To meet the high demands on building auto-
mation such as convenience, energy savings,
low investment and operating costs, and a
rapid return on investment, you must have
a thoroughly coordinated control system
for all the technical components of a build-
ing. With TwinCAT Building Automation,
Beckhoff has developed a software product
that reduces the engineering effort and
integrates all major components of a modern
building automation system. Extensive soft-
ware libraries and supplements extend the
concept of the modular range of automation
components from Beckhoff to the software
level.
The new suite comprises essentially
three basic functions:
1. TwinCAT BA PLC Libraries:
Basic functions for all systems
2. TwinCAT BA PLC Templates:
Templates for all systems
3. TwinCAT BA Project Builder:
Confi guration tool for linking templates,
hardware and BACnet objects
TwinCAT BA PLC Libraries
The TwinCAT BA PLC Libraries provide the
system integrator with established and tested
building blocks, such as basic functions in the
areas of closed-loop control, signal process-
ing, special mathematical functions, fault sig-
nal processing and general system functions.
TwinCAT BA PLC Templates
The TwinCAT BA PLC templates are complete
TwinCAT program blocks for sensors and
actuators, complete modules, as well as par-
tial and whole systems in the areas of HVAC
and room automation. Unlike conventional
PLC libraries, the TwinCAT BA PLC Templates
are imported into the PLC programs as whole
modules, which the system integrator can
then modify as needed. They can also create
their own TwinCAT BA PLC templates.
TwinCAT BA Project Builder
Having a consistent TwinCAT project fi le
structure is a prerequisite for proper plant
maintenance. The central underlying idea is
the component identifi cation system, which
assigns a name to each data point and pro-
gram module in accordance with defi ned
rules. The TwinCAT BA Project Builder auto-
matically generates for all Beckhoff control-
lers the project fi les for TwinCAT PLC Control
functions and the TwinCAT System Manager.
It can be expanded with custom PLC tem-
plates for full engineering fl exibility, while
special add-ins let you integrate planning
resources (for example, Excel lists) as well as
visualisation systems. An open add-in inter-
face allows you to integrate planning tools,
import Excel lists from TRIC (MSR Software),
or connect visualisation systems.
