Beckhoff implement open
automation systems based on PC-compatible control technology. The product
spectrum includes the Industrial PC, fieldbus components and automation
software. Products that can be used as separate components or integrated
into a complete control system are available in all three ranges. Components
and system solutions from Beckhoff are employed in a wide range of
applications all around the world: from high-speed machining centres to
intelligent building automation. Beckhoff, with their “New Automation
Technology”, have created a standard for all sectors of the automation
industry. |

Beckhoff‘s Drive
Technology completes the product range, consisting of Industrial PCs,
fieldbus components and software PLC/NCs, forming a total automation
system. The Industrial PCs from Beckhoff and the TwinCAT PLC/NC software
are ideally equipped for single and multiple axis positioning tasks with
high dynamic requirements. The extremely fast Industrial PCs, and the
function blocks associated with TwinCAT NC, can handle practically any
driverelated task. The convenient programming of the drive components
using TwinCAT NC PTP (Point To Point) along with the synergy of the
Industrial PC and the drive hardware have proven themselves in many
applications. The total Beckhoff Drive Technology solution consists:
- Digital compact Servoamplifier AX2000,
- Synchronous Servomotors AM2000,
- Linear Servomotors AL2000,
- and a comprehensive range of accessories.
Synchronous servomotors and servoamplifiers from Beckhoff together create
powerful, highly dynamic drive systems. The large number of available
fieldbus interfaces, from Lightbus and Profibus through to CANopen or
SERCOS interfaces, allow the Beckhoff drives to be integrated into complex
systems |

The fieldbus toolkit
Beckhoff provides an extensive range of fieldbus components for all common
I/O and fieldbus systems:
Bus Terminals, Fieldbus Box, Lightbus, PC Fieldbus Cards and Fieldbus
Modules.
With the bus terminals in protection class IP 20, and the Fieldbus Box
modules in protection to IP 67, the complete range is available for all
relevant signal types and fieldbus systems. The Beckhoff Lightbus is the
fast, secure fieldbus system, specially designed to meet the needs of
automation technology. The PC fieldbus cards have been particularly
developed for fast control and for real-time tasks, and can therefore be
used in a wide range of applications |

Performance from fieldbus to PCI bus
Beckhoff complete their offer of fieldbus components with the PCI-based PC
fieldbus cards for the Lightbus, Profibus, CANopen and DeviceNet. The power
of the intelligent fieldbus cards can be most easily seen in combination
with the TwinCAT software PLC and NC. The cards have been particularly
developed for fast controllers and for real-time tasks such as drive
position control, and can therefore be applied to a wide range of
applications. To enable universal application, the interface cards are
fitted with either one or two fieldbus channels.
TwinCAT I/O makes
available configuration tools and Windows NT/2000 drivers for programs in
any desired high level language (DLLs) and for Visual Basic applications
(ActiveX). Applications with OPC interfaces can access the interface cards
via an OPC server.
All cards mirror Beckhoffs exceptional fieldbus application know how e.g.
with the following features:
|
|
|
|
- |
fast data exchange
through short cycle times (for example, Profibus: down to 100 µs) |
|
- |
process data
communication is either free running, synchronised, synchronised with
delay or equidistant |
|
- |
powerful parameter
and diagnostics interfaces |
|
- |
freely configurable
bus management for every device |

TwinCAT
The Windows Control and Automation
Technology
The Beckhoff TwinCAT Software System turns any compatible PC into a
real-time controller with a multi-PLC system, NC axis control, programming
environment and operating station. TwinCAT replaces conventional PLC and
NC controllers as well as operating devices with:
|
|
- |
open, compatible
PC hardware |
|
- |
embedded IEC
61131-3 software PLCs and software NCs in Windows NT/2000/XP, NT/XP
Embedded, CE |
|
- |
programming and
run-time systems optionally together on one PC or separated |
|
- |
connection to all
common fieldbusses and PC interfaces for I/O signals |
|
- |
data communication
with user interfaces and other programs by means of open Microsoft
standards (OPC, OCX, DLL etc.) |
