Hardware and Software Options

Berghof relies on manufacturer-independent solutions and the proven CODESYS automation software, which enables a wide range of tasks in automation technology. Real-time Linux serves as the platform, which offers clear advantages.

The combination of these open standards allows us to easily implement functional expansions - for you as a user, this means unlimited functional diversity, independence from additional tools and comprehensive CODESYS applicability.

Variety of options for all industries

Extensions can be selected from a standardized range of options or they can be specially tailored to your needs. Our products and processes are designed in such a way that it’s possible to select products even after your order is placed.

Follow-up orders are not a challenge for us, neither with regard to the assignment in the corresponding product file (e.g. for support purposes) nor with regard to the delivery, which may also include the immediate dispatch of electronic documents or online activation.

This is made possible by the specification of the corresponding option code during the order for a fully configured device or through the specification of the corresponding order number, with separate delivery of the function.
