TwinCAT – software-based control technology
for building automation
When Beckhoff introduced its PC-based control technology in 1986, the company also created a
worldwide standard for automation. On the software side, the TwinCAT automation suite is at
the heart of the controller. (TwinCAT stands for “the Windows control and automation technol-
ogy”.) TwinCAT converts nearly any PC-based system into a real-time controller with multiple
PLC runtime systems. All building automation systems are programmed and parameterised
with TwinCAT. The engineering environment has been designed for all popular programming
standards in the IT and automation fi elds from IEC 61131 to C/C++. Predefi ned software modules
simplify the engineering process, and functional enhancements or modifi cations are possible at
any time.
