TF5310 | TwinCAT 3 CNC HMI BaseNew

Beckhoff has an attractive software package for creating advanced and intuitive human-machine interfaces for CNC-controlled machines: the TF5310 TwinCAT 3 CNC HMI Base library. It is based entirely on the TF2000 TwinCAT 3 HMI Server and therefore integrates seamlessly into the TwinCAT HMI product family.

A wide range of technology-specific controls is included, e.g:

• axis display
• spindle and speed override
• jog and inching functions
• contour editor
• tool data and zero offset table

The included G-Code editor supports cycle-based CNC programming in conjunction with the following cycle products: TF5225, TF5245, and TF5293. The package also includes a soft keypad (MCP) that can be configured during runtime.

Integration into real time is achieved via a dedicated TwinCAT HMI server extension. It aggregates data from TwinCAT PLC and CNC into a common data model and makes it available to the client components.

TwinCAT 3 CNC HMI Base allows user interfaces to be designed freely, taking customer-specific design rules into account. Ready-to-use templates are also available to facilitate the engineering process.
