Characteristic

Beckhoff offers comprehensive system solutions in different performance classes for all areas of automation. The control technology is scalable – from high-performance Industrial PC to mini-PLC – and can be adapted precisely to the respective application. In terms of software, the core of the control system has taken the form of The Windows Control and Automation Software – TwinCAT. TwinCAT transforms almost any PC-based system into a real-time control complete with multiple PLC, NC, CNC, and/or robotics runtime systems. The possibility of modular extensions means functional changes and additions can be made at any time. If required, the openness of the control system allows not only the integration of third-party components, but also customized retrofit solutions for existing machines and systems. This ensures flexibility and investment protection for the customer.
