The complete parameterisation is done in the TwinCAT System Manager. The package supports different parallel and serial kinematic systems, as used for e.g. pick-and-place tasks. The supplement is based on TwinCAT NC I for interpolating movements and G-Code (DIN 66025). In addition, standard PTP and cam plate applications can be realised. Programming is usually based on the Cartesian coordinate system, with the control system calculating the inverse kinematics for the relevant motor positions. TwinCAT Kinematic Transformation is optimised for the Beckhoff AX5000 drive series.
