New chart in TwinCAT Scope for 3D visualizations

Array time chart for control data waterfall charts

The new Array Time Chart in TwinCAT Scope visualizes PLC data in three dimensions directly from the controller, with precise timestamps and outstanding performance.

3D spectrogram in the TwinCAT Scope array time chart, where a frequency trend is recorded against time on the Z-axis.

Time series, frequencies, or harmonics – all data stored in arrays can be displayed and monitored over time in Scope, either as a waterfall diagram or as a mesh with optional grid and definable color sections with gradient and adjustable aspect ratio for the perfect ratio display in perspective. Camera views can be saved and changed with smooth camera movements so that the data can be analyzed repeatedly from identical angles.

Perfectly suited for:

  • frequency and order analysis
  • FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) evaluations
  • vibration diagnostics on drives
  • test bench data acquisition
  • condition and power monitoring

This allows patterns and therefore peak values and faults to be detected and interpreted quickly. The new chart will be included in TwinCAT Scope Base and in TE1300 Scope View Professional.
