The modular range of Beckhoff automation components are used to establish a wide range of building automation solutions worldwide. Due to its open interfaces based on IT and Windows standards, the PC- and Ethernet-based control technology is inherently extremely well suited for building automation.
The diverse functions of a building are based on thousands of data points that have to be acquired, processed, transferred, interpreted centrally and visualised. Modern facility management must be able to respond flexible and quick to changes in the building and its utilisation.
Over the life cycle of a building the different parties involved in the design, construction and operation such as planners, integrators, building operators and investors expect building automation to meet a wide range of requirements. The modular Beckhoff automation components enable the development and the implementation of suitable solutions for all building types and utilisation schemes such as administration buildings, offices, hotels, hospitals, schools, stores, etc.
The integration phase already offers scope for utilising synergy effects through building automation covering different functionalities. An occupancy sensor, for example, can be used in conjunction with lighting control, air-conditioning, facade control and alarm systems.
As a result, the costs and complexity of the system can already be reduced considerably during the construction phase. Targeted application of sensors and actuators with due regard for their functionality offers numerous benefits for subsequent operation.
Partner concept
Since building automation requirements are very complex and varied, Beckhoff cooperates closely with partner companies. In this way, end customers can be sure that their systems are competently designed and executed.
Beckhoff supports its partners through advice and exclusive hardware and software training geared towards system design and integration requirements.
Cooperation with selected partner companies enables individual customer needs to be met in projects with any degree of complexity while at the same time addressing sustainability and flexibility requirements.
