4.3 Connecting 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 24 V DC (-15 %/+20 %) for operating the device.

The cabling of the Industrial PC in the control cabinet must be done in accordance with the standard EN
60204-1:2006 PELV = Protective Extra Low Voltage:
• The PE conductor (protective earth) and the "0 V" conductor of the voltage source must be on the
same potential (connected in the control cabinet).
• Standard EN 60204-1:2006, section 6.4.1:b stipulates that one side of the circuit, or a point of the
energy source for this circuit must be connected to the protective earth conductor system.

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).

4.3.1 Grounding 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 earth) 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 in-
terference.
• Only use the device with functional earth.

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of the Industrial PC includes on the one hand not affecting other
devices and equipment by electromagnetic interference and on the other hand not being disturbed by
electrical or electromagnetic effects itself.

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 functional earth is necessary for the EMC of the device. The functional earthing is also established via
the earthing connection between the protective conductor connection on the device and the central
grounding point of the control cabinet in which the PC is installed.

4.3.2 Connecting 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 all 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 [} 31]) and then
plug in all data transfer cables.

Connecting the power supply

Cables with a maximum cable cross-section of 1.5 mm2 can be used for connecting the power supply. For
long supply lines, use 1.5 mm2 cables to achieve a low voltage drop on the supply line. There should be at
least 22 V at the voltage connector of the Industrial PC, so that the PC remains switched on during voltage
fluctuations.

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 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.

4.4 Switching the Industrial PC on and off

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 the running software is terminated and the operating system is shut
down can lead to data loss.
• Quit the running software and shut down the operating system before switching off the PC.

When the system is switched off or disconnected from its own power supply, the Industrial PC is also
switched off.

To shut down the operating system properly, you can install an additional ON/OFF switch next to the
machine's main switch to turn the machine on and off. The main switch can thus remain switched on in
principle and thus ensures that the PC is still supplied with power during the shutdown of the operating
system.

If 24 V is then applied to the input PC_ON via a switch, the operating system shuts down properly. The
PC_ON signal is inverted, i.e. the operating system shuts down when 24 V is applied.

Once the operating system has shut down, the PC power supply unit sets the output power status from 24 V
to 0 V. This indicates that the shutdown is complete and you can turn off the power supply. Via the output,
you can switch, for example, a contactor that switches off the entire system. 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.

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 media
• Fan

The following table provides recommendations for the regular, precautionary replacement of the PC
components:

Table 21: Replacement recommendations for PC components

Component Recommendation for replacement intervals

(years)
UPS battery pack 5 years
2.5-inch hard disk 5 years or after 20,000 operating hours at more than

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
The replacement of device components without ESD protection can lead to functional impairment and de-
struction of the device.
• If possible, apply ESD protection measures during maintenance work.

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 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:

C6032 Version: 3.0 39

Maintenance

• ESD-compliant floors with sufficient conductivity to the reference potential PE;

• 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.
For example, the following measures can be used:
• Use conductive mats connected to the ground potential as underlays.
• Dissipate possible charges from your own body by touching grounded metal (e.g. control cabinet door).
• Wear a wrist grounding strap.
• Only remove new electronic components from the ESD packaging (tinted plastic bag) after putting on
the wrist grounding strap.
• Do not walk around with electronic components in your hand if they are not in ESD packaging.

Access to exchangeable device components

You can access the device components to be replaced via the cover on the right-hand side. In the first step

7.2.2 Replacing the storage media

New storage media should only be obtained from Beckhoff Service (see Chapter 10.1 Service and support).

The C6032 contains one or two M.2 SSDs.

Data transfer before replacement

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. You can then
restore the images created in this way. The BST is available on a bootable BST USB flash drive. This
includes Windows and a backup software. Select the size of the BST USB flash drive according to the size of
the backup copy of your operating system. You can then keep the flash drive as a backup copy. For this
purpose, the BST USB flash drives with SLC flash are designed for a particularly long data preservation. For
more information on the function of the BST, please refer to the corresponding documentation.

If your storage medium is defective and there is no backup, Beckhoff Service can provide you with a fresh
Windows image. For this to be possible, the Beckhoff IPC must already have been shipped with a valid
operating system license. When installing the fresh image, the applications must be reinstalled.

If you have mirrored two SSDs in a RAID configuration and one of them has failed, you must first identify the
faulty disk. You can check in the runtime of your operating system which SSD you have to replace, SATA 0
or SATA 1. Fig. 30 shows the position of SATA 0 and SATA 1 in the Industrial PC. Please note the following:
• For the generation C6032-0060, diagram A in the figure applies.
• For the generation C6032-0070, diagram B in the figure applies.
