The new MX-System from Beckhoff is intended to revolutionise control cabinet construction. A flexible, intelligent and space-optimised system solution that completely replaces the conventional control cabinet and is therefore intended to revolutionise control cabinet construction and automation in general.
As a system supplier, Beckhoff Automation offers virtually all components for automating a machine or plant in a wide range of services: TwinCAT control software, industrial PCs, controllers, I/Os, drives, motors, power supplies and cables form the basis for high-performance automation.
At the same time, Beckhoff has a wealth of experience in control cabinet construction, which the company has been doing since its foundation more than 40 years ago (currently employing around 250 people in this area of its production). To create the new MX-System, it has combined its know-how in system and component technology with its experience in practical applications.
The MX-System is a uniform automation kit that enables the complete replacement of the traditional control cabinet with easily configurable modules. The system consists of a robust IP67-protected aluminium base plate with integrated module slots featuring EtherCAT communication and an integrated power supply (protective extra-low voltages as well as 400 V AC and 600 V DC).
