TwinCAT MC3 是倍福最新一代运动控制软件解决方案。

新型 TwinCAT Runtime 基于倍福的 Linux^® 发行版

The TwinCAT 3 Analytics functions have been enhanced.

The TE1402 TwinCAT 3 Target for Embedded Coder^® is an extension of the TE1400 TwinCAT 3 Target for Simulink^®. Building on the existing capabilities of the TwinCAT 3 Target for Simulink^®, which uses the Simulink^® Coder (GRT target) from MathWorks for automatic code generation, the TE1402 also makes it possible to use the Embedded Coder^® (ERT target) from MathWorks. The TE1402 essentially leverages the functions of the TE1400 while also harnessing the properties of the Embedded Coder^® to achieve target platform specialization. For example, CPU-specific command extensions can be used to make models created on the Beckhoff Industrial PC run faster.

The TwinCAT 3 Simulation Runtime for FMI provides an interface for simulation tools that support the Functional Mockup Interface (FMI). The interface is based on the TwinCAT 3 UserMode Runtime, which can be accessed in sync from the simulation tool. This is exported to an FMU together with an interface description configured in TwinCAT, and can be imported into any simulation tool that supports the FMI interface as a co-simulation. Support is offered for both FMI 2.0 and 3.0. The TwinCAT project that is being executed in the FMU can also be part of the FMU; however, it is also possible to connect to this UM runtime with a TwinCAT engineering system and monitor or modify the code executed in the FMU in TwinCAT.

The TwinCAT 3 Machine Learning Creator automatically creates AI models based on data sets. These AI models can be optimized in terms of their accuracy and latency to ensure they run efficiently on Beckhoff Industrial PCs with TwinCAT products. The generated models can also still be used as standardized ONNX models beyond the Beckhoff product range. For use with TwinCAT products, a PLCopen XML with IEC 61131-3 code is created in addition to the ONNX file, which describes the complete AI pipeline and can be imported seamlessly into TwinCAT.

The TF2400 TwinCAT 3 HMI Audit Trail extension enables changes to the HMI operator and system events that have occurred to be securely recorded so that they can be traced chronologically. The entries are stored in a database and can be generated as a PDF report or exported in different formats (JSON, HTML, CSV). Electronic signatures allow a user to be reauthenticated with higher privileges. This product enables applications to be developed according to the provisions of FDA 21 CFR part 11, GAMP and GMP.

The TF2400 TwinCAT 3 HMI Audit Trail extension contains 250 audit trail symbols as standard. If more symbols need to be monitored, optional packages are available with TF24x0 to increase this number. The number at the end of the package name is the number of symbols that are included (e.g. the TF2430 TwinCAT 3 HMI Audit Trail Symbols Pack 1000 has 1000 additional symbols). The total number of audit trail symbols is calculated from the sum of the individual packages.

The TwinCAT 3 Machine Learning Server includes a connection to a local client as standard (local TwinCAT runtime). If (possibly further) TwinCAT runtimes need remote access to a TwinCAT 3 Machine Learning Server, these runtimes must each be equipped with a license for the TF3830 TwinCAT 3 Machine Learning Client.

Using the TwinCAT 3 CNC Axes Pack unlimited, extension is possible up to a total of 128 axes/controlled spindles, of which a maximum of 32 can be path axes and a maximum of 12 can be controlled spindles.

The TwinCAT 3 CNC Milling Base provides a comprehensive package of different cycles for triple-axis milling and drilling. It facilitates programming for these machines by encapsulating the required processes in parameterizable and reusable modules.

TwinCAT 3 Vision Code Quality complements the basic package with functions for quality evaluation of various 1D and 2D codes. Evaluation is carried out in accordance with the ISO/IEC 15415 and ISO/IEC 15416 standards.

TwinCAT 3 Vision OCR contains functions for optical character recognition (OCR). The functions identify characters in an image and return the recognized character string.

TwinCAT 3 Vision Neural Network provides an integrated machine learning (ML) solution for vision-specific use cases. The implementation of the machine learning models takes place in real time. With the help of these models, complex data analyses can be learned automatically. This means that complex, manually created program constructs can be replaced.

The MB3112-0000-0000 baseplate has 12 combined data and power slots. The first slot is intended for the EtherCAT connection. This slot can only be used by an IPC or coupler module. The further slots can be occupied with any 1-, 2- or 3-row modules. The baseplate has 6 connection points for the potential equalization.

The DC link power supply unit generates the DC link voltage for supplying the axis modules and the option modules from the mains voltage. It contains all of the circuit components required for this, such as line filters, rectifiers and charging circuits for the integrated DC link capacitors.

The axis module contains the DC link and the inverter for supplying the motor. Depending on the required number of axes, the axis modules are mounted on the baseplate behind the DC link power supply unit thus forming a multi-axis servo system. Axis modules of different ratings can be combined to enable an optimized design of the individual axes.

TwinCAT 3 Vision Neural Network provides an integrated machine learning (ML) solution for vision-specific use cases. The implementation of the machine learning models takes place in real time. With the help of these models, complex data analyses can be learned automatically. This means that complex, manually created program constructs can be replaced.
