TwinCAT V3: Configuring octoplant

To work with BECKHOFF TwinCAT V3 in a octoplant environment, the following requirements must be met:

  • If you want to create a backup for each IPC without changing the AMS network configuration, you must install an agent on each of these IPCs. The IPC must be restarted after installation.
  • You need full access rights to the device (IPC) to configure the AMS Net route of the upload.

TwinCAT V3 can be used with octoplant in two ways

  1. TwinCAT V3 can be installed on the octoplant server. The octoplant server accesses the AMS network directly.
  2. A connection is established via agent to the IPC on which TwinCAT V3 is installed.
