Tutorial: Interaction between TwinCAT Analytics Editors and TwinCAT Scope

The TwinCAT 3 Scope View is a software oscilloscope for the graphic representation of signal curves in different chart types. These could be, for example, YT, XY, bar or digital charts. The Scope View Professional extends the Scope View Base version supplied with TwinCAT 3 XAE by additional functionalities. The field of application refers to processes that are to be tracked and monitored over a longer period of time.

The TwinCAT 3 Analytics Storage Provider is an MQTT client and provides an interface between one or more MQTT message brokers and the relevant data storage units. Various controllers can send data via MQTT, which the storage provider can then store centrally. This can be cyclic raw data or pre-processed data. Historized data is also imported via the storage provider. The storage provider can thus output the data in Engineering for the service technician or in an analytics dashboard in the interactive chart for the production manager.

The TwinCAT 3 Analytics Workbench is a TwinCAT 3 engineering product for the creation of continual data analyses from various spatially distributed machine controllers. The configuration of the workbench is integrated in Microsoft Visual Studio^® and serves as the graphic user interface. Many algorithms are available in a toolbox for the configuration of the analysis:

The TwinCAT 3 engineering components enable the configuration, programming and debugging of applications.
