Installation
The TwinCAT 3 Usermode Runtime is available as a workload in the TwinCAT package management workload
- TC170x | TwinCAT 3 Usermode Runtime
or as a package
- TwinCAT.XAR.UserModeRuntime.
System Requirements
Technical data | Description |
|---|---|
Operating system | Windows 10 |
Target platform | PC architecture (x64) |
TwinCAT version | TwinCAT 3.1.4026 |
Required TwinCAT license | TC1700: no separate license required, only licenses used elsewhere in the project TC1701: License "TC3 UserMode Runtime - ExternalControl" in addition to the licenses used elsewhere in the project TC1702: License "TC3 UserMode Runtime - FastAsPossible" in addition to the licenses used elsewhere in the project |
It is recommended to provide at least 2 cores for the operating system - otherwise communication may be interrupted if the computing time within the Usermode Runtime is heavily used.

Licensing
The TwinCAT 3 Usermode Runtime is used in different scenarios, which are licensed differently.
In principle, the licenses required for execution, such as TC1200 for the PLC, are also required for the device with TwinCAT 3 Usermode Runtime. This licensing takes place per device, so that mixed operation with real-time and Usermode Runtime is also possible with the same licenses.
The usual 7 days trial licenses can also be used in combination with the Usermode Runtime.
- Engineering (TC1700): No separate licensing requirement arises here. In combination with the 7 days trial licenses, this generally enables free test execution with the TwinCAT 3 Usermode Runtime as well as with the real-time runtime.
- External Control (TC1701): This interface is additionally licensed for the device in the usual way. Irrespective of this, the normal licenses (such as TC1200 PLC) are required for the device.
- Fast As Possible (TC1702): This interface is additionally licensed for the device in the usual way. Irrespective of this, the normal licenses (such as TC1200 PLC) are required for the device.
