5 2 Days Monthly IEC TwinCAT 2 PLC Programming An introduction to structured programming and TwinCAT 2 TwinCAT is a real-time control system designed to take a normal Windows PC and allow it to take control of machine applications and processes in a deterministic way. These course descriptions are basic outlines designed to give the attendee an idea of what to expect during a pre-arranged course. Time scales are flexible as TwinCAT is different from both a Windows programming environment and a PLC programming environment. As each course unfolds it takes on its own direction allowing the attendees to steer the lessons according to their specific requirements.
