know-how and exchange of information
The organisers of the second Automation UpDate demonstrated strong commitment to customer orientation: Embedded PC seminars took place on three consecutive evenings between 31th January and 2nd February in Germany. "With this offer we wanted to illustrate our commitment to customer service", said Wolfgang Negele from the Beckhoff branch in Nuremberg.
The speaker, Stefan Hoppe, Program Manager for HMI and System Connectivity at Beckhoff, gave an overview of the benefits of embedded control compared with conventional solutions: The CX offers PLC, Motion Control, visualization and comprehensive communication options on a standard hardware and software platform – and all that with an excellent price/performance ratio. The lecture was complemented with a presentation of different application options such as system and machine automation, water supply and treatment, and building services.
