Beckhoff Automation develops PC-based control technology built around Industrial PCs, real-time Ethernet communication, and modular I/O terminals. Beckhoff PLC systems are used to implement controller architectures where logic execution, fieldbus communication, and I/O processing are handled within a PC-based runtime environment. PLC Direct supplies Beckhoff PLC hardware used for replacement and lifecycle support within Beckhoff automation systems.
Why Choose Beckhoff: Reliable and Innovative Automation Solutions
Beckhoff is defined by its PC-based control concept, where PLC functionality runs on Industrial PCs rather than dedicated controller hardware. Beckhoff PLCs are designed around modular I/O terminals and high-speed fieldbus communication, enabling control architectures to be assembled at the I/O and IPC level instead of through fixed PLC families.
This approach allows Beckhoff PLC systems to be built around:
- Industrial PC–based controllers executing automation logic
- Terminal-based I/O systems assembled per signal requirement
- High-speed EtherCAT communication architectures
- Controller configurations defined by software runtime and hardware selection
This design model reflects Beckhoff’s emphasis on software-defined control executed on standardized PC hardware.
