TwinCAT 3
With TwinCAT 3 a PC-based control software is available which will expand the standard automation world considerably. In addition to the object-oriented IEC 61131-3 extensions, the languages of the IT world are available in C and C++. The integration of MATLAB®/ Simulink® enables the application in scientific fields. And all of that in just one engineering
environment. The modules run in different languages in a common runtime. The advantage of this modularity is the improved reuse of modules, once they have been written and tested. The runtime runs under harsh realtime conditions with the use of multi-core technology and the support of 32- or 64-bit operating systems.
Current operating systems can be found in the respective product tables under target systems. Older operating systems are available on request from our service department.

Integration in Microsoft Visual Studio® makes it possible to program automation objects in parallel with the aid of the 3rd edition of IEC 61131-3 and the C or C++ languages. The objects (modules) generated can exchange data with each other and call each other independently of the language they were written in. The TwinCAT System Manager has been integrated into the development environment. This way, only one software is required to configure, parameterise, program and to diagnose automation devices.

TwinCAT 3 | eXtended Automation Language Support
TwinCAT 3 offers the possibility to program TwinCAT runtime modules in C/C++ languages. For code generation, the C compiler integrated in Microsoft Visual Studio® is used. With TwinCAT 3 C++ libraries, functions for reading/writing files, starting threads, allocating memory or communicating with a database are provided. This corresponds to the IEC 61131-3 mechanism when using libraries. In addition, the C++ interface provides a connection to the MATLAB®/Simulink® tool chain or to the Functional Mockup Interface (FMI).
The routine CycleUpdate is processed cyclically. Even without setting breakpoints, the internal variables are available for monitoring in the TwinCAT online watch window.

TwinCAT 3 | eXtended Automation Runtime (XAR)
Developments in computer technology, which offer CPUs with more and more cores, enable the distribution of tasks across different cores. The TwinCAT 3 runtime environment follows this concept. It can be used to distribute functional units such as HMI, PLC runtime or MC to dedicated cores. For each of the cores used by the runtime environment the maximum load as well as the base time and therefore the possible cycle times can be set separately.

The TwinCAT 3 Realtime Monitor enables precise diagnostics and optimisation of the runtime behaviour of tasks in the TwinCAT 3 runtime. It offers a graphic representation of the temporal processing of real-time tasks and their modules across all processor cores. In addition to that, user-defined processes and their dependencies can also be visualised through appropriate implementation of the control software.
The real-time monitor makes the temporal behaviour of the control software on a target system fully transparent and enables a comprehensive time analysis. It thus supports both error diagnostics and a temporal optimisation of the configuration, in particular for multi-core systems.
Virtual machine commissioning becomes possible if the EtherCAT cable of the machine computer can simply be plugged into a simulation computer, without the need for reconfiguration. With the TC3 EtherCAT Simulation function and a network adapter the simulation computer can simulate a number of EtherCAT slaves. For configuration purposes the EtherCAT slaves of the original machine configuration are inverted. All EtherCAT features necessary for machine simulation are modelled including distributed clocks. Since the communication protocols CoE and SoE are implemented, acyclic commands can also be processed in the simulation environment.

TC3 XCAD Interface

TC3 PLC Static Analysis
TE1120
TE1130
TE1200
TC3 XCAD Interface serves the purpose of importing already existing engineering results from an ECAD program. The TC3 XCAD Interface enables the import of information about the structure of the I/Os and their links to PLC variables, which is exported from the ECAD tool by means of XML description. On the basis of this information a system manager configuration and a basic PLC program with the I/O variables used are generated. The generation of NC and CNC axes is also possible.
The TC3 CAD Simulation Interface is a user-friendly tool that can be used to configure a link between TwinCAT and a 3D CAD system. The aim of this connection is a software-in-the-loop simulation (SiL) of the intended sequence on a machine or system to support virtual commissioning.
The 3D simulation of machine and system components is a key element in the implementation of virtual commissioning. In the simulation, the movements and interactions of all individual installed components are represented in combination, so that collisions as well as critical system states can be determined in advance. In addition, simulation can be used to train operators and maintenance personnel in advance for regular operation and to define troubleshooting instructions based on simulated critical machine states. Another typical application would be presales training courses on machines or machine components for sales personnel using 3D simulations.
The TC3 CAD Simulation interface facilitates the implementation of a 3D simulation, in that it uses the design data of the CAD tool and establishes links to the corresponding automation data. As usual, convenient drag-and-drop functions can be used for link configuration. The parameterisation can be extended to map complex relationships if required. This means that software-in-theloop simulation of machines, systems or installed components is easily and conveniently possible, even in the event of system expansions.
With the integration of the static code analysis, a further tool is available in TwinCAT 3.1 that supports the PLC software development process.
The static code analysis is an analysis tool that tests PLC software on the basis of coding rules and identifies potential weak points of an implementation even during the development stage. The analysis extends from checking compliance with naming conventions through to examining the use of objects and operators. Easier readability and an improved program structure are achieved through the analysis. Furthermore, the user's attention is drawn to possibly unintentional and faulty implementations, so that these program points can be optimised at an early stage.

TwinCAT 3 Scope View is a software oscilloscope for the graphical display of data in a YT, XY or bar chart. Scope View Professional extends the Scope View Base version which is included in TwinCAT 3 XAE by further functionalities. It can be used for tracking and monitoring processes over a longer period of time.
Long-term recordings, printout function, trigger-controlled data logging are part of the functionality. With multi-core support Scope View ensures optimised performance in the display of signals.
Like TwinCAT 3 XAE, Scope View integrates itself into Microsoft Visual Studio®. It can be used as a standalone project or in combination with a TwinCAT project within a solution.
Furthermore, Scope View Professional can be integrated into a user's .NET-based visualisation. Thus, seamless integration into an existing machine visualisation is possible.
The TC3 Filter Designer is a graphic engineering tool for determining coefficient digital filters. In Microsoft Visual Studio® it integrates seamlessly with the existing TwinCAT engineering landscape.
Selectable filter designs are Butterworth, Chebyshev and InverseChebyshev, while the possible filter types are lowpass, highpass, bandpass and bandstop. The filter coefficients can be modified graphically or by means of a tabular specification. Once the filter coefficients have been determined, they can be used in the PLC as an input for digital filter function blocks or transferred into the ELM measurement modules by drag & drop. Each channel of an ELM measurement module has two freely configurable digital filters connected in series, which as a result are very easy to adjust using the Filter Designer.
The TwinCAT Simulink® Target offers System Target Files for the use of the Simulink® coder. It enables the generation of TwinCAT 3 runtime modules, which can be instanced and parameterised in the TwinCAT 3 engineering environment.

The TwinCAT Valve Diagram Editor allows the linearisation of non-linear curves of hydraulic valves with the aid of a graphical editor. On the basis of a few base points, straight lines or 5th degree polynomials can be determined that connect the points. The characteristic linearisation curve thus determined can be loaded into the TwinCAT NC real-time and taken into account when the voltages are output in the drive.
The TC3 Cam Design Tool allows the generation and modification of cam plates with the aid of a graphical editor. These are composed of sections of laws of motion such as modified sine waves, harmonic combinations, or of various polynomial functions. Velocity, acceleration and jerk are displayed in addition to the slave position. The generated cam plates can be transferred to the NC as tables with specified step size or as so-called motion functions.
The TwinCAT 3 EAP Configurator is a tool for visualising and configuring communication networks, in which data exchange based on the EtherCAT Automation Protocol (EAP) takes place or is to be established. EAP is used for master/master communication.

In addition, interfaces are provided for communication with third-party software (e.g. MATLAB®, NI LabView, Office). The ADS web services enable the development of deviceindependent web applications (HTML5, WCF).
The message router manages multiple connections and efficiently distributes the messages. The data packets can be recorded via the ADS monitor using the integrated diagnostic interface.
The free TC3 ADS supplies the basic components required in order to communicate with TwinCAT systems. The setup can be integrated in your own installation routines.
Using TwinCAT I/O, cyclic data can be collected by different fieldbuses in process images. Cyclic tasks drive the corresponding fieldbuses. Various fieldbuses can be operated with different cycle times on one CPU. Applications can directly access the process image. The fieldbuses and the process images are configured in TwinCAT Engineering. provides variable-oriented linkage of I/O devices

Extension of the TwinCAT PLC TC1200 by the possibility to realise point-to-point movements in software (TwinCAT Motion Control PTP 10). The axes are represented by axis objects and provide a cyclic interface, e.g. for the PLC. This axis object is then linked to a corresponding physical axis. In this way the most diverse axis types with the most diverse fieldbus interfaces can be connected abstractly with the axis objects, which always offer an identical configuration interface. The control of the axes can be configured in various constellations (position or velocity interface) and various controllers. The axes are configured in TwinCAT Engineering. up to a maximum of 255 axes on one CPU supports electrical and hydraulic Servo Drives,
frequency converter drives, stepper motor drives, DC drives, switched drives (fast/slow axes), simulation axes and encoder axes supports various encoders such as incremental encoder, absolute encoder, digital interface to the drives such as EtherCAT, SERCOS, SSI, Lightbus, PROFIBUS DP/MC, pulse train standard axis functions such as start/stop/reset/ reference, velocity override, master/slave couplings, electronic gearbox, online distance compensation, programming is carried out via PLCopen-compliant IEC 61131-3 function blocks convenient axis commissioning options online monitoring of all axis state variables such as actual/set values, releases, control values online axis tuning forcing of axis variables configuration of all axis parameters, such as measuring system, drive parameters and position controller configurable controller structures: P control, PID control, PID with velocity pre-control, PID with velocity and acceleration pre-control online master/slave and slave/master conversion flying saw (diagonal saw [optional]) cam plates (support by TC3 Cam Design Tool [optional]) FIFO axes (optional) external set value generators multi-master coupling

TC3 PLC HMI is a stand-alone tool for the presentation of visualisations which are created in the TwinCAT PLC development environment. They are shown in full-screen as soon as the system starts up.
TC3 PLC HMI Web is a web-based visualisation system. The TwinCAT PLC development environment can be used as an editor for creating web pages. The web pages are hosted by the Internet Information Server (IIS). For display of the web pages HTML5 and JavaScript is needed.
With the integration of UML (Unified Modeling Language) in TwinCAT 3.1, two additional editors for modelling of PLC software are available. The existing TwinCAT PLC programming languages are extended with the UML state and UML class diagrams.
Generally speaking, UML is a modelling language for software analysis, design and documentation. UML is particularly suitable for object-oriented implementations. The unified modelling of the PLC application creates an easy to follow software documentation, which can also be analysed by other departments.
The UML class diagram belongs to the group of UML structure diagrams and can be used for schematic representation of the software architecture. In this way, it is possible to represent object classes and the elements contained within them, as well as object relationships in a transparent manner. The UML state diagram is part of the UML behaviour diagrams and is used for dynamic software modelling. It can be used for a graphic specification of the dynamic response or the state-dependent system behaviour. Compilation of the state diagram generates program code, so that the state machine can be executed directly. The development process is supported by an online debugging option.

TF3300-0vpp
TF3500-0vpp
TF3510-0vpp
The TwinCAT 3 Scope Server prepares data for visual display in the TwinCAT 3 Scope View. It can be used for autarkic data recordings in distributed systems within production, plant or machine networks. The Scope Server not only features TwinCAT-specific communication interfaces, it also offers support for the OPC UA communication standard.
The TwinCAT 3 Analytics Logger records process and application data of the machine controller in synchronisation with machine cycles. The logger is characterised by its high performance as it operates directly in the real-time context of the TwinCAT controller.
The recorded data can optionally be stored locally in a file on the hard disk of the machine controller and played back with ring buffer functionality or transmitted to a message broker by means of the IoT communication protocol. The configuration required in this instance is performed in Microsoft Visual Studio®. All variables of the process image and the PLC application can be added easily to the configuration via a check box without the need for programming.
The TwinCAT 3 Analytics Library is a PLC library with analysis functions and application data. The library can be used locally on the machine controller or on a remote analysis system with IoT communication connection. In particular for the second application, PLC code can be generated automatically on the basis of this library with the engineering tool TE3500 TC3 Analytics Workbench.
Function modules are available with simple and more complex functions. The spectrum ranges from flank counters, life time monitoring, machine cycle analysis through to mathematical functions and envelope curve monitoring. Minimum and maximum input signal values can be calculated in just the same way and linked together by means of logical operators. All modules are suitable for object-oriented application design and use the features of IEC 61131-3 programming.

The TwinCAT 3 Analytics Storage Provider is an IoT client and forms the interface to one or more storage facilities or databases for raw and analysis data from various sources. The data is stored as a binary blob in the storage medium. Microsoft Azure Blob supports a public cloud, while Microsoft SQL supports an on-premises database. In this way, both applications can be covered. The Analytics Storage Provider automatically structures and stores the data. The storage interface can be configured via TwinCAT Engineering in Microsoft Visual Studio®. Data is selected centrally for reading and writing via the TwinCAT Target Browser. The user selects the data via the user-defined variable name in the machine application and the corresponding time period; no complex SQL commands are required. Historical data can be sourced via the TF3500 TC3 Analytics Logger, the TF6720 TC3 IoT Data Agent or the EK9160 IoT Bus Coupler. The corresponding data sinks are the TE3520 TC3 Analytics Service Tool and the TE3500 TC3 Analytics Workbench.
TF3550-0vpp
The TwinCAT 3 Analytics Runtime is the runtime "container" for the Analytics application, which was configured and developed in the TE3500 TC3 Analytics Workbench. The runtime can be installed locally, on remote hardware or in a virtual machine. It also contains the TF2000 TC3 HMI Server, which hosts the analytics dashboard. In summary, the TC3 Analytics Runtime represents a bundle of different licenses. It contains a PLC runtime, the Analytics PLC library, the IoT connection, the TC3 HMI Server and a corresponding client package, so that several users can view the designed Analytics Dashboard simultaneously.

TC3 TwinCAT Speech enables the multilingual input and output of queries or information implemented in an industrially compatible way. This makes interaction with TwinCAT much more efficient and convenient in the widest variety of applications across all industries, from mechanical engineering to building automation.
The speech input is available as an offline function implemented via built-in functions of the Windows operating system, i.e. without Internet and cloud connection. The speech output of TC3 TwinCAT Speech is available both as an offline and an online function. In the first case this is supported by the corresponding Windows functions and in the second case by the Polly text-to-speech service from Amazon. Realistic sounding speech output is synthesised with the aid of deep-learning technologies. Different voices are supported as well as caching of audio files generated online.

TwinCAT NC Camming (cam plate) is a non-linear relationship between a master and a slave axis. The camming package offers various options for the storage of cam plates. Convenient PLC blocks enable the loading, coupling and uncoupling of cam plates. It is possible to load new cam plates or to modify cam plates during operation. The TwinCAT Cam Design Tool offers support for the creation of the cam plates. position tables with master interpolation points and
corresponding slave positions; interpolation between the points is done linearly or by splines motion function table describing a cam plate via motion laws according to VDI guideline 2143 cyclic or linear processing cam plate with offset and scale, can be modified on the master or slave side high flexibility through online change of the motion functions
TwinCAT NC Flying Saw implements the coupling of a slave axis to a master axis in a certain synchronous position (flying saw). PLC function blocks enable coupling and uncoupling as well as parameterisation. The master axis can be a real axis, a virtual axis,
or some other external source of actual values. synchronisation of the slave axis from any motion

TwinCAT Modbus RTU implements Modbus RTU communication via a serial RS232, RS422 or RS485 interface and is thus suitable both for the PC/CX interfaces and for operation with the KL6xxx serial Bus Terminals. It contains function blocks for master and slave operating mode with simple configuration.
The TwinCAT PROFINET RT Device (slave) is a supplement that turns any PC-based controller with an Intel® chipset and the real-time Ethernet driver developed by Beckhoff into a PROFINET RT device. By installing the function, a standard Ethernet interface becomes a PROFINET slave.
The TwinCAT PROFINET RT Controller (master) is a supplement that turns any PC-based controller with an Intel® chipset and the real-time Ethernet driver developed by Beckhoff into a PROFINET RT controller. By installing the function, a standard Ethernet interface becomes a PROFINET master.
The TwinCAT EtherNet/IP Slave is a supplement that turns any PC-based controller with an Intel® chipset and the real-time Ethernet driver developed by Beckhoff into an EtherNet/IP slave. Through this supplement the Ethernet interface becomes an EtherNet/IP slave. The product can be used on all PC controllers and Embedded PC controllers with an Intel® chipset.
A further feature of the supplements is that it enables up to eight slaves to be parameterised using a single physical interface. For this purpose, a virtual MAC address is created in order to be able to operate a total of up to eight EtherNet/IP slaves on one PC via a single Ethernet interface. This feature can be used, for example, to exchange larger amounts of data using one EtherNet/IP master or to establish a connection to several EtherNet/IP masters in different subnets.

The TwinCAT EtherNet/IP Master is a supplement that turns any PC-based controller with an Intel® chipset and the real-time Ethernet driver developed by Beckhoff into an EtherNet/IP master. Through this supplement, the Ethernet interface becomes an EtherNet/IP master. The product can be used on all PC controllers and Embedded PC controllers with an Intel® chipset.
The process data is configured using TwinCAT 3 allowing various process data and various sizes. The supplement supports both multicast and unicast connections. Up to 16 simple EtherNet/IP slave devices can be connected via one generic node.
TwinCAT FTP enables easy access from the PLC to one or several FTP servers with the aid of various function blocks. Files can be loaded to or from a server after the establishment of a connection (optional with authentication). Additional function blocks allow files or directories to be searched for, created, deleted and renamed.
TwinCAT TCP/IP enables the implementation and realisation of one or several TCP/IP servers and/or TCP/IP clients within the TwinCAT 3 PLC. Corresponding blocks exist for the establishment/disconnection of communication as well as for the pure exchange of data (send and receive). The function blocks also support the use of multicast addresses.
TwinCAT 3 already offers an option to access the network card of the operating system (TF6310) from the PLC via the user mode. As an enhancement, TC3 TCP/UDP Realtime (TF6311) now enables fast and convenient access from the real-time directly to the network card. The TwinCAT 3 network card driver handles the access via a dedicated stack. The implementation facilitates cooperative use of the network card by the operating system. TF6311 provides both server and client functionality, so that the TCP/IP, UDP/IP and Ping/ARP protocols can be implemented.
Unlike the TF6310 function modules, TF6311 is realised as a TcCOM (TwinCAT Component Object Model) module and directly implements the TwinCAT 3 philosophy: modules encapsulate functionality and can be used without knowledge of the internal workings. In addition, this approach enables seamless integration of the module in the two PLC and C++ programming environments. Examples of client and server applications in different protocols illustrate the use of the TcCOM module, making implementation of an application efficient and easy.
TwinCAT Serial Communication implements communication with serial devices such as printers, bar code scanners, etc. The serial interface of the PC and the serial Beckhoff EL6xxx EtherCAT Terminals and KL6xxx Bus Terminals are supported.
Via the networkbased fieldbus system from Beckhoff the serial terminals can be accessed over a distance of up to 100 m. In addition, it is possible to address virtual COM interfaces of the operating system from the PLC.

TwinCAT SMS/SMTP enables the transmission of SMS messages or e-mails using PLC function blocks. The latter also allows the transmission of file attachments, HTML texts and the setting of message priorities. Support for STARTTLS/SSL enables encrypted e-mail communication to be configured.
TwinCAT Virtual Serial COM allows the EL60xx EtherCAT Terminals or EP6002 EtherCAT Box modules to be integrated into Windows XP, Windows 7/8/10 or Windows CE as normal serial interfaces. The computer on which a serial interface is to be generated for it is defined individually for each EL60xx/EP6002. Access to the device connected to the terminal takes place via Windows API for serial interfaces.
TwinCAT Database Server enables the exchange of data between databases and the TwinCAT system. PLC variables or direct values of the EtherCAT I/Os can be logged cyclically when changes occur or event-controlled by means of PLC function blocks.
A TwinCAT 3 PLC library for the Database Server utilises the objectoriented extensions of the IEC 61131-3. As a result, the program code is more structured and much simpler to extend. The performance of command processing is also considerably higher. Furthermore, a C++ interface is implemented for the Database Server. This allows the user to communicate with the Database Server not just from the PLC, but also directly from a C++ application.
The TwinCAT XML Server provides a PLC library enabling write/read access for XML data. The userfriendly XML Server facilitates e.g. the loading of initialisation data, which is often required at machine startup.

For the standard-compliant communication between client and server, corresponding servers can be realised directly in the TwinCAT PLC with IEC 61850/IEC 61400-25 Telecontrol in TwinCAT 3. IEC 61850 provides data models for substation communication. IEC 61400-25 is based on IEC 61850 and offers specific extensions of the data model for wind farm communication. The respective server is configured using the TwinCAT telecontrol configurator. This decouples the configuration work from the programming work in the PLC and generates the corresponding PLC code. The PLC code can be imported into new or existing PLC projects.
RFID Reader Communication allows various RFID readers to be addressed via a serial interface. The new TwinCAT RFID reader library offers a general abstract interface that can be used for all readers. The configuration can easily be adapted to a specific reader.
TwinCAT S5/S7 Communication allows the simple connection of TwinCAT to an S5 or S7 controller. The data blocks, flags, inputs, outputs, counters and timers of an S5 or S7 controller can be accessed using function blocks. The communication takes place using TCP/IP.
The TwinCAT 3 Function enables the reading of DBC file formats (.dbc). The DBC data format is a CAN network description and allows the definition of attributes as well as the assignment of these attributes to the elements of a network. DBC files are text files that contain e.g. scaling information for CAN data and signal definitions. The TF6650 Function can be used for data import and pre-processing according to the parameters that are stored in the DBC file. As an additional function, network nodes can also be simulated according to the DBC files. The function uses the EL6751 CANopen master terminal as hardware interface.

TF6720-0vpp
TC3 IoT Communication provides basic functionalities in the form of PLC libraries for sending and receiving data via the so-called MQ Telemetry Transport (MQTT) protocol.
By enabling the transmission and receipt of publisher/subscriberbased MQTT messages directly from the controller, this function makes easy data communication between diverse devices possible. MQTT is an open, standardised communication protocol that is becoming increasingly popular for fast and efficient data transmission applications due to its low overhead. Many IT providers, but particularly those in the cloud computing field, provide access to their services via this protocol.
The TwinCAT 3 Function can be used to establish connectivity for cloudbased communication services.
The focus is not on the protocol implementation itself (such as with the TF6701, for example), but on targeted communication with a cloudbased system, e.g. the Microsoft Azure IoT hub or Amazon Web Services IoT. Several PLC function blocks are available for sending process data from the TwinCAT runtime to such cloud-based communication services or receiving data from such services.
The TC3 IoT Data Agent provides IoT communication functions bi-directional in the form of a gateway application that can be configured and operated independently from the TwinCAT real-time environment.
The data agent picks up configured process data and transmits it to a specific communication or data service in the Microsoft Azure or Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud, or it sends the process data to an MQTT or AMQP message broker. To pick up the process data, both TwinCAT ADS and the OPC UA IEC standard with their security mechanisms are available. This ensures data protection down to the controller or the respective end device.
To reduce the amount of traffic and associated costs, the data agent supports advanced sampling mechanisms, such as on-data-change transmissions.
If the connection is interrupted, buffering algorithms are available to prevent the loss of data. The entire parameterisation of the data agent can be done via a graphical editor. This makes it easy to use and reduces set-up times when commissioning the system.
The TF672x TC3 IoT Data Agent Packs extend the TC3 IoT Data Agent with 4, 16, 64 or 256 additional ADS target runtimes or OPC UA namespaces.

TF6730-0vpp
TF6735
TF6760-0vpp
The TC3 IoT Communicator makes it possible to easily transmit process data to multiple end devices, monitor status changes, and send information back to the machine.
The TC3 IoT Communicator connects the TwinCAT controller to a messaging service, making it easy to set it up within the TwinCAT engineering environment to send and receive push messages and process data between the PLC and mobile operating systems. Since each end device is registered with a unique ID, messages can be transmitted to specific people and/or controllers. A flag within the message indicates whether messages and status data is buffered in the messaging service and available on demand.
Since the TC3 IoT Communicator is based on the publish-subscribe pattern, it does not require any special firewall settings but can be easily integrated into an existing IT network. To receive, send and display such messages, apps can be downloaded from the app stores free of charge.
The TC3 IoT Communicator App provides a simple solution for monitoring and analysing TwinCAT process data on mobile end devices. To receive, send and display selected TwinCAT messages, apps can be downloaded from the app stores free of charge.
The TC3 IoT Communicator App communicates with the TwinCAT controller via a messaging service in the cloud or in a local network. Various mechanisms are available for authentication and encryption.
So-called REST (Representational State Transfer) APIs are frequently offered by web servers in IoT communication in order to channel certain communication processes via a uniform and stateless interface. Although REST is basically independent of the transport system, the Internet of Things mainly uses the HTTP/HTTPS protocol established in web communication as, among other things, it enables better compatibility with firewalls. There are many different application scenarios for connecting an HTTP/REST interface from within the controller, ranging from the simple determination of weather data through to complex communication processes.
The TwinCAT 3 Function TF6760 TC3 IoT HTTPS/REST provides users with basic functions for HTTP/HTTPS communication in a PLC library enabling them to address REST APIs as a client and providing HTTP commands such as GET, PUT and POST. The communication channel (HTTPS) is secured by SSL/TLS mechanisms, which are also provided. Message contents can be defined, interpreted and used for communication directly from the PLC context via XML and JSON parsers.

TF7002-0vpp, TF7003-0vpp
TC3 GigE Vision Connector offers the possibility to integrate GigE Vision cameras directly into the TwinCAT architecture. TF700x is also GigE Vision certified. The cameras are configured in the same development environment as fieldbus components or axes without any third-party software. Triggered from the real-time, image capture and PLC or motion control can be operated in a highly synchronised way.
The configuration is carried out completely in TwinCAT Engineering. Wizards are available for setting the camera parameters and for calibration and simulation. Via the source control file it is possible to read images stored on a drive and to make them available to the real-time. The programming of image processing tasks can be prepared and tested offline in advance.
TF7000 TC3 GigE Vision Connector Base provides the basis for communication and features two camera connections. Optional packages are available for two, four or eight additional cameras.
TF7100-0vpp
TC3 Vision Base provides an extensive PLC library with a large number of widely varying functions and algorithms for solving image processing tasks, such as e.g. algebraic image operations, filters, Fourier analyses, colour image processing, segmentation, contour and blob analysis or results presentation, as well as for reading and writing camera parameters. In addition to PLC, motion control, robotics and measurement technology, image processing is now also available as directly integrated functionality in the TwinCAT system.
The image processing algorithms are computed in the TwinCAT real-time environment, executed task-synchronously and monitored in real time via watchdogs. TwinCAT Vision is multi-core capable and executes algorithms automatically on several cores if available. Direct response to image processing results is possible in the PLC without the time loss that would be caused by additional interfaces to external devices.
PLC programming is carried out in the IEC 61131-3 languages so that no knowledge of specific programming languages is required. All known debugging options in the PLC are available. Intermediate results and associated images can be displayed at any time in the engineering or in the TwinCAT HMI.

TF7200-0vpp
TF7250-0vpp
TF7300-0vpp
TC3 Vision Matching 2D expands the TwinCAT Vision functionality by the possibility to find and compare objects based on learned references, contours, feature points or other properties (template matching/keypoint detection and descriptor matching).
These functions enable the controller to determine whether certain objects or features exist in an image in order to implement functions such as good/bad part detection, for example. In the same way, objects can be recognised to be sorted or individually handled and further processed in the production process.
TC3 Vision Code Reading includes functions for reading various 1D and 2D codes. This provides the basis for being able to check code content directly in real time and to track products during the manufacturing process. It eleminates the need for additional interfaces and runtime delays in communication with external devices.
The reading results can be displayed as an image at any time for process monitoring purposes or saved for continuous quality assurance.
TC3 Vision Metrology 2D offers various options for the detection of edges, holes and circular arcs as well as the determination of lengths, distances, diameters, angles and coordinates, all with sub-pixel accuracy.
By means of various calibration functions, it is possible to correct, for example, optical distortions or distortions of perspective that may be caused by the geometrical structure, and to convert pixel values to world coordinates, lengths or distances. This enables, for example, the metric display or output of values as well as the direct presetting of gripping points for robots in their coordinate systems.

TwinCAT ECAD Import serves the purpose of importing already existing engineering results from an ECAD program. It enables the import of information about the structure of the I/Os and their links to PLC variables, which is exported from the ECAD tool by means of XML description. On the basis of this information a system manager configuration and a basic PLC program with the I/O variables used are generated. The generation of NC devices is also possible.
With the TwinCAT Engineering Interface (ENI) server it is possible for the work of a number of programmers to be coordinated via a central source code management system. The TwinCAT ENI server offers interfaces with Microsoft Visual Source Safe and a driver for Subversion (SVN). A user and rights management is as much part of the product as a database-independent diagnostic tool, which gives an overview of all current tasks of the various users.
The TwinCAT Eventlogger is an alarm and diagnostic system for TwinCAT-based controllers. The TwinCAT Eventlogger has the task of managing all messages (events) appearing in the TwinCAT system; to forward them and where necessary to write them into the TwinCAT log file. In this context "events" are understood to comprise alarms, warnings, notes or instructions. Messages can be acknowledged. The Message Formatter produces the connection between the actual event and its message text. This is stored in an external database.
By integration of the TcEventViewer type library it is possible, to create your own message display. Configuration of the message text is done by the TcEvent configurator. The event logger is included in the main TwinCAT delivery.
The TwinCAT XML Data Server permits direct access to an XML file from the PLC. The values of variables can be read by the PLC or written to the XML file. Access to structures in the PLC is also possible.

Technical data
TS5060
TS5055
TS5066
Using TwinCAT NC FIFO Axes, externally generated set position values can be output to the axes in the form of a velocity pre-control. The set value generation is designed in such a way that both the set position and the set velocity are determined as the FIFO inputs are worked through in sequence. It is also possible, if necessary, to interpolate between two neighbouring FIFO inputs.
TwinCAT NC Flying Saw implements the coupling of a slave axis to a master axis in a certain synchronous position (flying saw). PLC function blocks enable coupling and uncoupling as well as parameterisation. The master axis can be a real
axis, a virtual axis, or some other external source of actual values. synchronisation of the slave axis from any motion situation (stop, forward or reverse travel) with the master in motion simple synchronisation with the master velocity precise position synchronisation with the master axis (velocity and position) synchronous velocity can be set via a coupling factor optional return prevention as additional safety function superimposed section compensation during the synchronous phase for dynamic position correction
Due to the increasing use of decentralised controllers, time synchronisation of different systems is becoming an increasingly important issue. The implementation of cyclically-sent information on systems without identical timebase leads to a beat effect. These manifest themselves for example as periodic operational faults in the synchronisation of drives, whose axis information is transferred via network.
The TwinCAT PLC Remote Synchronisation library offers options for general time synchronisation of information with distributed systems as well as special techniques for synchronising NC axes ("distributed axes").

The FIAS (Fidelio Interface and Application Specification) interface is a world-leader in hotel management software. The TwinCAT FIAS Server is a software package for communication between TwinCAT PLC and a system with a FIAS standard interface. The communication takes place using TCP/IP. The connection of hotel management software and automation system helps to optimise the energy consumption: e.g. the climate control is automatically adjusted for an unoccupied room; if there is strong sunlight the shading is automatically activated.
Crestron is one of the leading manufacturers of AV control systems. The TwinCAT Crestron Server enables communication between a TwinCAT PLC and a Crestron control. Both systems are connected by Ethernet. SIMPL user macros are available for programming the Crestron controller. The required function blocks are included in the TwinCAT PLC library. Read and write access to the other device is available from the Crestron controller and the TwinCAT PLC.
TwinCAT Building Automation is a software package that covers all technical building automation services. In addition to modules for conventional HVAC applications it also covers room automation including lighting, air-conditioning and shading. Essentially, the software package consists of three components:
TwinCAT BA PLC Libraries The TwinCAT BA PLC libraries contain basic functions for control, signal processing, special mathematical functions, alarm processing and general system functions.
TwinCAT BA PLC Templates TwinCAT BA PLC templates consist of ready-made TwinCAT program blocks for sensors, actuators, complete modules for system components and for entire heating, ventilation and air-conditioning system installations/plants.
The TwinCAT Building Automation Framework includes a configuration program (TwinCAT Building Automation Manager) and a PLC library.
The PLC library is configured such that a complete application program with the main room automation functions is available, including lighting, shading, climate control, time switching functions, scene management, weather stations and energy consumption monitoring.
All actuators and sensors are registered in the TwinCAT Building Automation Manager, grouped together and linked with the Bus Terminals. The logical ordering of sensors to actuators is also done in the TwinCAT Building Automation Manager. From this information the configuration program generates and activates the I/O links for all devices entered in the system and writes all necessary parameters in the controller.
