You can create a program using those languages and lauch it with a TwinCAT program. Also there is a not very well documented feature that allows you to write function blocks for TwinCAT in C++. You can find some vague details about it on the 3s software web site.
Hi Archie. Great video. Would you consider doing a video outlining the differences between the various TwinCAT components (TwinCAT PLC, TwinCAT NC PTP, TwinCAT CNC, etc.) I would be great to get a concise breakdown of the roles of each package. Thanks
how to fixe the error 3612 knowing that twinact plc control project/options the controller setting don't appear in order to increase the number of POUs
Thanks for the feedback! It's always good to hear others are getting some good use from the software. I liked seeing your video. I don't get to see too many of the application created with AdvancedHMI. Is that a TwinCAT control system?
Hi man, tell me please, how to get administrator password for windows embedded which installed on backhoff c6015, and second, how to make backup all windows system for repair in future if will be some problem with windows system or maybe you know how to install clear windows system, maybe you saw video instructions or you know how it’s possible to make it, please let me know
Hello Archie, Your video is very interesting. Can you please inform me where can I get the DF1 FB you mentioned? Is it in the TwinCAT Llibraries? Can it be used to communicate with SLC, Micrologix and PLC5? Thanks a lot, Eduardo.
@fidelnjo You will need the Beckhoff ADS Communication Library which has DLL, ActiveX, and .NET components for communicating with TwinCAT. It is a free download and Beckhoff support will give you a free license key.
Hi I am looking for information on how to use the free base driver part of the TwinCAT system to build my own EtherCAT master. I´ve made already an example program with TwinCAT I/O, but this already has a realtime scheduler and master that will hook on my callback functions to interact with the remote I/Os as an example. But There is the free driver (item 7, right?). I still haven´t found concise and definitive information on how to do it, maybe you can give some starting points? Thanks
Hi Archie, great informative video! I try to understand something here. Suppose you have an HMI running standard windows XP and install TwinCAT onto it including the runtime library so that you can use this HMI as a PLC. Then you use the Ethernet port of the HMI to connect to a BK1120 EtherCAT coupler module and add some digital & analog I/O modules to it. The question, WinXP is not a real time OS, Ethernet is not real time networking. So, what can you expect from a configuration like this?
Beckhoff PLC is not user friendly, and a lot of FB need to create by own. following the sample from websit also wrong. kind of dissappointment. Better dont buy it

TwinCAT comes with a DLL-file you can use in Visual Studio to interact with the PLC program via ADS communication.

Did you get your answer about this? If yes, then please share.
i would like to interface a Beckhoff PLC using Allen Bradley FT View Studio. How do I do this.
Your video is very interesting. Can you please give me a help. how to make à backup for HMI beckhoff to my PC. thanks you.
how to upload plc program from plc to twincat 2.11
I soo interesting about your technology.could you help to add more Video learning step by step
hi i like to learn ,Your video is very interesting.
how can i get your all video

you can use a simulation SW with twin cat without complain. ua-cam.com/video/1qJc3gXJhb4/v-deo.html
