TF5000 | TwinCAT 3 NC PTP 10 Axes

TwinCAT 3 NC PTP 10 Axes implements motion control for point-to-point movements in software. 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 in an abstract way with the axis objects, which always offer an identical configuration interface. Control of the axes can be implemented in various configurations (position or velocity interface) and various controllers. The axes are configured in TwinCAT Engineering.
