Machine Learning

▤ Summary

Beckhoff now offers a machine learning (ML) solution that is seamlessly integrated into TwinCAT 3. Building on established standards, it brings to ML applications the advantages of system openness familiar from PC-based control. In addition, the TwinCAT solution supports machine learning in real time, allowing it to handle demanding tasks like complex motion control. The fundamental idea with machine learning is to no longer follow the classic engineering route of designing solutions for specific tasks and then turning these solutions into algorithms, but to enable the desired algorithms to be learned from model process data instead. A trained model can be easily imported into the TwinCAT runtime in a standardised format (ONNX).
