All you need is a computer with the TwinCAT 3 development environment and runtime (free from Beckhoff, although unfortunately you have to register at their website to download it), then you can start to watch, listen & learn. ItвЂ™s available on YouTube, so no registration, no region limitations, and zero cost. When creating the content of this tutorial, the ambition was that it should be the tutorial that I wish I had when I started with TwinCAT 3 development. If I want to learn a new programming language, IвЂ™d like to be able to start quickly (kudos to Beckhoff for having a cost-free development environment and runtime making this possible) and just start to hack. If I want to learn Python, C++, C#/.NET, windows batch-scripting ( рџ™‚ ) or any вЂњconventional ITвЂќ programming language, there are tons of free information on the Internet available. This means that the learning curve will be slightly steeper for learning TwinCAT.

the tutorials are available only in a specific country/region or.

When I started out and was trying to look for resources to get me a kick-start, I quickly found out that theВ learning material ecosystem for PLCs/automation mostly had these limitations: For these reasons, I decided to do a free TwinCAT 3 tutorial.

After having my TwinCAT blog for a few years, I even got an (anonymous) message via the contact form on my blog from someone saying that IвЂ™m an idiot that shares information and knowledge for free, and that nothing should be done for free and that I should basically stop writing my blog. The amount of free resources was very limited. I didnвЂ™t find much on Google or in any other of the places I usually used to learn a new programming language (forums, stack overflow, open source projects, etc).

Industrial automation using PC-based control is insanely fun! At my first job where they used вЂњthis thing called TwinCATвЂќ (which was unknown to me at that time), I did what I usually do: I started googling stuff like вЂњfree TwinCAT tutorial, how to program with TwinCAT, free TwinCAT course, TwinCAT open sourceвЂќ and so forth. Now that IвЂ™ve dabbled in вЂњtraditional ITвЂќ software development and industrial automation software development, I definitely donвЂ™t agree with the latter being boring. I had two friends which previously were doing a little automation, and both of them said вЂњDonвЂ™t start working with PLCs. My background was not even close to automation, mostly doing C/C++ on various Linux-based systems. When I started out with TwinCAT programming some time ago, I had basically not heard about PLCs.
