Licenses

Two licenses are required to use the full functionality of the TE1400 TwinCAT Target for Simulink®. On the one hand, the TE1400 engineering license for creating TwinCAT objects from Simulink® and, on the other hand, a runtime license for executing these objects during the TwinCAT runtime.

Engineering license

The license TE1400 Target for Simulink® is required for the engineering system for creating TcCOM and PLC function blocks from Simulink®. For testing purposes, the product can be used in demo mode without a license as a demo version.

Licenses 1:

A 7-day trial license with full functionality is not available for this product.

Restrictions in the demo version

Without valid TE1400 license models are allowed with maximum:

Licenses 2:

Modules created with a demo license may only be used for non-commercial purposes!

Runtime license

A runtime license is required to start a TwinCAT configuration containing one or more TwinCAT objects generated from Simulink®.

Required licenses for execution are:
TF1400 TwinCAT 3 Runtime for MATLAB®/Simulink® and TC1300 TwinCAT 3 C++. Both licenses are included in the TC1320 and TC1220 license bundles. TC1320 bundles TC1300 and TF1400 licenses (C++ and MATLAB®/Simulink® Runtime). TC1220 bundles the TC1200, TC1300 and TF1400 licenses (PLC, C++ and MATLAB®/Simulink® Runtime).

Licenses 3:

License TF1400 License only from TwinCAT 3.1.4026.0

The TF1400 license is only supported from TwinCAT 3.1.4026.0. For earlier versions only the license bundles TC1220 or TC1320 are available. The license bundles are still supported with build 4026 and higher. The TF1400 license is only required if the TwinCAT 3 C++ license is already available on the target system via a license.

Without activated license, the module and consequently the TwinCAT system cannot be started.

You can generate a 7-day trial license for the named runtime licenses, which allows initial testing without purchasing the license.
