TwinCAT 3 由 TwinCAT 3 开发环境(TwinCAT 3 Engineering,XAE)和 TwinCAT 3 运行时环境(TwinCAT 3 Runtime,XAR)构成。
TwinCAT 3 开发环境(PLC 编程)是免费的,并可安装在任意数量的开发 PC 上。但超出纯 PLC 编程的额外功能/开发工具(TExxxx)以及 TwinCAT 3 运行时 授权(TCxxxx/TFxxxx)需要收费。
TwinCAT 3 运行时的授权价格取决于所使用的工业 PC 的性能。性能被细分为各种平台等级。
TwinCAT 3 授权可以直接在工业 PC 上激活, 但我们建议使用 TwinCAT 3 授权加密狗。
对于当前的 TwinCAT 3 版本(Build 4022 以上),TwinCAT 3 授权可以方便地通过授权密钥 U 盘 C9900-L100/-L101/-L102 或者 EtherCAT 授权密钥端子模块 EL6070、EL6071 或 EL6072 订购,然后可以立即投入使用。
用户可以随时给 TwinCAT 3 授权加密狗添加额外的授权文件。一个 TwinCAT 3 授权加密狗最多可以有 20 个授权文件,每个文件的授权数量不限。
TwinCAT 3 授权加密狗可以让 TwinCAT 3 授权独立于正在使用的工业 PC。通过该加密狗,可以简单地更换工业 PC 或在不同的工业 PC 上使用授权。
TwinCAT 3 授权加密狗支持平台等级向下兼容。一个较高平台等级的授权可用于所有较低的平台等级。
