Beckhoff MX-System automation hardware system standardizes electrical, mechanical interfaces

The MX-System from Beckhoff is a flexible, space-saving plant automation hardware system that can replace conventional control cabinets. Control system installation processes that normally took 24 hours or more now can be completed in just one hour.

As a modular control cabinet replacement that can also be decentralized on the machine if required, the system saves engineering, assembly, installation, and maintenance efforts, the company reports. It standardizes the electrical and mechanical interfaces for all electronic and electromechanical components.
