TwinCAT Scope: Increased performance via multi-core technology

Especially against the background of Industry 4.0 and “Big Data”, advanced data acquisition for machines is no longer an issue

just for test bench operators. More and more production machines require reliable data acquisition over the entire lifecycle of the

machine: data is collected during commissioning for setting and optimizing the machine, during production in the plant, and for

condition monitoring systems in order to increase machine availability.

In terms of requirements, there are virtually no differences between the engineering phase and service operation. As a basic rule,

data must be presented in the right sequence, with maximum performance, and in a clear and transparent manner. The integration

of a charting tool into the development environment for machine software is therefore essential to achieve maximum engineering

performance. The TwinCAT Scope meets all these requirements, and has been further optimized with regard to the representation

of multiple channels.
