The MX-System from Beckhoff is a flexible, space-optimised, and intelligent system solution that completely replaces the conventional control cabinet. It consists of a robust aluminum baseplate in protection class IP 67 with integrated module slots that feature EtherCAT for communication and an integrated power supply (safety extra-low voltages as well as 400 V(AC) and 600 V(DC)). The largest expansion stage can even accommodate a connected load of 400 V(AC)/63 A. Corresponding modules are available for the main connection and all other control cabinet functions. When it comes to connecting the field level, the modules use connection plugs that have been tried and tested for many years in the field of automation technology.
A system combination of baseplate and modules has a protection class of IP 67 and can be mounted directly on the machine. The system reduces the amount of effort involved for the manufacturer, especially during the planning and installation phases, while the integrated diagnostic functions reduce the complexity for the end user.
