TwinCAT Loader

From TwinCAT 3.1 Build 4024.0 The functionality described here is available from TwinCAT 3.1. 4024.0.

TwinCAT 3 has an integrated function for loading modules created as TMX files. This is offered for Windows and TwinCAT/BSD® systems.
Modules loaded with the TwinCAT Loader:

• Must be signed: Test signing.
• Can be encrypted: Encrypting Modules, for which the TwinCAT Software Protection must be configured with a User DB.

For Beckhoff RT Linux^®, the modules are loaded via the operating system and do not have to be signed, but cannot be encrypted with TwinCAT Software Protection.
