Industrial automation using PC-based control is insanely fun! At my first job where they used “this thing called TwinCAT” (which was unknown to me at that time), I did what I usually do: I started googling stuff like “free TwinCAT tutorial, how to program with TwinCAT, free TwinCAT course, TwinCAT open source” and so forth. Now that I've dabbled in "traditional IT" software development and industrial automation software development, I definitely don't agree with the latter being boring. I had two friends which previously were doing a little automation, and both of them said “Don’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.
