Beckhoff at IAAPA Expo 2025
September 23–25, Barcelona | Hall 2, Booth 1271
The Leisure Industry’s Premier Event in Europe
Impressive visitor experiences with PC-based control
Europe’s premier event for the entertainment and leisure industry is coming to Barcelona from September 23 to 25, 2025. From attractions for amusement and theme parks to installations for museums and stage technology, we will be showcasing the many different ways that open automation solutions can help you bring your projects to life at IAAPA Expo Europe in Barcelona.
Whether you‘re working on a sub-project, a series product for entertainment tasks, a complex attraction, or even an entire theme park, PC-based control provides you with tried-and-tested, industry-proven technology that enables you to overcome almost any creative challenge using technology. With a variety of interfaces and communication standards, you can perfectly illuminate scenery on a fully automatic basis, control LED walls with pixel precision, and move video animations in sync with the hovering movers of our XPlanar drive system using Smode, Riedel, or Pixera. Learn all about our versatile technology for creating unique attractions at IAAPA.
We look forward to seeing you at Booth 1271 in Hall 2.
Seamless integration of intercom systems and automation:
RRCS interface to Riedel platform
- connecting system worlds – combines open PC- and EtherCAT-based control technology from Beckhoff with communication systems from Riedel
- easy implementation – direct support for the RRCS protocol from Riedel in TwinCAT
- flexibility – enables communication with Riedel’s Artist and Bolero systems and use of Riedel SmartPanels
- individual announcements – facilitates dynamic control of call circuits and integration into theater and show announcement systems
Seamless integration into the Smode platform:
PosiStageNet interface for PC-based control
- high-performance integration – Beckhoff hardware can be coupled with the Smode architecture via the open PosiStageNet standard
- versatile – open PC-based control technology can be combined with any system via RRCS
- dynamic and precise – transmission of position values for drives and other devices in real time
- easy implementation – connection via software-based integration and control framework
- convenient – plug-in and control functions available
Economy drive system: AX1000 economy servo drive and AF1000 economy variable frequency drive
- maximum flexibility – supports asynchronous, synchronous, and reluctance motors
- space‑saving design – devices can be installed side by side
- optional integrated safety functions – TwinSAFE STO/SS1 or TwinSAFE Safe Motion
- high overload capacity – maximum performance for highly dynamic applications
- high‑performance EtherCAT interface – perfect integration in TwinCAT
Sensor fusion for alignment and condition monitoring:
EP3751-0260 axis gyroscope
- spatial orientation – 3-axis accelerometer combined with 3-axis gyroscope
- precise and fast – high resolution (20 bits) and sample rate (4 kHz)
- versatile – dynamic detection of rotational movement, acceleration (vibrations), and component positions
- robust – IP67-protected housing, high immunity to vibration, shock, and EMC
Efficient operation:
The CP49xx and CP59xx Next multi‑touch panel generation
- future‑proof panel platform – integration of the latest standards
- easy cost optimization – can be used as a built-in panel or IP65 support arm panel without changing the system design
- high variability – individual customization options thanks to push-button extension with integrated EtherCAT and FSoE
- flexible performance and size – Arm® 6-core CPU or Intel Atom® 2- or 4-core CPU with display diagonals from 7 to 24 inches
- intuitive, safe operation – tried-and-tested touch technology with an extended viewing angle and anti-ghosting effect in an industrial standard HMI design
- efficient connection – simple wiring thanks to large connection area and straight cable routing
