Turn your TwinCAT automation system into a high-performance Data Acquisition System

Connectivity and flexible integration of our high-accuracy and high-speed I/O modules into any automation system is in our DNA.

That is why we have made our high-performance Q.series X I/O modules available for easy and comfortable integration into TwinCAT, the EtherCAT master from Beckhoff.

Because EtherCAT was developed with industrial automation in mind, finding high-accuracy data acquisition devices that cover a wide-range of sensors can be a challenging exercise. Modern data acquisition system vendors like Gantner Instruments offer a full range of measurement modules with a direct EtherCAT interface. There is no limitation in the type of sensor with an EtherCAT-based data acquisition system: thermocouple, Pt100, LVDT, strain gage, IEPE/ICP©, piezoelectric (charge), high-voltage measurement up to 1200 VDC, and even fiber Bragg grating sensors.
