How to Install and Use Beckhoff TwinCAT 3.0 R2.x32 on a Raspberry Pi
Beckhoff TwinCAT 3.0 R2.x32 is a software system that turns any compatible PC into a real-time controller with a multi-PLC system, NC axis control, programming environment and operating station. It is based on the open, compatible PC hardware and the embedded IEC 61131-3 software PLC, software NC and software CNC in one package[^1^].
In this article, we will show you how to install and use Beckhoff TwinCAT 3.0 R2.x32 on a Raspberry Pi, which is a low-cost, credit-card-sized computer that can run various operating systems. The Raspberry Pi can be connected to the TwinCAT RTC Server via TCP/IP and act as a remote PLC device[^2^].

Step 1: Download and Install TwinCAT 3.0 R2.x32 on a Windows PC
The first step is to download and install TwinCAT 3.0 R2.x32 on a Windows PC that will act as the TwinCAT RTC Server. You can download it from the Beckhoff website under Download -> TwinCAT 3 -> Software -> TwinCAT 3.0 R2.x32[^1^]. After downloading, run the file TwinCATRTC.exe and follow the installation instructions.
After installation, you will get a message \"Software is running as a 32-bit process. Do you want to change? Yes/No\". This is just a warning that you can ignore. Next, you have to set up a resource file TwinCATRTCRES.exe that contains the settings needed for running as a 32-bit process. You can find this file in the installation folder of TwinCAT 3.0 R2.x32.
Step 2: Configure the Network Preferences
The next step is to configure the network preferences for the TwinCAT RTC Server. For this, you have to type Ctrl+N on your keyboard to open the Preferences menu. Then, select Network Preferences and edit the network properties according to your network configuration. You have to restart your PC to load the new settings.
To check if you are connected properly, you can use an XNetController on Windows that can communicate with other devices via TCP/IP. You can download it from the Beckhoff website under Download -> TwinCAT 3 -> Software -> XNetController[^1^]. After installing it, run it and enter the IP address of your TwinCAT RTC Server. You should see a green light indicating that you are connected.
Step 3: Install and Start TwinCAT X86.exe
The next step is to install and start TwinCAT X86.exe, which is a special 32-bit version of the C/C++ compiler that corresponds to the IEC 61131-3 standard. You can download it from the Beckhoff website under Download -> TwinCAT 2 -> Software -> TwinCAT X86[^1^]. After downloading, run it and follow the installation instructions.
After installing, run TwinCAT X86.exe and switch it on by clicking on the icon in the system tray. You should see a blue light indicating that it is running.
Step 4: Install and Start TwinCAT RTC Client on a Virtual Machine
The next step is to install and start TwinCAT RTC Client on a virtual machine (VM) that will act as a remote PLC device. You can use any VM software that supports Windows XP or higher, such as VirtualBox or VMware. You have to create a new VM with at least 512 MB of RAM and 10 GB of disk space.
After creating the VM, you have to install Windows XP or higher on it and then install TwinCAT RTC Client for the VM. You can download it from the Beckhoff website under Download -> TwinCAT 3 -> Software -> TwinCAT RTC Client[^1^]. After downloading, run it and follow the installation instructions.
After installing, run TwinCAT RTC Client on the VM and enter the IP address of your TwinCAT RTC Server. You should see a green light indicating that you are connected.
