Overview
This course focusses on PLC programming and hardware configuration using the TwinCAT 3 platform. Participants will learn about PLC programming with TwinCAT 3 and how to configure the hardware of a system using the Visual Studio shell. The training is based on the IEC 61131-3 standard. Advanced options such as object-oriented extensions of the IEC standard, module generation in C++ or high-level language visualisation interfaces are deliberately not included.
