Beckhoff at DTECH 2026
February 3-5 | San Diego Convention Center | Booth #5933
The leading T&D Event
At DTECH 2026, reliable, low-carbon energy distribution is top of mind. Beckhoff’s highly connected PC-based control and EtherCAT technologies ensure secure monitoring and control of energy flows, supporting renewable energy integration and overall grid stability. With over 125,000 wind turbines using our open control technology around the world and modular, IEC-compliant phasor measurement units, we simplify complex energy applications with standard solutions.
