Such a high quality effort. I'm truly grateful. My old job paid for me to go to a Beckhoff training through Beckhoff. That five day training session doesn't even come close to this series in terms of efficiency and applicable knowledge. You should offer your training as a service and talk with companies that would want to hire you to come out and teach their controls team. You could make a lot of money doing so.

Thanks for your feedback. This course was never about making money. It's about making the controls industry more open in regards with sharing knowledge, which has always been quite bad to be honest. If you do however want to make a donation, you are welcome to do so through any of the links in the video description.

In a world where a single seat of a development environment costs $6,000/year one company still makes their development environment free for everyone! Honestly, beckhoff has the best licensing scheme and their industrial PCs are very affordable.

Hi Jakob, Would really like to thank you for this tutorial series. It has been quiet confusing for me till now with Beckhoff PLCs. the Insfosys is definietly a bit overwhelming, but i find your tutorial quiet easy to take in. I have a question at this point. i have a Beckhoff PLC CX8090 which has twincat 2 runtime in it. Could i program this PLC using twincat 3? I understand, that twincat 3 is an extension of twincat 2, so maybe we can migrate the plc projects between twincat 2 and twincat 3. Is it possible?

Hi Lakshimi! No, you can't program a target device running TwinCAT 2 using a TwinCAT 3 engineering environment. You can migrate a TwinCAT 2 project to a TwinCAT 3 project, but then you can't deploy it to your CX8090 anymore.

A question regarding the example of tasks execution in the shared core configuration: does the cycle time for task1 and task2 in this example is of 1ms or you still intended the same configuration for the previous example of about 10ms per each task? Let me understand more: for the 1ms scenario I would say that task1 and task2 ended their code cycle completely that's why the OS gets waken up immediately in the first tick while for the 10ms scenario I would say that task1 and task2 went to idle (the OS gets waken up also) but still they didn't complete their internal code cycle because I can see by the graphs that the next time a tick happens, they will be doing other calculations, otherwise I will expect only the OS to run for all the remaining cycle-time of the tasks. Are those two scenario the correct way to see it independently of the cycle-time you defined?

Before asking my question, I wanna say that I'm totally a pure beginner to such kind of programming.

And the Intel Virtualization technology which you mentioned in the video, is still necessary in above configuration what I said previously?

First of all thank you for making great videos. I am very excited although I am newbie in TwinCat world, your video help me a lot.

Hi Jacob, i'm following you step by step but I'm unable to start new project as it shows access denied error message.What to do with this? Please reply

do you have any solution if I make (accidently) an infinite loop in one plc cycle (by a while or a repeat until) the PC or PLC drop blue screen with tcplc30.sys error and restarts windows 10. In Siemens PLC-s in this case only goes to stop mode because the cycle time is exceeded but here the whole Operating system crashes

How to get access to build such projects like you? I mean how to get a client for your programming service?

Hello Jakob, I need some help. I know this video is a bit old. So here is my situation, I’ve basically copied the exact code and setting you showed in the video. But besides simulating, I’m actually downloading to CX5140 controller. When I download then go online. And hit the start program button. My program does nothing. I look in the online task menu bar and the red line in the trend stays at the bottom and never moves. It seems like my task will not run. What can I look at? What could be the problem? Is it due to not having a runtime license on my controller?

Interesting video, this is my first time interacting with Berckoff systems. Is there a document on this? I am honestly overwhelmed by what one has to know prior to interacting with Berckoff, I'll appreciate it.

Hello Jakok, Thank you very much for the series of tutorials. I would like in my company to switch to beckhoff PLC to allow communication with our IT system. The goal is to add a communication layer between the low level devices in the assembly plant and the ERP system. But I have a point from my IT department concerning the security. By default, all PC in my company are managed by the IT. They control the hardware, software, rights policies, antivirus, firewall, etc... What is you opinion about the windows OS for a PLC concerning Stability : windows malware, virus ? Need of an antivirus ? windows update ? windows reboot ? Disk fragmentation ? What is your recommendation on those topics ? In PLC world, when a system is installed, it will never changed (except for bug correction and new features requested). In my plant, we have plc that have been running for years without any intervention (maybe one stop per year for summer break) and the system had never been updated. Does windows PLC can run without any reboot for long time ? Do you suggest to reboot the PLC every week (month) ? I asked beckhoff about the BSD solution but you loose all features concerning files management, ftp, database, mqtt, etc ... so the advantage of the twincat solution. I have an application developed by an integrator with WAGO plc on Linux os, do you know this solution, how does it compare to beckhoff ? Thank you again for the time spent to make your tutorials that are very well explained.

@JakobSagatowski

3 жыл бұрын

Hi Olivier! I would say standard procedures regarding security apply. A beckhoff PLC is just a standard PC (in industrial casing) running Windows. Of course it depends on whether PLC is isolated or not, but if it's connected to company network then it should (from security perspective) be treated like all other devices. I've seen installations with Beckhoff PLCs running for years in a row without a single reboot. In combination with UWF you generally don't need to worry about what's happening with the disk (just make sure to apply the correct rules for the installed applications).

Hi! I have a couple of questions about the tasks in TwinCAT. 1. In you video, it is depicted that the PLC tasks is called and executed at every tick (1ms as an example of the Base time) and finishes within 1ms. Well up until the 4 tick since Task #2 took longer. However, I thought since the example cycle time of a PLC task is 10ms, it would instead run every 10 ticks if it finishes it within 1ms? 2. I was wondering if you happen to know what does the I/O Idle Task and PlcAux Task do in TwinCAT? I can't seem to find any info about this in their InfoSys website.

@discutiibiblice

Жыл бұрын

1. this is what I do: I imagine that Automation was created by Dutch people who worked on Windmills. You see windmills have been used to cut logs; there is big saw blade going up and down; whenever the blade goes down to cut a log that is a tick. That's how these people think and imagined the things: in ticks and tacts. A log (a task) need several ticks to be cut (finished). If you set a task to be run every 10 ms and it takes 1 ms to finish that means you put a log every 10 ms to be cut and each log takes 1 ms (1 saw going down) to be cut; in the meantime, even if the log is cut and discarded, the saw blade will continue to go up and down (ticks continue), regardless if you have a log or not. This task will still continue to execute every 10ms and it will check every 10ms if that flag variable (run only once bool) if it's true to run that message again. But it won't run the message; that part of the task is not executed though the variable is checked every 10ms.

@MaruhanPark

Жыл бұрын

I think his explanation was kind of misleading. As far as I understood, PLC tasks are only run during "base-time". And within the base-time, you can only use up to X% of it on PLC tasks (in the example 90%). Only one base-time is run per cycle time. Every tick is equivalent to the length of the base-time. All the remaining ticks within the cycle time that is not part of the base-time are used by the OS.
