1 Invitation Integrated Industry Join the Network! Hannover Messe April 2015 Hall 9, Booth F06

2 Hannover Messe: The world s largest platform for Industry 4.0 applications Hannover Messe is the platform showcasing the most comprehensive portfolio of exhibits for Industry 4.0 applications, spanning the entire value chain in the enterprise from industrial automation to the digital factory. This year s motto, Integrated Industry Join the Network!, emphasizes that the major challenges of Industry 4.0 such as widely accepted standards for vertical and horizontal communication or data security can only be mastered by all industrial players joining hands in a shared network. The ideal way to accomplish this is with an open, PC-based control architecture which Beckhoff will present in an over 1,000 square meter exhibition space. Additional highlights include the new EJ modules, the AX8000 multi-axis servo system and many-core machine control providing a new level of computing power for production lines and Smart Factories. We are looking forward to seeing you at the largest industrial trade show of the world! Plug & Work: Bus Terminals for circuit boards The new EtherCAT plug-in modules of the EJ series reduce assembly and wiring costs in large-scale machine production with many identical parts. The principle: I/O plug-in modules from a wide range of components can be flexibly combined and integrated into an applicationspecific distribution board. Instead of time-consuming manual wiring, prefabricated cable harnesses can be used so that the risk of wiring errors is minimised.

3 Many-core control: Maximised computing power with 36 processor cores To accommodate the rising demands posed by the Smart Factory with its highly intelligent machines and production systems, Beckhoff is introducing one of the most powerful controllers currently available with its C6670 industrial server. It is available with 12, 24, or 36 processor cores and 64 to 2,048 GB of RAM. With many-core machine control, additional control functions can be executed on a single CPU not only PLC and Motion Control, but also Condition Monitoring and energy management functions, a.o. This new level of computing power can be fully leveraged with TwinCAT 3.1.

4 The compact AX8000 multi-axis servo system With extremely short control cycles, the new AX8000 servo system for space-saving installation enables high-precision positioning and machining processes. Additional benefits include fast installation and commissioning by simply plugging together axis modules as well as the direct integration of safety functions, mains filters and One Cable Technology (OCT). FPGA-based control algorithms with multi-channel current control technology enable sample and response times of less than 1 µs for current control, and speed control cycle times as low as 16 µs.

5 Industry 4.0: More intelligence to enable Smart Factories At its Industry 4.0 Forum, Beckhoff will show that many innovations enabling Industry 4.0 are already available today. In a live demonstration Beckhoff will present a wealth of state-ofthe-art technologies: The entire system is governed by a powerful C6670 many-core computer. Beyond conventional control functions it also controls a linear extended Transport System (XTS) and a robot, and integrates measurement technology and Condition Monitoring. In addition, Beckhoff will demonstrate secure machine-to-machine communication right into the Cloud, and also sensor communication.
