System requirements
Description of minimum requirements needed for engineering and/or runtime systems.
Development environment
A pure development environment describes a computer on which PLC programs are developed but not executed. The following components must be installed on a development computer:
- TwinCAT 3 XAE (Engineering) build 4012 or higher
- TwinCAT 3 function TF4100 controller toolbox version 3.4.0.0 or higher
- Please note: A 7-day trial license can be used for the development environment, see Licensing.
Runtime environment
A runtime environment describes a computer on which PLC programs are executed. The following components must be installed on a runtime computer:
- TwinCAT3 XAR build 4012 or higher
- Licenses for TC1200 PLC and TF4100 controller toolbox
- Please note: A 7-day trial license key can be used for testing purposes, see Licensing.
Developer environment and runtime on one computer
If runtime and development environments are to run on the same computer (e.g. to test a PLC program before it is loaded on the target computer), the following requirements must be met:
- TwinCAT3 XAE (engineering installation) build 4012 or higher
- TwinCAT 3 function TF4100 controller toolbox version 3.4.0.0 or higher
- Please note: A 7-day trial license key can be used for testing purposes, see Licensing.
