TwinCAT 3 eXtended Automation Technology (XAT)
Beckhoff created a global standard for automation with the launch of PC-based control technology in 1986. On the software side, the TwinCAT (The Windows Control and Automation Technology) automation suite forms the core of the control system. 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 3 is the systematic further development of TwinCAT 2, with which the world of automation technology is being redened. www.beckhoff.com/TwinCAT3

Integration in Microsoft Visual Studio makes it possible to program automation objects in parallel with the aid of the 3rd edition of IEC 61131-3 and the C or C++ languages. The objects (modules) generated can exchange data with each other and call each other independently of the language they were written in. The TwinCAT System Manager has been integrated into the development environment. This way, only one software is required to congure, parameterise, program and to diagnose automation devices.

TwinCAT 3 XA Language Support: IEC 61131-1
For more efcient programming of automation devices, the editors for IEC 61131-3 programming in TwinCAT have been signicantly improved. The operability in particular has been improved and the debugging options have been extended. The new options include improved inline monitoring, conditional break points and more.
In TwinCAT 3, the editors of the IEC 61131-3 have been integrated seamlessly into the Visual Studio environment. As a result, the editors use the original Visual Studio toolbox for the graphical languages, for example.
Improved inline monitoring for the structured text (ST) programming language
TwinCAT 3 likewise supports the extensions to the 3rd edition of the IEC 61131-3 standard that have not yet been nally decided. These enable among other things the use of object-oriented techniques such as single inheritance, interfaces, methods and attributes, which signicantly increase both the reusability and the quality of the control code.

TwinCAT 3 offers the possibility to program TwinCAT runtime modules in C/C++ languages. If Visual Studio 2010 in the version Professional, Premium or Ultimate is available on the engineering system, then TwinCAT 3 will integrate itself into the existing Visual Studio Shell in order to use the programming language C or C++ in addition to I/O conguration and the IEC 61131-3 for real-time tasks.

TwinCAT 3 modules consist of a range of formally dened attributes and interfaces. They enable general application of the modules with each other and externally. The predened interfaces enable cyclic calling of the internal module logic, for example. Each module implements a state machine that controls the initialisation, parameterisation and linking of the respective module.

TwinCAT 3 eXtended Automation Performance
Current developments in computer technology, which offer CPUs with more and more cores, enable the distribution of tasks across different cores. The TwinCAT 3 runtime environment follows this concept. It can be used to distribute functional units such as HMI, PLC runtime or MC to dedicated cores. For each of the cores used by the runtime environment the maximum load as well as the base time and therefore the possible cycle times can be set separately.

The TwinCAT Simulation Manager is a tool for simplied conguration of a simulation environment, which integrates into the TwinCAT system environment. It supports the creation of a "virtual machine", which corresponds to a real one in its runtime performance.
The TwinCAT ECAD import function serves the purpose of importing already existing engineering results from an ECAD program. It enables the import of information about the structure of the I/Os and their links to PLC variables, which is exported from the ECAD tool by means of XML description. On the basis of this information a system manager conguration and a basic PLC program with the I/O variables used are generated. The generation of NC devices is also possible.

The TwinCAT Management Server enables the central administration of BeckhoffCE controllers. Software updates, for example, can thus be loaded onto controllers in the network from a central location. Besides operating system updates, device-specic components (PLC boot projects) can also be loaded. By the option of separating known network devices into groups, individual actions can be dened for each group.
Files, directories, OS-specic information, settings and TwinCAT congurations can be backed up and restored using the TwinCAT Backup Server. This can be carried out on all connected media and also via the network.
The TwinCAT Matlab/Simulink Target offers System Target Files for the use of the Matlab/Simulink coder. It enables the generation of TwinCAT 3 runtime modules, which can be instanced and parameterised in the TwinCAT 3 engineering environment.
The TwinCAT Valve Diagram Editor enables the linearisation of non-linear curves of hydraulic valves with the aid of a graphical editor. On the basis of a few base points, straight lines or 5th degree polynomials can be determined that connect the points. The characteristic linearisation curve thus determined can be loaded into the TwinCAT NC real-time and taken into account when the voltages are output in the drive.
The TwinCAT CAM Design Editor enables the generation and modication of cam plates with the aid of a graphical editor. These are composed of sections of laws of motion such as modied sine waves, harmonic combinations, or of various polynomial functions. Velocity, acceleration and jerk are displayed in addition to the slave position. The generated cam plates can be transferred to the NC as tables with specied step size or as so-called motion functions.

The TwinCAT Serial Communication Function implements communication with serial devices such as printers, bar code scanners etc. The serial interface of the PC and the Beckhoff serial EtherCAT Terminals (EL6xxx) and Bus Terminals (KL6xxx) are supported.
The TwinCAT SMS/SMTP Function enables the transmission of SMS messages or e-mails using PLC function blocks. The latter also allows the transmission of le attachments, HTML texts and the setting of message priorities.

The TwinCAT Virtual Serial COM Function allows the EL60xx EtherCAT Terminals or EP6002 EtherCAT Box modules to be integrated into Windows CE or Windows XP as normal serial interfaces. The computer on which a serial interface is to be generated for it is dened individually for each EL60xx/EP6002. Access to the device connected to the terminal takes place via Windows API for serial interfaces.
The TwinCAT Database Server Function enables the exchange of data between databases and the TwinCAT system. PLC variables or direct values of the EtherCAT I/Os can be logged cyclically when changes occur or eventcontrolled by means of PLC function blocks.

For the standard-compliant communication between client and server, corresponding servers can be realised directly in the TwinCAT PLC with the IEC 61850/IEC 61400-25 Telecontrol function in TwinCAT 3. IEC 61850 provides data models for substation communication. IEC 61400-25 is based on IEC 61850 and offers specic extensions of the data model for wind farm communication. The respective server is congured using the TwinCAT telecontrol congurator. This decouples the conguration work from the programming work in the PLC and generates the corresponding PLC code. The PLC code can be imported into new or existing PLC projects.
The RFID Reader Communication Function allows various RFID readers to be addressed via a serial interface. The new TwinCAT RFID reader library offers a general, abstract interface that can be used for all readers. The conguration can easily be adapted to a specic reader.
The TwinCAT S5/S7 Communication Function enables the simple connection of TwinCAT to an S5 or S7 controller. The data blocks, ags, inputs, outputs, counters and timers of an S5 or S7 controller can be accessed using function blocks. The communication takes place using TCP/IP.
