Intro
In this video series, we will introduce the system, its components, and application examples. In the first episode, Paula Göbel, MX-System product manager, explores what the MX-System is and how it functions.
In the MX-System video series, we introduce the pluggable system solution for control cabinet-free automation with all its products and features. Before we delve deeper into the individual components, let's look at who the MX-System was actually developed for.
The baseplates are the back wall of the system and form the foundation of control cabinet-free automation with the MX-System. In this episode, you can discover the differences between the baseplates and their common functions.
The modules
The MX-System's infrastructure is constructed with system modules. In this episode of the MX-System series, we explore the tasks that the system modules can take on in order to completely replace the control cabinet.
Industrial PCs are the core hardware for PC-based control technology. Beckhoff offers powerful and scalable industrial PCs for the MX-System in a highly compact format in its robust IPC modules.
In line with the comprehensive Beckhoff I/O portfolio, the MX-System's I/O modules also constitute a wide product range for all automation environment signals. For this reason, Paula Göbel has invited Michael Jost, Senior Product Manager I/O, as her guest.
Paula Göbel looks at drive modules with her guest Dirk Hansen, senior product manager for motion. Can multi-axis systems be integrated into the MX-System directly?
High power needs to be connected safely in a control cabinet. In the control cabinet-free MX-System, relay modules are used for this. Watch this video to find out more about the different relay modules.
Find out more about how the power signal and data communication are combined in a single cable. Having one single cable saves time and money while also protecting the environment. It also simplifies the entire process surrounding the MX-System.
This episode explains why the MX-System doesn't need an additional housing unit. Watch the video to find out which other requirements the MX-System housing meets.
You can use your mobile device to run diagnostics on the MX-System and obtain information on the individual modules. Find out more about the applications of the diagnostics app in this video.
The change
Özgür Ünal explains how the MX-System is integrated into TwinCAT. In this episode, find out whether switching from a classic control cabinet to the MX-System changes anything in terms of software.
In this episode, Paula Göbel joins Marvin Düsterhus to explain how easy it is to switch from a classic control cabinet to the MX-System.
Paula Göbel meets with Robin Bertling from the Beckhoff sales team. They talk about the way the sales team works in general and about special customer requirements reaching the team about the MX-System.
It really does pay to save energy. Not only is it good for our environment, but it also helps counteract the massive price increases for primary energy sources. But how is energy measurement integrated into the MX-System and how does it work?
