1 PC-Based Control for Process Automation: products for hazardous areas and integration of relevant interfaces Ing. Mirko Vincenti Beckhoff Automation Srl Infrastructure & Building Automation Manager

2 PC-Based Control the our automation revolution... Three decades ago Beckhoff revolutionised traditional thinking with an idea that has changed all current rules: Hardware 1 Hardware 2 Hardware 3 Hardware 4 HMI PLC Motion control Communication Hardware 5 Measurement Instead of different and complex hardware modules with different software platforms, we have defined a hardware-based PC for all control functions HMI PLC Motion control Communication PC-based hardware Windows operating system Measurement

3 PC-Based Control Overview PC-based control technology from Beckhoff sets new standards in automation. PC hardware Fieldbus TwinCAT software Base I/O TwinSAFE PLC Control Control (PID) HMI Motion NC PTP NC I CNC Robotics Measurement Technology Connectivity

4 Solutions for different areas Scientific Automation TwinCAT Engineering Industry Remote Access SCADA, MES, ERP FTP-Server, Database, Webspace Cyber- Physical Systems

5 PC-Based Control: move the control from the hardware to the software Beckhoff's philosophy is PC control: increase the control functionality from hardware modules to specific software modules to integrate PLC, Motion Control and Safety, Connectivity as the only PC software solution. This idea was a real revolution. And it immediately led to a significant reduction in costs and complexity.

6 TwinCAT 3: the our Run-Time Software for PC-Based Control integration in Microsoft Visual Studio for PLC, C/C++ and/or C# programmers configuration, parameterisation and diagnostics of system, fieldbus and motion module generation (C/C++ or MATLAB /Simulink ) debugging PLC, C/C++, MATLAB /Simulink TwinCAT 3 Engineering Environment based on Visual Studio System Manager Configuration I/O PLC C/C++ NC NC I CNC Safety andere Programming Non-realtime C#.NET TwinCAT transport layer ADS Real time IEC IEC Compiler Object-oriented extension C/C++ MATLAB / Simulink Simulink coder Microsoft C Compiler Third-party programming tool C/C++ TwinCAT 3 runtime
