The fieldbus toolkit

Beckhoff provide an extensive range of fieldbus components for all common I/O and fieldbus systems. With the bus terminals in protection class IP 20, and the Fieldbus Box modules in protection class IP 67, the complete range is available for all relevant signal types and fieldbus systems.

The Beckhoff Lightbus is the fast, secure fieldbus system, specially designed to meet the needs of automation technology. EtherCAT, the new real-time Ethernet fieldbus from Beckhoff is a further development of the Lightbus system. EtherCAT reaches new dimensions in network performance.

The PC fieldbus cards have been particularly developed for fast control and for real-time tasks, and can therefore be used in a wide range of applications. The I/O range is completed with the appropriate cord sets, programming and configuration tools.
