TwinCAT 3 PLC HMI is a stand-alone client software for displaying the visualization integrated in the PLC project. It is automatically opened locally on the runtime device in full screen mode when the PLC project is started. Additional clients connected to the runtime device via ADS can be started on additional PCs, if required. In this way, for example, a multi-client scenario can be implemented with several simultaneously connected Panel PCs, each displaying its own visualization client. TwinCAT 3 PLC HMI product family The TwinCAT 3 PLC HMI TwinCAT function is part of the PLC HMI product family, which also includes the integrated visualization and TwinCAT 3 PLC HMI Web. All three versions are based on the same engineering concept. The integrated visualization can be used free of charge within the TwinCAT engineering environment, for example for system commissioning purposes. Both TwinCAT 3 PLC HMI and TwinCAT 3 PLC HMI Web can be activated additionally and can be used in parallel. All three versions therefore only require a one-time engineering effort. Graphical editor for easy configuration The graphical editor is integrated into the PLC project and provides simple, direct access to all PLC variables. Predefined visualization elements such as buttons, checkboxes and lamps are available in the toolbox. They can be placed on the visualization page via a drag-and-drop function. When the PLC project is activated, the visualization code derived from it is loaded into the runtime and executed there in real-time together with the PLC code. Basic functionality TwinCAT 3 PLC HMI and PLC HMI Web feature integrated user management, which can be used to restrict access to the entire visualization and to individual pages and functions. Access rights can be set for different user groups. Existing users can be changed or deleted at runtime, and new users can be added. By switching between entire visualization pages or the nested calling of visualization pages via frame elements, a navigation can be set up simply and flexibly in order to be able to visualize even complex plants and machines. A language switch is available to display texts in different languages at runtime. Unicode characters are also supported. The recipe management integrated in the PLC project can also be used in the visualization, so that recipe data can be graphically displayed, changed, saved and loaded into the runtime.
