Hi Archie. I have a couple of questions. What do you need to use the BC9000 is it a special card or just whatever ethernet card in my computer? The other question i have a BK5200 (Devicenet coupler) and i am using a 1787 PCIDS card with is an AB devicenet scaner card for the PC. And i cant add it to system manager configuration. when i put browse it does not find my PCIDS card and if i want to manually and the device i dont find my card in the list. Do i need a devicenet card made from Beckhoff?
Its been a few years, but the last I known you can only use SST(this may no longer be true) and Beckhoff DeviceNet cards (e.g. FC52xx series) with TwinCAT. As for the BC9000, you can use any ethernet card. If you want to use the BK9000 for IO, there are several options. For real time, you need an Ethernet card based on the Intel chipset, otherwise any card will work.
RIght-click the program in the POU list on the left, then select Convert Object. This gives you options of converting to another language such as IL or FBD
I use TwinCAT mostly for work, but I work with a lot as a hobby also. Glad to hear that you liked the video and will become a TwinCAT user, I think you'll find it to be a very powerful software.
Yes. TwinCAT can run as a PC based PLC. Or you can use the Beckhoff hardware to run it on conventional PLC style hardware. The nice thing is that it is the exact same programming environment no matter which one you use.

Can you put more videos about TwinCAT.
So Beckhoff sell industrial PCs and PLCs?
enriqueesp 3 years ago
I intended to make more TwinCAT videos, but my time has not allowed me to make them right now.
If you are asking whether Beckhoff sells PLC's and PC's, then answer is Yes.

Please post some working english tutorial links here. It'd help people out. I'd also appreciate if you'd PM me some links. :)

So with twinCat you can use youre computer as a PLC?
