In addition to Ethernet TCP/IP, serial protocols and OPC UA, the Beckhoff control platform supports all relevant protocols in the area of media technology. This includes Open Control Architecture (AES 70 standard), PJLink, SMPTE-Timecode, Crestron, Bang & Olufsen, Art-Net™ and Streaming ACN (sACN), among others. Vendor-independent control of the widest range of media technology equipment enables the seamless operation of audio and video systems, display devices, multimedia servers and streaming services – in one network and on the same platform. The advantage for users is clear: they are not restricted in their choice of media technology equipment and are free from manufacturer-specific protocol considerations. The Beckhoff platform serves as a multi-language gateway, ensuring flexible communication among devices, as well as optimum usability.
Through the scalability and modularity of the software and hardware components from Beckhoff, users can tailor their control system precisely to the scope of the control tasks at hand. Users can achieve significant performance improvements and cost reductions, but also optimize available installation space. The CX5100 Embedded PC, for example, represents an extremely powerful and modular control solution based on multi-core processors from Intel®, helping to combine audio, PoE, Display Port and DVI on one universal platform.

Application reports and brochures
13.06.2025 | Application reportOpen control technology reduces energy consumption and carbon footprint
Airwatergreen AB, SwedenWith NEXT, the Swedish company Airwatergreen AB is breaking new ground in the dehumidification of air in industrial buildings and warehouses. The patented CVP technology reduces energy requirements and ensures an indoor climate that prevents corrosion and mold growth. PC-based control from Beckhoff regulates this innovative process and – due to its open nature – enables networking and remote maintenance of the systems, including energy tariff-optimized and thus cost-saving operation.
13.06.2025 | Application reportFlexible gateway due to finely scalable control technology
Schrack Seconet, AustriaFire alarm systems work independently of the building automation system. Having detailed information about the state of the fire protection technology would make the work of many facility managers easier. Schrack Seconet has developed a flexible gateway using ultra-compact industrial PCs and TwinCAT from Beckhoff, which can be used to flexibly convert a customer-specific communication protocol to a wide range of transmission standards such as BACnet or OPC UA.
02.09.2024 | Application reportFlying into the future of building management
ASL Group und Boolean, BelgiumIs a fully autonomous building mere science fiction? No, it is already a reality, as the Belgian ASL Group in Liège is proving with a state-of-theart, 24/7 terminal for private flight operations. Beckhoff Solution Provider Boolean BV supported the implementation of this with end-to-end building automation.
16.07.2024 | Application reportMovable walls open up a dialog between high-tech and history
Zhejiang Dafeng Industry, ChinaZhejiang Dafeng Industry is a leading solution provider from China serving the tourism and cultural sectors. When a branch for a national pavillion in Hangzhou was built, Dafeng was contracted to develop an intelligent folding wall system. With its greenish tile surface, the installation resembles a famous landscape painting. In the synchronized movement of the 251 walls weighing several tons each, PC- and EtherCAT-based control technology from Beckhoff ensures functional safety.
