Beckhoff Automation GmbH & Co. KG implements open automation systems using proven PC-based control technology. The main areas that the product range covers are industrial PCs, I/O and fieldbus components, drive technology, automation software as well as control cabinet-free automation. Product ranges that can be used as separate components or integrated into a complete and mutually compatible control system are available for all sectors. Our New Automation Technology stands for universal and industry-independent control and automation solutions that are used worldwide in a large variety of different applications, ranging from CNC-controlled machine tools to intelligent building control.
Since Beckhoff’s foundation in 1980, the development of innovative products and solutions on the basis of PC-based control technology has been the foundation of the company's continued success. We recognized many standards in automation technology that are taken for granted today at an early stage and successfully introduced to the market as innovations. Beckhoff’s philosophy of PC-based control as well as the invention of the Lightbus system and TwinCAT automation software are milestones in automation technology and have proven themselves as powerful alternatives to traditional control technology. EtherCAT, the real-time Ethernet solution, provides a powerful and future-oriented technology for a new generation of control concepts.
We deliver Panels and Industrial PCs for every application – with the latest technology for all performance classes. Use our I/O components to implement simple or complex applications with EtherCAT and other common fieldbus systems. Our innovative drive technologies give you almost unlimited capabilities when it comes to realizing your application. TwinCAT offers many features and various software function blocks for all automation tasks. Our MX-System combines all the technological innovations of automation technology in an IP67-capable modular system.
Beckhoff offers a scalable and modular component portfolio for the realization of all lighting concepts in stage and show technology, in unique applications and in the entertainment industry: from stage lighting to special lighting effects to hall and building lighting. The entire range of performances - from digital light control for simple switching operations to analog dimmer functions and protocols for lighting equipment control - is supported by the Beckhoff I/O terminals and seamlessly integrated into the control platform. In addition to DALI, DMX, sACN and Art-Net™, the communication protocols SMPTE-Timecode and PosiStageNet are also available: SMPTE-Timecode enables the exact synchronization and precisely repeatable sequential control of different technical systems in complex stage shows. For example, PosiStageNet can send position data from moving objects to the lighting control system in order to automatically "track" an object or to select lighting scenarios depending on the position.
The corporate headquarters of Beckhoff Automation GmbH & Co. KG in Verl, Germany, is the site of the central departments such as development, production, administration, sales, marketing, support and service. Beckhoff’s presence in the international market is guaranteed by its subsidiaries. Beckhoff is represented in more than 75 countries by worldwide cooperation partners.
