TwinCAT BA Project Builder

The basic prerequisite for meeting the high demands placed on building automation, such as comfort, the saving of energy, low investment and running costs and a fast return on investment, is an integrated, co-ordinated control system for the automation of all building technical systems. In TwinCAT Building Automation Beckhoff has developed a software product that reduces the engineering time and integrates all essential functions for each system of a modern building automation. Extensive software libraries and supplements continue the concept of the modular Beckhoff automation construction kit at software level as well. The new software suite essentially encompasses three basic functions:

1. TwinCAT BA PLC Libraries: basic functions for all building systems.
2. TwinCAT BA PLC Templates: function templates for all building systems.
3. TwinCAT BA Project Builder: configuration tool that links templates, hardware and BACnet objects with one another.
