Focus on TwinSAFE, safety I/O system
With the inaugural event held in October 2005, “Beckhoff Automation UpDate” is a series of brief presentations and discussions that will provide regular updates about developments and trends in automation engineering and solutions using Beckhoff technology. The first Automation UpDate was on the subject of safety technology and was organized by the Beckhoff branch in Nuremberg, Germany.
Around 40 customers and interested parties attended the presentations and subsequent discussion forum. After a brief introduction by branch manager Martin Rostan, who gave an overview of the activities of the Nuremberg office, safety product manager Jens Sachs gave a presentation on the hardware and software of the TwinSAFE system and its functionalities.
Wolfgang Negele, sales representative and initiator of the brief informational events, drew positive conclusions: “As a complement to trade shows, Automation UpDate enables us to efficiently provide more indepth information and introductions to new technologies for our customers. The first event was well received so we intend to hold an additional session on the subject of Embedded PC controllers in early 2006.”
