Our New Automation Technology stands for universal and industry-independent control and automation solutions that are used worldwide in a large variety of different applications, ranging from factory automation, intelligent building control to process automation.
PC-based control technology
Since Beckhoff’s foundation in 1980, the development of innovative products and solutions on the basis of PC-based control technology has been the foundation of the company's continued success. We recognized many standards in automation technology that are taken for granted today at an early stage and successfully introduced to the market as innovations. Beckhoff’s philosophy of PC-based control as well as the invention of the Lightbus system and TwinCAT automation software are milestones in automation technology and have proven themselves as powerful alternatives to traditional control technology. EtherCAT, the real-time Ethernet solution, provides a powerful and future-oriented technology for a new generation of control concepts.
“Engineers must save the world!”
Beckhoff offers wide range of trainings, consultancy and support services. Beckhoff solutions for Industrie 4.0 and IoT promote simpleness, openness and standardized. Beyond the scope of conventional control tasks, applications such as big data, data mining and condition or power monitoring enable the implementation of superior, forward-looking automation solutions. In Malaysia, we have branches in Penang (Northern region), Kuching (East Malaysia and Brunei region), Johor (Southern region), and headquartered in Petaling Jaya, Selangor.

Why is automation technology from Beckhoff ideal for the process industry?
The control system for process automation: PC-based control
In the process industry, there is increasing demand for innovative automation solutions that provide an increase in efficiency while taking production quality and safety into account. The development of new technologies opens up possibilities for optimizing production processes, both for modern new plants and when retrofitting existing plants. Beckhoff offers open automation solutions that precisely meet these requirements.
Your head start in the process industry with Beckhoff:
universal control system for all process technology applications
open interfaces offer flexibility and investment protection
extensive portfolio of components for explosion protection
seamless communication from zone 0 to the cloud
easy implementation of NOA, Ethernet-APL, and MTP
PC-based control - all control tasks on a single platform
The control system for process automation
Beckhoff calls on a comprehensive modular range of components and deep-rooted, cross-sector expertise to create open automation systems using PC-based control technology. All control functions, such as PLC, visualization, cloud connection, safety technology, and measurement technology, are integrated on a universal platform.
System-integrated solutions from Beckhoff offer an efficient alternative to traditional suppliers and are suitable for use in numerous markets, including oil and gas production, chemicals and petrochemicals, the hydrogen industry, metal processing, or the water and energy industries.
PC-based control for the process industry:
universal platform for the automation of all processes and plants
integration of all control functions in one system
high interoperability thanks to open interfaces in hardware and software
control and cable redundancy for increased plant availability
established worldwide across all industries
Controller redundancy - increased availability with TwinCAT Controller Redundancy
Integrated controller redundancy increases plant availability
With plant availability playing such a crucial role in the process industry, measures to increase this include using redundant architectures to safeguard against failures of individual control components. For redundant control operation, TwinCAT Controller Redundancy is available.
This system-integrated software solution allows two standard industrial PCs to be operated as redundant controllers that both run the same PLC program. An additional, high-performance network connection between the two controls provides the necessary data synchronization, and the fact that standard Ethernet is used means no dedicated hardware components are required. This ensures that only one of the two industrial PCs addresses the fieldbus components at any given time and that the control programs are executed on both computers with the same database. If one control fails, the second control seamlessly takes over, preventing plant downtime and data loss.
EtherCAT Terminals integrate all control functions
One control platform - safety, explosion protection, and measurement technology in one system
Beckhoff uses the principle of PC-based control technology to combine a range of I/O components in a single system. For example, EtherCAT Terminals used for integrating functional safety can be freely combined with EtherCAT measurement terminals and with I/O modules featuring an integrated safety barrier for connecting intrinsically safe field devices from the hazardous area. These elements can then be integrated into a holistic control system. This means that plant operators have an efficient complete solution at their disposal for all application-related requirements.
Flexible plant design with PC-based control:
integration of all I/O components into a single system
combination of safety, measurement technology, and explosion protection
openness toward third-party systems
high interoperability to simplify retrofits
system openness for investment protection
Connection of Ethernet-APL field devices to the modular I/O system
Ethernet-APL: A new communication standard for the process industry
The rise of digitalization, especially in the areas of plant diagnostics and monitoring, is currently one of the major topics in the process industry. Processing plants are generally very widespread and have particular requirements that are met by the specially developed standard Ethernet-APL, which offers a transmission rate of 10 Mbit/s and a cable length of up to 1000 meters.
Beckhoff integrates the Ethernet-APL technology into the modular terminal portfolio. The compact ELX6233 can be mounted in the control cabinet in combination with other EtherCAT Terminals. Two Ethernet-APL field devices can be connected via each ELX6233 terminal. As with all EtherCAT Terminals in the ELX series, the ELX6233 enables the direct connection of intrinsically safe field devices from zone 0.
TwinCAT - software platform for engineering and runtime
TwinCAT: The control platform for the process industry
With its TwinCAT automation software, Beckhoff offers a central platform for controlling process machines and plants. In addition to classic process control in the PLC program, algorithms written in C++, MATLAB® and Simulink® can also be executed in real time. The scope of application of PC-based control for process automation is extended with the comprehensive integration of specific process technology protocols and interfaces. By supporting common standards such as NAMUR, HART, and FDT/DTM, TwinCAT covers the application areas of process engineering applications.
TwinCAT highlights for the process industry:
control-integrated Industry 4.0 and IoT applications
comprehensive data evaluation with analytics functions
standardized communication via OPC UA
support for common standards such as NAMUR, HART, and FDT/DTM
execution of MATLAB® and Simulink® models
