The Beckhoff C6650-0050 is a control-cabinet industrial PC built in a robust 7-slot ATX chassis for automation and machine control applications where expandability is essential. Designed for installation in an electrical enclosure, it provides easy access to drives and plug-in cards, with all external connections arranged on the top side for neat cabinet wiring. The platform supports Intel processors from the 6th and 7th generation range, with a standard configuration based on an Intel Celeron G3900 dual-core 2.8 GHz CPU and an ATX motherboard offering wide PCI/PCIe expansion (2 x PCIe x1, 2 x PCIe x4, 1 x PCIe x16 and 2 x PCI), accommodating add-in cards up to 210 mm in length.
As standard, the C6650-0050 includes 4 GB DDR4 memory (expandable up to 64 GB) and integrated Intel graphics with multiple display interfaces (2 x DVI and 1 x DisplayPort) for flexible HMI and monitor connectivity. Networking is handled by an on-board dual Gigabit Ethernet adapter (2 x 100/1000BASE-T), while storage is supported by an on-board SATA RAID-1 controller and a 1 TB 3.5-inch hard drive mounted in a removable frame, with options for SSDs and additional media where required. Connectivity for legacy and peripheral devices includes four on-board RS232 serial interfaces (one presented externally via a 9-pin D-sub), internal USB connectivity, and four externally accessible USB 3.0 ports, plus PS/2 keyboard and mouse connections. The unit is rated IP20, operates from 0 to 55 °C, is powered from 100–240 V AC, and has compact cabinet-friendly dimensions of 410 x 360 x 201 mm.

What is this unit used for in industrial environments?
It is a control-cabinet industrial PC designed to run machine and line control tasks, data acquisition, industrial networking, and PC-based automation where robust, service-friendly panel mounting is required.
How is the PC installed in a control cabinet?
The chassis is intended for control-cabinet installation (Schaltschrank). All external connections are arranged on the top side, helping with tidy cable routing inside the cabinet.
What expansion slots are available?
The system provides a 7-slot ATX layout with: 2 x PCIe x1, 2 x PCIe x4, 1 x PCIe x16, and 2 x PCI slots available for expansion cards.
What is the maximum expansion card length supported?
All slots can accept plug-in cards up to 210 mm long, making it suitable for many industrial interface and communication cards.
Which processor options can be configured?
The platform supports Intel Celeron, Pentium, and Core i3/i5/i7 processors (6th and 7th generation). The base configuration is an Intel Celeron G3900 (2.8 GHz, 2 cores), with optional upgrades depending on the required performance level.
How much memory does it have, and can it be expanded?
It is supplied with 4 GB DDR4 RAM as standard and can be expanded up to 64 GB DDR4, depending on the chosen configuration.
