TwinCAT 3 training: NC point-to-point programming
The focus of this training course is basic knowledge of TwinCAT Motion. It is aimed at PLC programmers who would like to learn about the possible use and application of motion control within TwinCAT.
Overview
This Beckhoff course is designed to introduce the basic knowledge required to begin implementation of a typical motion control application using Beckhoff hardware and software solutions. Drive technology, servo configuration, and our motion programming library will be discussed.
Requirements
A PC with a Windows operating system.
TwinCAT 3: PLC Basics OR prior Beckhoff structured text (ST) programming experience.
Objectives
Beckhoff motion hardware solutions
Beckhoff motion architecture, implementation options
TwinCAT 3 NC, drive configuration basics for:
Simulation axes
Servo motors
Motion control library programming
