The MX-System from Beckhoff is a flexible, space-optimised system solution that can replace conventional control cabinets, thereby opening up new possibilities in wind turbine automation. As a modular control cabinet replacement that can also be decentralised inside the wind turbine if required, the MX-System saves engineering, assembly, installation, and maintenance effort. This enables highly efficient processes for the manufacturers and operators of wind turbines – from the planning, set-up and installation of the MX-System through to the maintenance of MX-System-equipped turbines.
