TWINCAT MC3: REDEFINING MOTION CONTROL FOR THE FUTURE

Beckhoff's new-generation motion control system offers a modular architecture, multi-core and multi-task support, and seamless integration, ensuring future-proof solutions for diverse motion applications.

Beckhoff has introduced TwinCAT MC3, a next-generation motion control system designed to push the boundaries of automation. With its modular architecture and cutting-edge features like multi-core and multitask support, TwinCAT MC3 builds on the success of its predecessor, TwinCAT NC2, and promises seamless integration with future motion requirements.

Motion control has been a cornerstone of Beckhoff's automation solutions since the launch of TwinCAT in 1996. TwinCAT NC2, known for its robust design and reliability, laid the groundwork by abstracting axes into programmable objects. This abstraction allowed users to simulate and program axes independently of hardware while supporting a wide range of functionalities, from basic single-axis movements to complex path planning.

A MODULAR AND ADVANCED ARCHITECTURE

TwinCAT MC3 retains the strengths of its predecessor while introducing a range of advancements. Its modular architecture enables multi-core and multitask support, allowing synchronised movements across processor cores and eliminating previous limitations on the number of axes. This scalability empowers users to handle more complex applications efficiently.
