PRODUCTS

1. Industrial PC

Beckhoff IPC (Industrial PC) is a high-performance industrial computer designed for automation and control applications.

Powerful performance – Uses Intel CPUs, supports Windows or TwinCAT Real-Time OS.
Durable design – Withstands harsh environments, operates 24/7 reliably.
Integrated TwinCAT software – Enables easy programming and automation control.
Diverse models – Includes cabinet IPCs (C-Series), Panel PCs (touchscreen), and compact Embedded PCs.

Widely used in manufacturing, robotics, machine control, and industrial IoT.

2. TwinCAT software

TwinCAT 3 is an automation software that integrates real-time control with PLC, NC, and CNC functions in a single package.

Unified programming – Beckhoff uses TwinCAT Engineering (XAE) according to IEC 61131-3 standards, supporting C++, MATLAB®, Simulink®.
Powerful execution – The code is executed in the TwinCAT Runtime (XAR), a multitasking operating system running parallel to the host OS.
Flexible operating systems – Supports Windows and TwinCAT/BSD in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.
Optimized performance – Offers high determinism and the ability to fully utilize multicore CPU for better performance.

TwinCAT 3 enhances performance, expands control capabilities, and optimizes automation systems.

3. XTS Linear Transport System

With the XTS linear transport system, Beckhoff offers a proven drive solution in which magnetically driven movers move along a travel path of fully integrated motor modules. An Industrial PC with the TwinCAT automation software enables the independent control of the movers with individual motion profiles. This results in many system-related benefits: The transport system is ready for operation immediately after assembly, as power electronics and displacement measurement are included in the XTS motor modules and the movers are completely passive. Due to different geometries of the motor modules, both an open and a closed travel path can be created and the machine footprint can be reduced by individual track layouts. The XTS not only replaces conventional conveyor belts, but also enables an innovative design of the entire machine. With the flexible motion profiles, simple to highly complex processes can be realized and the entire manufacturing process can thus be optimized.
