In addition to the control of Beckhoff axes, TwinCAT 3 MC3 also supports the control of axes from other manufacturers;
however, these require a multi-vendor license in addition to an axis license. Five multi-vendor licenses are included in the MC3 Base license, and more can be added through an additional TwinCAT 3 MC3 Multi Vendor Pack.
A variant of TF551x TwinCAT 3 MC3 Axes Packs is also required to obtain the necessary axis licenses.
