EtherCAT I/O system<br />

Industrial Ethernet in the electronic terminal block: full Ethernet<br />

compatibility, maximum utilisation of the Ethernet bandwidth<br />

and outstanding real-time characteristics at low costs –<br />

the EtherCAT I/O system of <strong>Beckhoff</strong>.<br />

XFC EtherCAT Terminals<br />

EtherCAT and XFC enable new dimensions in control technology.<br />

Extremely short reaction times increase product quality and production<br />

safety.<br />

We reserve the right to make technical changes.<br />

<strong>Beckhoff</strong> is Microsoft Embedded Gold<br />

Partner and demonstrates above-average<br />

know-how and first rate embedded technology<br />

knowledge.<br />

TwinCAT and the <strong>Plastic</strong> Application Framework<br />

TwinCAT integrates real-time control with a PLC system, Motion <strong>Control</strong><br />

and programming environment in a single package. Programming<br />

is executed in accordance with the IEC 61131-3 standard. Turnkey<br />

solutions <strong>for</strong> injection molding machines, blow molding machines and<br />

extrusion plants are available in the technology modules of the <strong>Plastic</strong><br />

Application Framework. Process-specifi c user interfaces supplement<br />

the Framework, representing a complete industry solution.<br />

Windows operating systems<br />

<strong>Beckhoff</strong> relies on the global Windows standard from Microsoft <strong>for</strong> the<br />

operating system. TwinCAT is embedded in Windows XP, Embedded<br />

Standard or Windows CE.<br />

XFC – eXtreme Fast <strong>Control</strong><br />

XFC is <strong>based</strong> on an optimised control and communication<br />

architecture comprising an advanced<br />

Industrial <strong>PC</strong>, ultra-fast I/O terminals with<br />

extended real-time characteristics, the EtherCAT high-speed Ethernet<br />

fieldbus, and the TwinCAT automation software. Because of the high<br />

data throughput, processes can be controlled more precisely and the<br />

use of raw materials can be reduced, thereby boosting profi tability.<br />

<strong>Beckhoff</strong> Servo Drives permit the replacement of hydraulic drive technology<br />

and thus contribute to energy-saving production.<br />

CANopen, PROFINET<br />

Bus interface connections in the terminal network minimise processor<br />

loading. The integration of CANopen devices or PROFINET, <strong>for</strong> example,<br />

is possible via fi eldbus gateway terminals. Euromap-compatible communication<br />

with peripherals takes place via CANopen.<br />
