  • Run Mode (Enable): TwinCAT starts in Run Mode as soon as the operating system is up and running. It does not require any users to be logged in.
  • Config Mode (default setting)

Allow Restricted Licenses

Enables the use of Restricted Runtime licenses.

It is prohibited to use Restricted Runtime licenses on machines.

If you are working with an IPC, you can find more information on logging in to a system in the Windows 10 IoT Enterprise (LTSB/LTSC) documentation in the General information chapter.

Encrypted

Apply

The settings are applied.

WARNING

Serious bodily injury and property damage caused by a sudden machine shutdown during operation

When Restricted Runtime licenses are activated and used on machines, TwinCAT automatically switches to Config Mode after 6 hours. This can cause the machine to stop suddenly, resulting in unpredictable movements that may lead to serious injury or damage to the machine or workpieces. It is prohibited to use Restricted Runtime licenses on machines.

  • Never use Restricted Runtime licenses on machines.
