Motor control with visualization
Sample program (https://infosys.beckhoff.com/content/1033/el70x1/Resources/zip/3696560907.zip)
Used Master: TwinCAT 2.11 (for older versions the control loop has to be programmed manually; in this case
it is already implemented in the NC).
This application example demonstrates movement of a motor to any position or in continuous mode with the
aid of visualization. The velocity, the starting acceleration and the deceleration can be specified.
The sample program consists of 2 files (PLC file and System Manager file).
First open the PLC file and compile it so that you have the *.tpy file available that is required for the System
Manager.
Please note that you may have to adjust the target platform in the PLC program (default: PC or CX 8x86). If
required, you can select the right target platform in the Resources -> Controller configuration tab.

Please note the following for the System Manager file:
