Software requirements

Generally, two TwinCAT software modules are required for controlling the AX5000:

• TwinCAT NC
• TwinCAT PLC

TwinCAT NC is a closed software module whose features the user can only influence via parameters. The TwinCAT NC parameters can be set in the TwinCAT System Manager.

TwinCAT PLC is a program code which the user creates in the PLC Control development environment.
