PLC API

In many plants workpieces undergo machining operations while being transported. For this purpose it is necessary to synchronise the position and the speed of tool and workpiece, so that the tool can then be applied as if to a stationary workpiece. One example of such an application is a saw that during the transport process cuts through the material that is being transported (flying saw). In order to implement this kind of application, TwinCAT provides the flying saw.

The TwinCAT PLC library TcMC2_FlyingSaw.lib, available as an additional product, provides easy management of the flying saw. An example program using the flying saw makes use of this library.

Zur einfachen Handhabung der Fliegenden Säge dient die TwinCAT PLC Library TcMC2_FlyingSaw.lib, die als zusätzliches Produkt erhältlich ist. Ein Beispielprogramm zum Thema Fliegende Säge verwendet diese Bibliothek.

The following PLC function blocks are available for operation of the Universal Flying Saw.
