TwinCAT 3 offers a wide range of options for connecting TCP/IP-based third-party systems to the control program: OPC UA, MQTT, HTTPS, and Modbus are just a few familiar examples from a large number of communication protocols. The wide range is extended by the TwinCAT S7 Communication function and the S7 communication protocol.
This product implementation facilitates reading and writing of S7 controller variables.
In the TwinCAT S7 Communication webinar, Sven Goldstein, Product Manager TwinCAT, and Jannik Best, Software Development TwinCAT, provide an overview of the product and its handling and subsequently present application examples and the functional principle of the new supplement. In a practical part, they show how projects can be realized with the supplement. Subsequently, they demonstrate the transfer of the information collected to the cloud.
