CP-Link 1.5

CP-Link by Beckhoff Automation

CP-Link is Beckhoff’s display and input extension solution that separates the operator interface from the industrial PC. It transmits video and standard HMI inputs (such as touch, keyboard, and mouse) over long distances with minimal cabling, enabling centralized computing with remote Beckhoff Control Panels across machines and production lines. Designed for industrial environments, CP-Link supports high‑resolution visualization, reliable real‑time input, and streamlined commissioning.

Key benefits:

• Centralized IPC with remote operator panels for flexible machine layouts
• Long‑distance panel connection over a single, simplified cable (version‑dependent)
• High‑quality video and responsive input for demanding HMIs
• Easy setup and diagnostics with seamless integration in Beckhoff ecosystems
• Reduced cabinet space and wiring complexity, improving serviceability

Typical use cases:

• Remote operator stations on large or distributed machines
• Retrofitting HMIs without relocating the industrial PC
• Environments where compute must remain in a protected control room

Note: Features and specifications vary by CP-Link generation and configuration (for example, supported cable types, distance, and power options). For exact capabilities, consult the relevant Beckhoff CP-Link product documentation.
