Beckhoff’s CU8210 devices establish wireless communications via PC USB port

Beckhoff Automation

The new CU8210 series WLAN and mobile devices from Beckhoff Automation establish wireless communication via the USB port of an industrial PC. They also provide all necessary physical protection for components that stick out of control cabinets.

The C8210-M001 cabinet dome features an IP66 protection rating when installed. The components inside the housing dome, such as the USB-2.0 stick for wireless connection, are completely protected against physical contact, dust, and moisture in industrial environments. The cabinet dome can therefore be mounted both in the panel of the control cabinet and directly on the machine or outside of control cabinets.
