AA-TWI410 BECKHOFF TWINCAT 3 Practical & Programming Course

Category:

Description

Considering the current situation in industrial automation we can distinguish a tendency to improve the flexibility and adaptability of technological processes. In this context, TwinCAT 3 comes as a natural development of the real-time control software TwinCAT 2. The “only one software for programming and configuration” brings many advantages and new features to PC-based control technology.

This course proposes an initiation theme in Beckhoff TwinCAT 3 programming being considered as a starting point in career development in industrial automation.

Target group: Electricians and engineers

 

Content:

• Structure and functions of a programmable logic controllers

• Overview of IEC 61131-3 standard and programming languages: IL, ST, LAD, FBD, SFC, CFC

• Automation structures and communication buses (E-Bus, K-Bus)

• TwinCAT 2 – TwinCAT 3 comparison: advantages and new functionalities

• EtherCAT communication protocol

• Functions of TwinCAT 3 programming environment

• Graphical interfaces

• Faults simulations and maintenance work with Beckhoff equipment

 

Objectives: 

At the end of this seminar, the trainees will be able to:

• Identify Beckhoff equipment

• Use and combine different programming languages for automation solutions

• To program IEC 61131-3 compatible equipment

• Use different types of variables (local/global)

• Use simulation, test and troubleshooting tools

• Provide visualization interfaces for maintenance

• To identify and isolate communication problems

• Identify the operating state of coupled elements in an EtherCAT topology

 

Duration: 4 days

Note: Enrollment and participation in this course requires basic knowledge in the field.
