The TwinCAT 3 engineering components enable the configuration, programming and debugging of applications.
The TwinCAT 3 basic components can be extended by functions.
The basic components can be extended by TwinCAT 3 functions. The functions are classified into various categories. e.g. motion control, measurement technology, control technology and communication.
More flexibility in automation development through modularity and extensions
The TwinCAT 3 runtime components are available for different platform levels. The platform levels correspond to the various TwinCAT 3 platform levels of the Beckhoff PCs.
TwinCAT 3.1 offers the option of using a TwinCAT 3 license key (license dongle) for licensing.
TwinCAT 2 Base consists of runtime systems for the real-time execution of control programs and development environments for programming, configuration and diagnostics.
The TwinCAT 2 Supplements can be used for the individual addition of functions to the TwinCAT 2 Base components.
