Target Visualization

The Target-Visualization is one of the possible ways to use a TwinCAT Visualization. TwinCAT PLC Control can create ST code (Structured Text) for the visualization objects of a project. This code can be downloaded to the PLC together with the normal project code.

Thus, if it is supported by the target system and if an appropriate monitor is available, the visualization can be started directly on the PLC computer. It is not necessary any longer that the programming system is running in order to run the visualization. This means a considerable reduction of storage use.

Functions of the library SysLibTargetVisu.lib offer information about mouse-clicks performed by the user resp. entries of the dynamic textlist and allow to use these information in the program.
