The C6670 features two Intel® Xeon® packages, each offering 6, 12, or 18 cores and from 64 to 2,048 GB of RAM. TwinCAT 3.1 software is capable of mapping the various machine and process workflows, making it ideal for parallelization and distribution of different tasks as function modules.
With TwinCAT, users can implement individual automation tasks in the form of modules. Written in PLC or C++ code, these machine modules are assigned to individual tasks within the TwinCAT system and executed in user-defined cycles. The tasks can then be simply distributed over the real-time cores.
Since TwinCAT 3.1 was designed as a future-proof solution to run on PC-based hardware with up to 256 processor cores, it offers the ability to run automation applications on the complete spectrum of available processors now and into the future. Depending on the amount of computing performance needed, the system designer can configure the appropriate number of cores for the respective real-time applications.
