PC-based Control for Wind Turbines

Open automation solutions for wind power

Manufacturers of wind turbines face the task of retaining maximum flexibility in face of the continually changing demands of the market in order to keep their products competitive. Beckhoff PC-based control technology and automation components, which are nowadays in use in wind turbines up to a size of 5 MW – including cold climate regions such as the North Cape and extreme climatic regions such as Inner Mongolia – make their contribution to fulfilling these requirements.  

 Applications & Solutions  
Solutions Solutions: Beckhoff implements open automation systems on the principle of PC-based control technology. This openness enables the turbine manufacturers to adapt their systems to varying demands both in the first draft design and also for later system expansion at low cost.
Applications Applications: The application reports illustrate application options for Beckhoff products and technologies in practice.
EtherCAT – ultra high-speed communication EtherCAT – ultra high-speed communication: Outstanding performance, flexible topology and simple configuration characterise EtherCAT, the real-time Ethernet technology from Beckhoff.
