What is TwinCAT ? TwinCAT is an automation package comprising engineering and runtime software for • sequence control (Software PLC), • motion (Software Motion Control), • communication over all components (ADS), technological function (controllers, • communication, OS functions, etc...) and all this in HARD REALTIME on Windows NT/2000/XP as well as on Windows NT/XP Embedded and CE.NET. 10.02.2009 Beckhoff TwinCAT 5

TwinCAT architecture TwinCAT on a PC platform TwinCAT � does not modify Windows � needs no special hardware � turns standard Windows to a real-time OS � Floating Point Unit (FPU) fully supported � full access to Windows user interface via OCX, Dll � remote access via TCP/IP PC platform � standard hardware, best performance � use of PC resources � use of mainstream operating system (Windows) � easy integration into office networks � open field bus communication 10.02.2009 Beckhoff TwinCAT 6
