The focus of this training is on IEC 61131-3 programming and the communication options under TwinCAT. The training is both aimed at advanced PLC programmers who are switching to the TwinCAT system and beginners with basic programming skills.
In the second part of the course (day 4 and 5), you will learn how to establish connectivity for building automation protocols and libraries such as e.g. Modbus/RTU, Modbus/TCP, M-Bus, ADS, Database Server and HVAC-Lib.
