Beckhoff at Husum WindEnergy 2008

Husum WindEnergy 2008 – leading international wind energy trade show

The Husum WindEnergy will be the scene of the world's largest wind energy trade show from 9th to 13th September 2008. Around 700 companies, manufacturers of wind turbines and sub-suppliers from 35 countries will be presenting their solutions in four halls. Beckhoff is presenting its open automation solutions for wind turbines in Hall 4, Booth C23.

With this PC- and EtherCAT-based control technology, Beckhoff offers a universal solution, from pitch control and operational management of the tower and nacelle to the wind farm networking and control room. Control technology from Beckhoff is in use worldwide in wind turbines up to a size of 5 MW – both onshore and offshore.

PC-based control technology
 

Applications & Solutions: Wind Turbines

PC-based control technology With Industrial PCs, I/Os and fieldbus components as well as the TwinCAT automation software, the product range of Beckhoff comprises an integrated, scalable and modular control system:
scalable control platform comprising Panel PCs, control cabinet PCs and Embedded PCs
just one tool for all automation hardware platforms with the TwinCAT software PLC
support for all open industry standards: IEC 61131-3, Ethernet TCP/IP, PLCopen, OPC
hard real-time behaviour (jitter < 10 μs)
wind-specific customer know-how encapsulated in application software

Innovations being shown by Beckhoff at the Husum WindEnergy include a new generation of control cabinet IPCs, new I/O terminals and, in TwinCAT PLC IEC 61400-25, a new PLC library for standardised wind turbines communication.



EtherCAT | Ultra high-speed communication  
 
EtherCAT | Ultra high-speed communication EtherCAT is the real-time Ethernet fieldbus for industrial automation, offering flexible topology and simple handling, among other benefits:
high communication speed and high usable data rates for extremely fast control and regulation technology as well as real-time-capable park communication
simple connection to all relevant industrial bus systems in free combination: Ethernet, DeviceNet, CANopen, PROFIBUS, Modbus, Interbus, RS232, RS485, etc.
Special terminals are available as standard in the I/O systems: 3-phase power measurement, oscilloscope terminal, PWM, etc.
integrated safety functionality (TwinSAFE terminals)
Temporal resolution of < 100 ns and sampling times < 10 μs are possible using XFC technology.
