other devices
and equipment through electromagnetic interference, and not to be disturbed by electrical or electromagnetic
effects.
For this purpose, the Industrial PC must comply with certain protection requirements. The Industrial PC has
EMC interference immunity according to EN 61000-6-2. The EMC interference emission of the device meets
the requirements of EN 61000-6-4.
The EMC of the device is improved by functional earthing. You also establish the functional earthing by
connecting the PE protective conductor connection to the central grounding point of the control cabinet panel
in which the PC is installed.
C602525Version: 1.5
Commissioning
4.3.2Connecting cables and power supply
NOTE
Incorrect connection procedure
Incorrect procedure when connecting the cables and the power supply can cause hardware damage.
• Follow the documented procedure for connecting the cables and the power supply.
• Always connect the cables first and only then switch on the power supply.
• Please read the documentation for the external devices prior to connecting them.
Connecting cables
The connections are located in the front of the Industrial PC and are documented in Chapter 3.1 Structure
[}9].
Make sure that you first ground the PC (see Chapter 4.3.1 Grounding of the Industrial PC [}25]) and then
plug in all data transfer cables.
Connecting the power supply
Cables with a maximum cable cross-section of 1.5mm2 must be used for connecting the power supply. To
achieve the lowest possible voltage drop on the supply cable, we recommend connecting the maximum
possible cross-section. In the case of longer distances between the voltage source and the PC, take into
account the voltage drop in relation to the cable cross-section and voltage fluctuations in your supply
voltage, so that is secured that the voltage doesn´t fall under 22 V at the power supply.
Proceed as follows to connect the 24 VDC power supply unit:
1. Check the correct voltage of your external power supply.
2. Install the power cable.
3. Plug the power cable into the four-pin voltage connector of the Industrial PC.
4. Fasten the power cable to the power plug of the Industrial PC.
5. Connect the PC to your external 24 V power supply.
6. Switch on the 24V power supply.
C602526Version: 1.5
Commissioning
4.4Switching the Industrial PC on and off
The Industrial PC does not have its own mains switch. Instead, the wiring for starting up and shutting down
the PC is connected via input PC_ON. You can connect a switch to the PC_ON input and use it as a
standard power switch. This allows you to position the switch as desired and make it easily accessible.
The Power Status signal indicates whether the PC is switched on or off. Read this signal to find out when
you can switch off the main supply voltage.
First switching on and driver installation
NOTE
Public networks
Connecting the PC to public networks without additional protective measures can compromise the safety of
the device.
• Protect the PC before connecting it to public networks.
The Industrial PC is started when the system is switched on or when the power supply is connected.
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.
If you have ordered the PC without an operating system, you must install this and the driver software for the
additional hardware you have connected and for the devices in the PC yourself. Please follow the
instructions in the documentation for the operating system and the additional devices.
Switching off the Industrial PC
NOTE
Data loss due to running software
Switching off the Industrial PC before ending the running software and shutting down the device can lead to
data loss.
• Quit the running software and shut down the device before switching it off.
When the system is switched off or disconnected from its own power supply, the Industrial PC is also
switched off.
If 24 V are applied to the PC_ON input, the PC shuts down properly. The PC_ON signal is inverted, i.e. the
PC shuts down if the 24 V connection is live.
Once the PC has shut down, the Power Status output is switched from 24 V to 0 V. This output can be used,
for example, to switch a contactor that disconnects the entire system from the power supply. The maximum
load for the Power Status output is 0.5 A and a suitable fuse should be provided.
You can assign different access rights to all users in the operating system and in the application software.
Since there is a risk of data loss if the Industrial PC is switched off incorrectly, assign the rights advisedly. A
user who is not allowed to terminate the software should not be allowed to switch off the Industrial PC.

here as well.
Please note the following:
• Passwords should be unique for each user and service.
• Only change passwords after an incident in which passwords have become known without
authorization.
• Train the device users in the use of passwords.
A secure password has the following characteristics:
• Password complexity: The password should contain capital and lower-case letters, numbers,
punctuation marks and special characters.
• Password length: The password should be at least 10 characters long.
You can generate the password in different ways. An example is shown in the following table:

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.
Nevertheless, some components of the Industrial PC may be subject to a limited service life if they are
operated under certain conditions, such as more demanding ambient conditions during operation or during
storage, or if they are out of service for long periods of storage.
Beckhoff therefore recommends replacing some of the Industrial PC components after the time after which
predictions of the remaining service life of such components can no longer be reliably calculated.
These are the following components:
• Battery
• Storage medium
The following table provides recommendations for regular replacement of PC components:
Table14: Replacement recommendations for PC components

Beckhoff is excluded from liability in the event of possible damage occurring during maintenance work.
Before working on the device, you should have established ESD protection to prevent damage to the device
through electrostatic discharge.
ESD protection
NOTE
Electrostatic discharge
Handling the Industrial PC without ESD protection can lead to functional impairment and destruction of the
device.
• Provide an ESD protected working environment for handling the device.
When working on electronic devices, there is a risk of damage due to ESD (electrostatic discharge), which
can impair the function or destroy the device.
Protect the Industrial PC and create an ESD-protected working environment in which any electrostatic
charges are discharged to the ground in a controlled manner and charging is prevented.
The best way to create an ESD-protected working environment is to set up ESD protection zones. The
following measures serve this purpose:
• ESD-compliant floors with sufficient conductivity to the reference potential PE;
C602535Version: 1.5
Maintenance

2
• ESD-compatible, dissipative clothing such as shoes and safety shoes, protective gloves, protective
clothing over normal clothing;
• ESD-compatible work surfaces such as tables and shelves;
• Wrist grounding strap, especially for sedentary activities;
• grounded and electrostatically dissipating equipment and operating materials (e.g. tools) within the
ESD protection zone.
If it is not possible to create an ESD protection zone, you can still protect the device against ESD damage.
The following means can be used for this purpose:
• Wrist grounding strap
• Conductive mats connected to the ground potential for temporary storage of components
• ESD-compliant, conductive tool
Access to exchangeable device components
You can access the device components to be replaced via the cover on the left-hand side. You gain access
