Beckhoff’s TF3820 | TwinCAT 3 Machine Learning Server

Beckhoff’s TF3820 | TwinCAT 3 Machine Learning Server

 

Beckhoff offers a solution for machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) that is seamlessly integrated in TwinCAT 3. The TF3820 TwinCAT 3 Machine Learning Server is a high-performance execution module (inference engine) for trained ML and DL models. The inference engine is programmed classically in the PLC. From here, models can be loaded, the running hardware can be configured, and the inference executed. The model runs in an independent process of the operating system. There are almost no restrictions when it comes to the ML and DL models. From clustering models to image classification and object detection, the possibilities in the choice of models are extremely diverse.

Programmable LINARIX: Simple Linear Position Measurement from POSITAL

Programmable LINARIX: Simple Linear Position Measurement from POSITAL

 

POSITAL’s programmable draw wire encoders simplify your linear position measurement. Not only can the user define their own draw wire output (i.e., 0-10V at 0 to 5m or 0 to 4.252m) to match their application, they can also reconfigure certain programmable parameters. Machines and needs may evolve over the time. That’s why POSITAL has extended the functionality of the UBIFAST configuration tool.
