Installation TwinCAT/BSD

The TwinCAT 3 UI Client is available as a package for TwinCAT/BSD in the repository. The following command can be used to install the package with root rights in the shell:

doas pkg install TF1200-UI-Client

Under TwinCAT/BSD, the UI Client is delivered with scripts that make it easier to set up the graphical user interface. Change to the path with the command:

cd /usr/local/etc/TwinCAT/Functions/TF1200-UI-Client/scripts

When the scripts are executed with the --help parameter, their use is described.

Call the following command to set up the graphical environment under TwinCAT/BSD:

doas ./setup-full.sh --user=TF1200 --autologin --autostart

Parameter	Description
--user	User that is automatically created and added to the video group if it does not already exist. It is recommended to use a dedicated user who is not an administrator/root.
--autologin	Sets up the autologin in the operating system for the specific user (optional).
--autostart	Sets up the autostart of the UI Client (optional).

After starting, the configuration file config.json is created under this path: /home/tf1200/.config/TF1200-UI-Client
