TwinCAT PLC Motion Control Toolbox
In early 2002, Beckhoff was one of the first manufacturers to certify one of their products (TwinCAT TcMC.lib) with the function blocks of version 1.0 of the PLCopen motion control standard. The blocks work in conjunction with the NC PTP version of TwinCAT and have already been implemented in many applications. Another Beckhoff product was certified in time for the SPS/IPC/DRIVES 2004 Fair in Nuremberg/Germany – the TwinCAT PLC Motion Control Toolbox. This software product now has the "PLCopen MC certified" logo.
The TwinCAT PLC Motion Control Toolbox enables simple Motion Control solutions to be programmed as pure PLC code. The advantage of this library is its flexibility. Blocks can be freely combined and modified within the PLC code. This library is particularly popular for complex hydraulic axes with position and pressure control.
