TF5100 | TwinCAT 3 NC I

Using TwinCAT NC I, movements with up to three path axes and up to five auxiliary axes can be interpolated. Various axis types with various fieldbus interfaces are supported. The movement is usually programmed in DIN 66025, but it can also alternatively be carried out via PLC function blocks.

Features

• max. 3 path axes and up to 5 auxiliary axes per interpolation channel
• max. 31 channels
• supports electric servo axes, stepper motor drives
• programming in DIN 66025
• additional language extensions with structured text (GST)
• access alternatively via function blocks according to IEC 61131-3
• interpreter functions such as subroutine and jump technology, programmable loops, zero point shifts, tool corrections, M and H functions, mathematical functions, variable programming, user macros
• geometry functions: straight lines and circles in 3D space, linear, circular and helical interpolation at the main levels and freely definable levels, Bezier splines, look-ahead function
• online reconfiguration of axes in groups, path override, slave coupling to path axes, auxiliary axes, axis error and sag compensation, measuring functions
• operation of automatic mode, manual mode (jog/inch), single block mode, referencing, handwheel mode (movement/overlay)
• convenient debugging with online monitoring of current setpoint/actual position (position lag of all axes), NC program line currently being processed, NC program line currently being interpreted, channel status
• support of kinematic transformations in combination with TF511x
