TwinCAT PLC for upgraders: What is the difference between TwinCAT 2 PLC and TwinCAT 3 PLC?
With TwinCAT 3 automation software Beckhoff has extended the options of PC-based control technology. The integration into Microsoft Visual Studio® and the introduction of new functions such as support for the object-oriented extension of IEC 61131-3, the use of C/C++ as programming language for real-time applications or the integration of Matlab®/Simulink®, offer users new options for programming of PLC, NC, CNC or robotics runtime systems.
In this 30-minute webinar Dr. Josef Papenfort, TwinCAT Product Manager, explains the differences between TwinCAT 2 PLC and TwinCAT 3 PLC and gives recommendations for users who want to upgrade.
The webinar is aimed at practice-oriented users who already have experience with TwinCAT 2 automation software and are interested in upgrading to TwinCAT 3.
