TF5560 | TwinCAT 3 MC3 Fluid PowerNew

TwinCAT 3 MC3 Fluid Power expands TF5500 TwinCAT 3 MC3 Base with complete hydraulic integration in TwinCAT. It offers manufacturer-independent control of position, speed, and pressure/force.

Three drive technologies are supported:

• valve-regulated drives
• pump-controlled drives
• variable-speed drives

The software ensures equally deep integration of electric and hydraulic axes and enables seamless interaction, precise synchronization, and flexible integration across different hardware platforms. With the scalable platform from Beckhoff, TwinCAT 3 MC3 Fluid Power can be used for a wide range of applications, from isolated hydraulic solutions to complete machine control systems.

It simplifies commissioning through the use of hydraulics-specific input parameters, such as cylinder design and pressure sensors, which facilitate the direct calculation of cylinder force. The library contains an integrated filter function and supports various position encoders (such as EtherCAT, SSI, EnDat®, and analog). It also monitors soft limits and tracking errors to ensure reliable operation. A hydraulically optimized control loop with integrated recording of valve characteristics further improves accuracy and control stability.
