Highlights:

Beckhoff's One Cable Automation (OCA) technology deserves special attention. Its goal is to provide efficient and optimal cabling for devices, machines, and systems, along with their associated peripherals. The basic principle of OCA is the combination of power, signal, and data communication in a single hybrid connector(see URL).
