Starting with the C6015, the new series of ultra-compact Industrial PCs has proven itself through its flexible usage possibilities. With the new C6030 the benefits such as low space requirement, universal usability and flexible mounting now also stand for applications with the highest performance demands. The multi-core computer integrates Intel® Core™-i processors of the 6th and 7th generation in a space of 129 x 133 x 76 mm and offers top performance with four cores and up to 3.6 GHz per core.

In the EL922x EtherCAT terminal series, Beckhoff has integrated electronic overcurrent protection for the protection of 24 V DC system components directly in the EtherCAT system. This enables a condition monitoring which reduces downtimes and consequently also costs. Another advantage is the reduced space requirement compared with conventional solutions due to two protection channels on only 12 mm width.
