TX1100 | TwinCAT I/O

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 connection of I/O devices to tasks
• provides variable-oriented connection of tasks among each other
• the smallest unit is one bit
• supports both synchronous and asynchronous relationships
• consistent exchange of data areas and process images
• online display in the directory tree
• online watch window
• “Force and Write” for commissioning and for testing task variables and I/O devices
