Libraries, HMI Controls and Frameworks for TwinCat

AutoLab is committed to cutting-edge software development in the field of PLC programming, combining innovation with practical relevance. As a certified Beckhoff Solution Partner, we bring deep expertise in TwinCAT technologies to the table. In this context, we develop our own modular libraries, HMI framework controls, and complete application frameworks from the ground up.

We offer a range of TwinCAT libraries under OEM license, including solutions for plug-and-play implementation of Pack-ML, finite state machines, input monitoring, process data acquisition, as well as advanced error management and database integration.

Utilities Library

The AutoLab Utility Library enables seamless integration of all PLC inputs and outputs, including their visualization and control via the HMI – in under five minutes, thanks to the AutoLab Standard Framework Controls.

Included Features:

  • Fast and easy integration of all PLC inputs and outputs – a single embedding is all it takes to make everything available in the HMI
  • Manual control of outputs with optional user restrictions
  • Automatic alarm triggering and warning messages for monitored inputs
  • Automatic event logging based on input values
Maximum control with minimal effort: The AutoLab Utility Library lets you manage your PLC I/Os easily and efficiently.

AutoLab PackML and Finite State Machine (FSM) Library

The AutoLab PackML and Finite State Machine (FSM) Library is the easiest way to integrate PackML into your projects – plug & play. In other words: Configure instead of program!

Included Features:

  • Overview display of all PackML and Finite State Machine (FSM) units
  • Advanced commands and control for PackML units and FSM
  • Logging of all status changes for PackML units and FSM
  • Automatic saving of all states and history lists in case of errors
  • One-click configuration of all sub-units (the parent unit automatically propagates all PackML commands)
  • Easy activation and deactivation of units

Maximum control with minimal effort: With the AutoLab PackML and Finite State Machine (FSM) Library, managing your PackML units and FSMs has never been easier!

AutoLab Process Data Library

The AutoLab Process Data Library simplifies the integration of part and tray tracking. It significantly eases the management of test results, especially for complex test evaluations. Moreover, it enables easy creation of statistics and cycle time analyses with just a mouse click, allowing comprehensive statistical reports to be generated within minutes.

Included Features:

  • Seamless Integration of part and tray tracking logic into automated systems
  • Effortless management of test results, even in complex testing environments
  • Automatic collection of test data, including results and process parameters
  • Automatic saving of all states and history lists in case of errors
  • Real-time calculation of moving averages for cycle times and performance metrics
  • One-click statistical analysis delivering valuable insights within minutes

With the AutoLab Process Data Library, you maintain full control over part tracking, test results, and performance analyses – making the management of complex data effortless.
