TwinCAT PLC

The Beckhoff TwinCAT Software System turns any compatible PC into a real-time controller with a multi-PLC system, NC axis control, programming environment and operating station. The TwinCAT programming environment is also used for programming the BC9000. If you have installed TwinCAT PLC (WinNT4, Win2000, XP), you can use the Ethernet connection or the serial port for software download and for debugging.

TwinCAT I/O or TwinCAT PLC can also be used as the Ethernet Master (host), in order to exchange process data with the Bus Terminal Controller. TwinCAT provides you with the System Manager as a configuration tool, as well as the drivers and the ADS protocol.
