Using TwinCAT HMI with the TF8550 NuGet packages
The NuGet packages of the TF8550 product can be integrated into any TwinCAT HMI project. For this purpose, the corresponding license for TF8550 is required in the PLC. The package provides the NuGet packages described in chapters. The NuGet packages can be included via the package management system NuGet. To do this, the package source under which the NuGet packages are located must be included. After that, the NuGet packages can be located and installed via the search. The installed NuGet packages are available in the project after a restart of the project.
The Configurator control is part of the Beckhoff.TwinCAT.HMI.Plastic.Controls NuGet package and can be dragged onto a view or content via the toolbox. The control is used to set specific functions and the appearance of some other controls that are in the same NuGet package. The control only needs to exist with the desired parameters, but has no other functionality and therefore does not need to be visible.
