Activating System NC PTP Module

There is a special operation in TwinCAT 2 called 'level-up'. That is for PLCs based on Windows CE or Windows Compact only. You take plain PLC, level-up it and get PLC with Numerical motion Control Point-To-Point.

You have to own license key for this special level-up utility. This job was made special for service engineers but you can do it by yourself. Anyway you will get this:

Sometimes, after level-upping NC branch may absent in System Manager configuration. I.e. PLC already can do but System Manager does not allow to configure it.

Actually, we have rised the reg level but forgot to load TwinCAT system module.

TwinCAT 2 is a module (or composite) system. It consist of several low level drivers for different subsystems: TcIo.sys, TcRouter.sys, TcRTime.sys, TcNc.sys... In the case of WinCE, drivers are already integrated into the PLC image. You just have to plug-in this drivers.

The list of loading modules is located at \Hard Disk\TwinCAT\DefaultConfig.xml. Open it and insert new xml-section with TCNC module. See next:

Then we restart the PLC and get the result. It became much better:
