Beijer Electronics X2 control 15‑B2 HMI & CODESYS Soft PLC Panel Product Description

Overview

Beijer Electronics X2 control 15‑B2 is a 15.4-inch all-in-one HMI + soft PLC panel from Beijer X2 control series, order code 640002405. This unit integrates iX HMI visualization runtime and CODESYS 3.5 soft control on the same hardware, supporting EtherCAT, Modbus, CANopen and serial communication for decentralized automation. X2 control 15‑B2 is widely used for machine building, marine automation, packaging and material handling equipment, commonly used for cabinet upgrade and spare‑part replacement of existing Beijer X2 control systems.

Features

Beijer Electronics X2 control 15‑B2 adopts i.MX6 Quad Cortex‑A9 1.0 GHz quad-core processor, 2 GB RAM and 2 GB eMMC flash, delivering fast HMI screen refresh and deterministic PLC logic execution. This Beijer panel is equipped with a resistive touch TFT screen, front IP65 protection for panel cutout installation. X2 control 15‑B2 carries dual 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports (EtherCAT standard), multi‑function serial port, dual USB host and 2 built‑in solid-state digital outputs. The CODESYS soft PLC supports standard IEC 61131‑3 programming, independent of the HMI runtime. This panel obtains multiple marine approvals including DNV, ABS, LR, CCS, suitable for offshore and ship cabin environments.

Principle

Beijer Electronics X2 control 15‑B2 runs two independent runtime environments on the same hardware. The CODESYS soft PLC executes IEC 61131‑3 control logic, exchanges process data with remote EtherCAT slaves, I/O modules and drives, and performs closed‑loop control and interlock logic. The iX HMI runtime reads PLC tags, displays alarms, trends and recipe screens, and sends operator commands back to the soft PLC. Data exchange between HMI and PLC is internal, no extra communication wiring required. All fieldbus and serial signals connect to field sensors and actuators via the rear connectors.

Applications

Beijer Electronics X2 control 15‑B2 is deployed in packaging machinery, material handling systems, marine auxiliary automation, water treatment skids and general standalone machine control. This Beijer panel replaces separate PLC + HMI architecture to reduce cabinet components. X2 control 15‑B2 fits machine retrofit and spare replacement of X2 control series integrated control panels.

Installation & Maintenance Notes

Follow official Beijer X2 control hardware manual during installation of X2 control 15‑B2. Confirm 24 VDC power polarity and shielded Ethernet wiring for EtherCAT communication. Back up CODESYS application and iX HMI project before replacement. After replacement, download both CODESYS program and HMI project, verify fieldbus mapping and DO function. Inspect touch overlay, connector tightness and cooling status regularly in dusty and vibration environments. Confirm exact model X2 control 15‑B2 and order code 640002405 before spare‑part swap‑out to verify runtime license, communication interface and marine version compatibility.
