TwinCAT V2: Configuring versiondog

To work with BECKHOFF TwinCAT V2 in a versiondog environment, some requirements must be met:

  • You must have access to a licensed BECKHOFF TwinCAT editor and connect it to your system.
  • If you want your versiondog server to perform all uploads, all standard libraries must be installed on the computer on which the server is also installed in the following folder: C:\TwinCAT\Plc\Lib .
  • 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.
  • To configure the AMS Net route of the upload, you need full access rights on the IPC.

TwinCAT V2 can be used with versiondog in two ways

  1. The TwinCAT System Manager can be installed on the versiondog server. The server communicates directly with the IPC.
  2. A connection is established via agent to the IPC on which the TwinCAT System Manager is installed.
