Kraus & Naimer, a specialist in switches and cam controllers, manufactures and tests up to 8,000 switches every day, from small control switches to large devices for power plants. Amazingly, even EtherCAT, the fastest Industrial Ethernet technology, runs in boost mode here.

EtherCAT
Outstanding performance, flexible topology and simple configuration characterize the real-time Ethernet technology.
I/O
Use our I/O components to implement simple or complex applications with EtherCAT and other common fieldbus systems.
Automation
TwinCAT offers many features and various software function blocks for all automation tasks.
Embedded PCs
With the CX series of Embedded PCs, Beckhoff has combined PC technology and modular I/O level to form a space-saving DIN rail unit in the control cabinet.
TwinCAT
The TwinCAT software system turns almost any PC-based system into a real-time control with multiple PLC, NC, CNC and/or robotics runtime systems.
TwinCAT 3 HMI
By integrating the Human Machine Interface into the engineering environment of Visual Studio® and TwinCAT 3, Beckhoff opens the way for the next HMI generation.
EtherCAT Terminals
The EtherCAT Terminal system provides a comprehensive range of products for all signals in the world of automation.
EL/ED5xxx | Position measurement
The EL/ED5xxx EtherCAT Terminals are intended for the evaluation of complex signals from absolute and incremental encoders.
EL5001 | EtherCAT Terminal, 1-channel encoder interface, SSI
The EL5001 EtherCAT Terminal is an SSI master and enables the direct connection of an absolute encoder with SSI (synchronous serial interface). Both singleturn and multiturn encoders are supported. The 24 V supply of the encoder can be provided directly via the terminal connection points. The EL9505 power supply unit terminal can be used for an optional 5 V encoder operating voltage.
EL/ED2xxx | Digital output
The EL/ED2xxx EtherCAT Terminals generate binary signals and forward them to the process level.
EL2202 | EtherCAT Terminal, 2-channel digital output, 24 V DC, 0.5 A, push-pull, tristate
The EL2202/EL2202-0100 digital output terminal connects the binary control signals from the automation device on to the actuators at the process level with electrical isolation. This terminal benefits from very small output delay and is therefore suitable for signals requiring particularly fast output. The EtherCAT Terminal has a push-pull output that can be actively switched to 24 V, 0 V or high-impedance. The EL2202-0100 contains two channels. LEDs indicate the signal state of each channel.
EL/ED1xxx | Digital input
The EL/ED1xxx EtherCAT Terminals enable the acquisition of binary signals from the process level.
EL1018 | EtherCAT Terminal, 8-channel digital input, 24 V DC, 10 µs
The EL1018 digital input terminal acquires the binary 24 V control signals from the process level and transmits them, in an electrically isolated form, to the higher-level automation unit. Each EtherCAT Terminal has eight channels that indicate their signal state via light emitting diodes.
CX20x3 | AMD Ryzen™
The CX20x3 Embedded PC series has an AMD Ryzen™ CPU with 2 or 4 cores.
