What is TwinCAT?
TwinCAT (The Windows Control and Automation Technology) is a software system from Beckhoff Automation that turns almost any PC-based system into a real-time controller with a multi-PLC system, NC/CNC, robotics, and HMI functionality. It's commonly used in industrial automation for machine control, robotics, and system integration, providing a unified environment for PLC, motion control, and HMI development.
