 Beckhoff Automation introduced eXtreme Fast Control (XFC) technology, a combination of the company’s PC-based and industrial Ethernet technologies, based on its control and communication architectures. According to the company, compared with current PC-based controllers, XFC offers performance improvements by a factor of 10 and enables cycle times of 100 microseconds (µs) without having to give up central intelligence and the associated high-performance algorithms. In addition to highly optimized cycle times, XFC also offers improved temporal accuracy and enhanced resolution. Measuring tasks or documentation of part quality can be simply integrated in the machine control without additional special devices.
