TE3850 | TwinCAT 3 Machine Learning Creator by Beckhoff


TE3850 | TwinCAT 3 Machine Learning Creator:

A recent Beckhoff article introduces the TwinCAT 3 Machine Learning Creator. This tool auto-generates AI models from data sets, optimized for accuracy and latency, ensuring efficient operation on Beckhoff Industrial PCs. The models can be used as standardized ONNX models, extending their use beyond Beckhoff products. For TwinCAT use, a PLCopen XML with IEC 61131-3 code is generated, describing the AI pipeline for easy import into TwinCAT.

The platform’s no-code development allows non-AI experts to develop quality AI applications efficiently. It automates AI development processes, standardizes AI model creation, and uses advanced AI methods from AutoML.

The tool provides methods for displaying AI model behavior and comparing models. It also supports auditing processes for AI model creation with automated report generation.

Linux-based real-time control with TwinCAT by Beckhoff


Linux-based real-time control with TwinCAT:

In a recent article from Beckhoff, it was highlighted that the introduction of the TwinCAT Runtime for Linux® is set to open up new application possibilities for real-time control. This development allows for the execution of several TwinCAT Runtimes on a single industrial PC, a first in the industry. This advancement enables users to consolidate different system parts on one large computer, thereby optimizing computing resources. Additionally, accessing a GPU (graphics card) from the real-time environment will now be feasible, providing a hardware acceleration option for particularly computing-intensive applications such as vision processing.

The TwinCAT Runtime for Linux® is built on Beckhoff’s proprietary Linux® distribution, which broadens the choice of operating systems beyond Windows and TwinCAT/BSD. This distribution, created using the free Debian operating system, includes a Linux® real-time kernel as standard for executing the runtime in real time. Moreover, the Debian package system simplifies the installation of additional software. Initially, the new CX82x0 and CX9240 ARM-based Embedded PCs will be available with the Linux® runtime. Subsequently, the Beckhoff Linux® distribution will be gradually introduced for all other industrial and embedded PCs.

Why Choose An On-machine Solution? by Rockwell Automation


Why Choose An On-machine Solution?:

In a recent article from Rockwell Automation, it was highlighted that an On-Machine™ solution offers a decentralized equipment design approach, helping to overcome challenges associated with cabinet-based solutions for end users.

This approach aims to meet aggressive timelines, decrease installation costs, reduce exposure to risk, and increase system value. By adopting a simpler, more modular approach to machine design, total costs can be lowered, floor space saved, and deployment time minimized. Quick connect technology further speeds up design installation and maintenance, improving productivity and flexibility, while the environmental robustness of On-Machine solutions helps reduce the risk of failure.
