Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can the CP6606-0001-0020 replace an older CP6606-0000-0020?
A: Yes. The -0001- suffix denotes the second hardware revision with improved EMC performance. It is backward-compatible with all TwinCAT 2/3 projects.
Q: Is TwinCAT 3 pre-installed?
A: The unit ships with Windows Embedded Standard 7. TwinCAT 3 runtime must be licensed and installed separately (TC1000 or TC1200 license required).
Q: Can I use a third-party CFast card as a replacement?
A: Beckhoff recommends industrial-grade CFast cards (SLC NAND). Consumer-grade cards may cause instability. Konmask supplies validated replacement CFast cards.
Q: What is the difference between CP6606-0001-0020 and CP6606-0001-0000?
A: The last four digits denote the CFast card size. -0020 = 8 GB; -0000 = no CFast included. Functionally identical otherwise.
Q: Is this unit compatible with EtherCAT terminals from other vendors?
A: Yes, provided the third-party terminals are EtherCAT conformance-tested (ETG certified). Beckhoff EL-series terminals are natively supported.
