    According to Beckhoff, the MX-System is an IP67-rated modular automation system that can be used to replace traditional control cabinets with pluggable function modules that can be mounted directly on machines for many industrial applications. This direct machine-mounting capability is enabled by the MX-System’s aluminum baseplate with integrated module slots, EtherCAT for communication and integrated distribution for different voltages. MX-System function modules include the mains connection, drives, power supplies, industrial PCs and I/O modules.
