OCA from Beckhoff: Efficient and environmentally friendly

The One Cable Automation principle unites the power supply with signal and data communication in a single cable. This saves resources, reduces cabling work, and advances automation.

One Cable Automation verfolgt das Ziel einer besonders vorteilhaften und optimalen Verkabelung von One Cable Automation aims to provide efficient and optimal cabling for devices, machines, and systems, along with their associated peripherals. This is accomplished through the basic principle of combining power, signal, and data communication in a single connector. Cutting down on cable routes not only significantly reduces the complexity of the entire cabling process, but also saves space, time, and costs.

OCA is a comprehensive cabling philosophy that comprises specific technology for single-cable solutions. Its benefits can be observed at virtually every level and across all devices. Whether with EtherCAT P, the ultra-fast one cable solution for control cabinet-free automation, OCT for motion applications, or CP-Link 4 for remote operating units, OCA offers innovative cabling solutions for the entire field level.
