Overview
The TwinCAT 3 Analytics Workbench is a TwinCAT 3 engineering product for creating continuous data analyses from various decentralized machine controllers. The configuration of the workbench is integrated into Microsoft Visual Studio® and is designed as a graphical user interface. Many algorithms, such as cycle time monitoring, life count, lifetime and minimum/maximum/mean, are available in a toolbox for configuring the analysis.
For simple visualization of the signal curves, the TwinCAT 3 Analytics Workbench contains the TwinCAT 3 Scope View Professional TE1300: the user can drag and drop the analysis results from the Analytics Configurator into the charting tool to highlight significant points in the data stream. Such markings can be simple minima and maxima, counter values or also the results of a logical operator that logically combines results from the machine controller so that they can be found in the data stream. This allows correlation with other signals in the Scope View to the exact cycle.
The MQTT input data is selected via the TwinCAT Target Browser, where live data and, via the TF3520 TwinCAT 3 Analytics Storage Provider, historical data are also available. Once the created analysis is complete and tested in the graphical editor, this configuration can be converted into readable PLC code with an associated HTML5 dashboard in just a few clicks. The automatically generated PLC code and dashboard can be downloaded directly to a device with TF3550 TwinCAT 3 Analytics Runtime and run there 24/7 in parallel with the actual production machines and provide analysis results. The display via the TwinCAT 3 HMI shows analysis results for machine operators, production managers and/or machine builders, for example.
Functionality Compared to the Analytics Service Tool, the Analytics Workbench offers complementary features including code and dashboard generation. All functions of the Service Tool are also included in the Workbench. |
