The Beckhoff EtherCAT Terminal system is used for decentralized connection of sensors and actuators to a controller. The components of the Beckhoff EtherCAT Terminal system are mainly used in industrial automation and building management systems. As a minimum, a bus station consists of an EtherCAT Coupler and connected EtherCAT Terminals. Beckhoff implements open automation systems based on PC Control technology. The product range covers Industrial PCs, I/O and Fieldbus Components, Drive Technology and automation software. Products that can be used as separate components or integrated into a complete and seamless control system are available for all industries.

Refer to the Beckhoff manual Beckhoff ECat EtherNetIP Master-Slave (el6652en).pdf for a detailed process starting from scratch in setting up TwinCAT 2 or 3. With the EL6652 listed as one of the terminals on the PLC or buscoupler, right-click on I/O: Devices, and add the EtherNet/IP Scanner (EL6652). The diagnostic and configuration interface for Beckhoff IPCs accesses all parameters of an IPC by means of MDP (Modular Device Profile) and makes it possible for the user to display critical parameters and to link this information to executable actions. Uniform access to all parameters of a Beckhoff Industrial PC.
The Beckhoff Ethernet switch CU2008 offers eight RJ45 Ethernet ports for connecting Ethernet devices in a network. Switches relay incoming Ethernet frames to the destination ports. With a transmission speed of 10/100 MBit/s and its industrial design, it can be used universally in automation and office networks and relays incoming Ethernet frames to the destination ports. It is also characterized by its flat design and easy mounting on the DIN rail.

Feb. 2, 2021 - TwinCAT/BSD provides an alternative operating system for all of the latest Beckhoff Industrial PC (IPC) platforms. TwinCAT/BSD combines the TwinCAT runtime with FreeBSD, an industrial-proven and reliable open-source operating system. FreeBSD is Unix-compatible and is continually being further developed, improved and optimized as an open-source project by a large group of developers.
The FreeBSD system–and thus also TwinCAT/BSD–supports ARM CPUs up to Intel® Xeon® processors, providing a scalable platform from small embedded controllers to high-performance IPCs. With this scalable new solution, Beckhoff presents a new operating system that combines the advantages of Windows CE – low cost and small footprint – with the numerous features of large Windows operating systems. Therefore, TwinCAT/BSD is also an alternative to Windows 7 or 10 in many applications.
The current minimum size of a basic image is around 300 MB, with very small RAM consumption of less than 100 MB. Therefore, diverse machines and systems can leverage very compact controllers with TwinCAT/BSD and use all TwinCAT 3 runtime functions. The programming still occurs on a Windows development computer and with TwinCAT 3 XAE integrated in Visual Studio®.
The new TwinCAT/BSD operating system offers multi-core support, making it possible to reserve individual cores exclusively for TwinCAT if required. In addition to a large number of FreeBSD and Linux programs, TwinCAT functions can also be installed via the Beckhoff Package Server. Moreover, uncomplicated updates of the operating system and the TwinCAT runtime are possible in this way via the network.
