PRZOOM - /newswire/ - Exeter, Devon, United Kingdom, 2009/06/30 - KineticaRT has started a TwinCAT Developers group on the professional networking website Linkedin to provide a forum for all levels of Beckhoff TwinCAT PLC developers to discuss programming and system engineering issues, problems and solutions.

KineticaRT has been developing solutions using TwinCAT for several years and it would have been great, during that time, to have been able to share our problems with others. Support from Beckhoff and their in-county agent was excellent, but some of our problems might have been solved more quickly or elegantly based on peer knowledge.
