Beckhoff's PC- and EtherCAT-based control technology enhances energy security, optimizes power grid efficiency, and simplifies applications with modular phasor measurement and advanced connection technology.

Beckhoff has added the Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) to the TwinCAT IoT product portfolio based on the WebSocket protocol which has recently been introduced for the IoT driver. OCPP standardizes the communication between charging stations for electric vehicles and the associated central management systems.

Integrating compact, precise displacement measurement into standard control technology reduces complexities.
