Beckhoff offers PC- and EtherCAT-based automation solutions for wind turbines. The integration of PLC, safety technology and Condition Monitoring as well as lower level bus systems on one control platform simplifies the engineering and reduces space requirements and costs. The plant manufacturers obtain high investment security by means of the employment of open, industrial communication standards, such as IEC 61400-25, Ethernet TCP/IP and OPC, as well as the support of the EON guidelines for feed-in.
