Beckhoff develops and manufactures PC-based control technology – from PLCs and real-time operating systems to highly dynamic servo systems. The open architecture of the Beckhoff platform enables integration of all common fieldbus systems including EtherCAT, PROFINET, CANopen and many more.

At the heart of the system is TwinCAT, the universal engineering and runtime environment that combines PLC, motion control, HMI and safety on a single platform. Beckhoff industrial PCs and embedded controllers are designed for tough industrial use – from simple machine control to complex multi-axis regulation.

With EtherCAT technology – the world's fastest industrial Ethernet system – Beckhoff sets benchmarks for response times and synchronisation accuracy. Lieske Elektronik, as an authorised reseller, gives you access to the complete Beckhoff portfolio for your industrial projects.

Frequently Asked Questions about Beckhoff

Which fieldbus systems does Beckhoff support?

Beckhoff systems support all common industrial fieldbus systems: EtherCAT, PROFINET, PROFIBUS, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, CANopen, DeviceNet and many more. Via corresponding I/O terminals or fieldbus couplers, virtually all existing networks can be connected.

Can TwinCAT run on existing hardware?

TwinCAT 3 runs as a real-time extension under Windows on standard PC hardware. For productive use, however, Beckhoff recommends certified industrial PCs from their own portfolio, which are optimised for long-term availability and real-time operation.
