Open communication systems.
For the integration of our controllers into an
existing automation topology, Beckhoff supports
all of the communication protocols commonly
used in the building automation market, such as:
.
BACnet, OPC UA,
Modbus TCP (automation level)
.
DALI, DMX, EnOcean, LON, EIB/KNX, SMI
MP-Bus, M-Bus, Modbus RTU (fi eld level)
The Bus Terminal Controllers and PCs
communicate right into the room automation
level via an Ethernet network. This way, lower-
level fi eldbus technology is not necessary in many
projects. Additional gateways for mapping the
data from lower-level fi eldbuses are therefore not
required.
TwinCAT – effi cient engineering for all
building systems.
The programming or parameterisation of all
systems takes place using TwinCAT automation
software. The PLC is programmed in accordance
with the IEC 61131-3 standard. Long-term access
to adequately qualifi ed technicians is required
for the permanent safe operation of a building.
Since the majority of controllers worldwide are
programmed according to IEC 61131-3, the
TwinCAT system is ideal for engineering
in building automation. All programs are
programmable in the same language and are
available as function blocks in the building
automation libraries. Life cycle costs are reduced,
because the expenditure for maintenance
concentrates on the same programming software.
