PC- and EtherCAT-based control technology

Compact IPC wonders
The C69xx control cabinet PC series is extremely compact and has a robust alu-
minium housing. The C6915 with Intel® Atom™ CPU is currently Beckhoff’s smallest IPC. The C6930 supplements the series
by a version with RAID 1 controller.  C69xx

Maximum performance with EtherCAT
A fast bus system with short reaction times for tough real-time requirements is available in EtherCAT. All necessary process signals can be integrated simply and inexpensively into the controller via the Beckhoff I/O systems in protection class IP 20 or IP 67: from the digital I/Os, high-precision measuring terminals and safety functions to Condition Monitoring. EtherCAT

Scalable control technology
The Beckhoff Industrial PC and Embedded PC series are equipped with the latest processor technology, from the powerful Intel® Core™2 Quad up to the energy-saving Intel® Atom™ and offer scalable performance for all machine functions. The controller, which is based on IT standards, additionally features all necessary interfaces such as Ethernet, WLAN or RFID.  Industrial PC

EtherCAT Servo Drives
The Beckhoff AX5100 Servo Drive series with rated currents up to 170 A is universally designed for fast and highly-dynamic positioning tasks. The AX-Bridge quick connection system enables the simple and fast connection of several AX5000 devices to form a multi-axis system.  AX5000

TwinCAT 3 – eXtended Automation
TwinCAT 3 is the PC-based control software, with which the standard automation world is extended considerably. In addition to the object-oriented IEC 61131-3 extensions, the languages of the IT world are available in C and C++. The integration of Matlab®/
Simulink® enables the application in scientific fields. The modules for different languages run in a common runtime based on multi-core technology and a 32- or 64-bit operating system.  TwinCAT 3

TwinSAFE – safe data transmission
Safe I/O modules are available for the EtherCAT Terminals and the EtherCAT Box. Up to 128 safety-relevant bus devices can
be connected to the EL6900 Safety PLC for the EtherCAT Terminal system. The safety PLC features 256 integrated function blocks that can be configured or programmed depending on the application.  TwinSAFE
