Installation
To use the TwinCAT Machine Learning Server you need three components:
- TF3820 | TwinCAT Machine Learning Server
Install and license this workload either directly on your control IPC or on an Edge IPC. - Installs the TcMlServer service on the system.
- TF3830 | TwinCAT Machine Learning Server Client
Install this workload on your engineering PC to use the required PLC library. - Installs the PLC library Tc3_MlServer for the TwinCAT 3 XAE.
- TF38xx | TwinCAT Machine Learning Model Manager
Install this workload on your engineering PC to prepare the ONNX file for use in TwinCAT.

Installation on systems with TF3800 or TF3810 version 3.2.6 and later
 | Potential conflict with old installations There may be conflicts regarding the packages for the TwinCAT Machine Learning Model Manager. This conflict is quickly resolved by uninstalling. |
If you have installed a version of the workload TF3800.MachineLearningInferenceEngine.XAE or TF3810.NeuralNetworkInferenceEngine.XAE in version 3.2.6 or lower, you should first uninstall these workloads:
tcpkg uninstall TF3800.MachineLearningInferenceEngine.XAE --include-dependenciestcpkg uninstall TF3810.NeuralNetworkInferenceEngine.XAE --include-dependenciesOnly then should you install the workloads in version 3.2.10 or higher.
