TE3520 | TwinCAT 3 Analytics Service Tool

The TwinCAT 3 Analytics Service Tool is a TwinCAT 3 engineering product for the evaluation of live and/or historicized data. The data can come from various applications such as machines, buildings, or energy systems, for example. The configuration of the Service Tool is integrated into Microsoft Visual Studio and is designed as a graphical user interface. Many algorithms for configuring the analysis are available in a toolbox:

• cycle time monitoring
• statistics (min/max/avg, standard deviation, OEE, etc.)
• correlation functions
• regressions
• digital filter functions
• frequency analyses/order analyses
• evaluation of harmonics in the network
• image data processing
• weight measurement
• and others

For simple visualization of the signal curves, the TwinCAT 3 Analytics Service Tool contains the TE1300 TwinCAT 3 Scope View Professional: the user can drag and drop the analysis results from the Analytics Configurator into the charting tool to mark significant points in the data stream. These markings can be simple minima and maxima, counter values or also the results of a logic operator that logically combines events from the machine controller so that they can be found in the data stream. This allows correlation with other signals in the Scope View to the exact cycle.

Various data sources such as ADS, MQTT, Analytics Storage Provider, Analytics Logger files, or Scope View data make the Service Tool very versatile and allow it to be used from different locations.

Product licenses already included:

• TE1300 | TwinCAT 3 Scope View Professional
• TF3300 | TwinCAT 3 Scope Server

The functionalities of the Service Tool are also included in TE3500 TwinCAT 3 Analytics Workbench and in the products of the TE351x series. However, rather than working with the full range of algorithms, the latter are specifically intended for certain groups of algorithms – for vision, condition monitoring, or energy data evaluation, for example. Further information can be found on the TwinCAT Analytics highlights page and on the measurement and testing technology industry page.
