Control cabinets have long been a proven solution in industrial automation. With the MX-System, Beckhoff offers a modular alternative that can be integrated directly into the machine. The MX-System combines controls, drive technology, safety technology, and I/O modules in an integrated, robust system. The modules are interconnected via a standardized interface for power supply and communication, and come pre-assembled and ready for immediate use. This reduces wiring work, saves space, and speeds up commissioning – without compromising on full scalability and high performance.
