MX-System Designer

The MX-System Designer is a web-based tool that does not need to be installed, thus allowing you to get started right away.

The MX-System Designer is a web-based engineering tool for efficient planning and configuration of automation systems based on the MX-System. System architectures can be modeled graphically and checked for technical consistency early on in projects.

This tool can combine modules, define connections, and create complete system structures without requiring detailed parameterization of individual devices. The system-oriented approach makes functional relationships and dependencies between components visible, which makes complex systems easier to understand.

Impermissible combinations and inconsistent configurations can be detected at an early stage. This helps to prevent planning errors and cuts down on subsequent adjustments in the engineering process.

“We are drastically simplifying implementation”

With the MX-System, Beckhoff has redefined the hardware architecture of automation and paved the way for control cabinet-free machines and systems. The company is now taking the next logical step: the MX-System Designer web-based engineering tool delivers a structured and technically validated electrical design right from the concept phase. Daniel Siegenbrink, MX-System product manager, reveals exactly how the Designer works and what added value smart project planning, plausibility checks, and the planned integration of AI also offer.
