TE3850 | TwinCAT 3 Machine Learning Creator
The TwinCAT 3 Machine Learning Creator automatically creates AI models based on data sets. These AI models can be optimized in terms of their accuracy and latency to ensure they run efficiently on Beckhoff Industrial PCs with TwinCAT products. The generated models can also be used as standardized ONNX models beyond the Beckhoff product range. For AI model execution with TwinCAT products, a PLCopen XML file with IEC 61131-3 code is created in addition to the model, which describes the complete AI pipeline and can be imported seamlessly into TwinCAT.
