Beckhoff has been implementing open – automation systems based on PC control technology for over 40 years. Its automation products cover a wide range, mainly including the following categories:
- Industrial PCs: Beckhoff offers panels and industrial PCs for various applications, with the latest technology for all performance classes. They can be used as the core computing platform of the automation system, providing powerful computing power and stable operation performance for the entire system.
- I/O and Fieldbus Components: The I/O components can be used to implement simple or complex applications in combination with EtherCAT and other common field – bus systems. These components support various signal types and have the characteristics of high – reliability and flexibility, which can realize the connection and data transmission between the field devices and the control system.
- Drive Technology: Beckhoff’s innovative drive technologies, such as the AMP8000 drive system, offer almost unlimited capabilities for application realization. The AMP8000 drive system integrates distributed servo functions in the motor, which can adjust the number and output of motors according to the size and load requirements of wind turbines, providing higher efficiency and sufficient torque for safety functions. In addition, the AX1000 and AF1000 economy drive systems are compact and cost – effective, supporting asynchronous, synchronous, and reluctance motors, with optional integrated safety functions and high – overload capacity.
- Automation Software: TwinCAT is the core automation software of Beckhoff, which offers many features and various software function blocks for all automation tasks. It can be used to realize the control, monitoring, and optimization of various industrial processes. For example, TwinCAT 3 Wind Framework can provide system programming help and support for wind turbine manufacturers, and TwinCAT 3 Building Automation software library can provide ready – to – use templates for typical building automation application scenarios such as HVAC and room automation.
- Control Cabinet – free Automation (MX – System): The MX – system is a pluggable system solution for control cabinet – free automation. It has a compact metal housing, which is space – saving and robust. It can be directly integrated into the machine, reducing cable length, and is easy to install and maintain. The plug – and – play modules can be replaced by non – specialist personnel, and it also supports smart diagnostics via Bluetooth, which can quickly detect faults and minimize downtime.
- Machine Vision Hardware: Beckhoff provides a balanced hardware portfolio for industrial machine vision, realizing complete system integration from a single source. Beckhoff Vision includes cameras, optics, illumination, accessories, and software, which are seamlessly integrated into the system. It has the advantages of easy installation based on EtherCAT P and flexible implementation, and can meet the needs of various machine vision applications.
Beckhoff’s automation products can be used as separate components or integrated into a complete and seamless control system, and are widely used in various industries, such as CNC – controlled machine tools, wind turbines, and intelligent building automation.
