TwinCAT offers many features and various software function blocks for all automation tasks. This range includes:
TwinCAT
The TwinCAT software system turns almost any PC-based system into a real-time control with multiple PLC, NC, CNC and/or robotics runtime systems.
TwinCAT Cloud Engineering
With TwinCAT Cloud Engineering, even globally distributed control systems in Industrie 4.0 environments are easy to operate and maintain remotely.
Module Type Package
MTP is a concept that can leverage optimization potential in process plants across the board, from planning to operation.
Machine learning for all areas of automation
Beckhoff offers a machine learning (ML) solution that is seamlessly integrated into TwinCAT 3.
TwinCAT Vision
TwinCAT Vision expands the TwinCAT world with an integrated image processing solution. For applications like Industrie 4.0., quality optimization and track-and-trace.
TwinCAT Analytics
The TwinCAT Analytics product family describes a complete workflow from the acquisition of data to its communication and historization to its analysis and visualization in web-based dashboards.
MATLAB®/Simulink® for TwinCAT 3
With the current TwinCAT 3 target products, it is possible to transfer analyses and simulations from MATLAB® and Simulink® directly into the TwinCAT world.
TwinCAT 3 Scope
The software oscilloscope is fully integrated within the TwinCAT control architecture and enables the simple graphical display of signal curves.
IoT AWS Cloud
Beyond the scope of conventional control tasks, applications such as big data, data mining and condition or power monitoring enable the implementation of superior, forward-looking automation solutions.
TwinCAT HMI
TwinCAT now integrates the Human Machine Interface directly into the familiar environment of Microsoft Visual Studio®. Programming is unnecessary as configuration is handled with ease using the graphical editor.
OPC UA
Beckhoff provides comprehensive generic functions in its products. TwinCAT offers an OPC UA interface that meets the corresponding Companion Specifications of the domains.
TwinCAT 3 Kinematic Transformation
TwinCAT Kinematic Transformation integrates robot control into standard automation software, so that PLC, motion control and robotics functions can be executed on a single Industrial PC.
TwinCAT for Industrie 4.0
Beckhoff provides the foundational technologies and tools needed today to implement Industrie 4.0 concepts and Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity, all via PC-based control.
TwinCAT 3 Wind Framework
The software framework incorporates all basic function for the engineering of wind turbines.
Industrie 4.0
The fourth industrial revolution introduced by the term ‘Industrie 4.0’ points toward intelligent, networked systems: previously separated production environments are combined to produce universal production worlds.
Scientific Automation
Scientific Automation is the integration of automation software with findings from engineering science.
