PC-based automation with TwinCAT
TwinCAT 3 automation software integrates real-time control with PLC, NC, and CNC functions in a single package. Beckhoff controllers are programmed uniformly with the TwinCAT Engineering (XAE), according to the programming standards IEC 61131-3 with C++, MATLAB® and Simulink®. The generated code is executed in the TwinCAT Runtime (XAR). The TwinCAT Runtime is a multitasking operating system that runs in parallel on the host operating system. Windows and TwinCAT/BSD in 32-bit and 64-bit variants can be used as host operating systems. In addition to high determinism, the TwinCAT real-time offers the possibility to fully utilize the PC's existing cores in multicore operation.
TwinSAFE
Apart from aids for purely functional automation, Beckhoff provides a comprehensive solution for the field of safety technology in TwinSAFE. The TwinSAFE system offers maximum flexibility in hardware and software, enabling all possible tasks in the field of safety technology to be solved appropriately.
