TR3038 | TwinCAT 3 Training: Accelerated IO, EtherCAT, PLC, Motion, TwinSAFE, and TwinCAT HMI Training

TwinCAT 3 Training: Accelerated IO, EtherCAT, PLC, Motion, TwinSAFE, and TwinCAT HMI Training

Description

This class provides a project-based development experience covering the core Beckhoff technologies fundamental to many of today's applications.
This training is aimed at personnel who need to develop applications or maintain a high level of understanding / ownership to support existing applications.
Basic to intermediate level curriculum will be discussed in the areas of IO hardware, EtherCAT, PLC programming, NC PTP motion, TwinSAFE, and TwinCAT HMI.

Please note that a large amount of material will be covered in a short period of time, so this class is not suitable for students without an existing automation background with these technologies.

Prerequisites

Customers are expected to have good computer skills (typing and file and folder creation is critical).  Experience with PLC systems and motion controllers are recommended.

Audience

  • Control engineers who need to develop applications or maintain a high level of understanding / ownership to support existing applications.
  • This class is not ideal for maintenance personnel looking to troubleshoot applications (see TR3025 or TR3037 instead).

Content

The main topics of the course include:

  • TwinCAT 3 software fundamentals

  • EtherCAT and IO hardware basics (brief)

  • PLC programming in structured text

  • TwinSAFE software and hardware introduction

  • Motion (NC PTP) software basics
