TwinCAT BSD
arrow_backTo the overviewThe TwinCAT/BSD Hypervisor is a system feature of the TwinCAT/BSD operating system from Beckhoff and enables the simultaneous execution of virtual machines and TwinCAT real-time applications on a Beckhoff Industrial PC.
Optimized integration of the hypervisor into the TwinCAT/BSD operating system and coordination of software and Industrial PC hardware enable maximum performance of virtual machines while maintaining TwinCAT real-time properties for machine control.
The TwinCAT/BSD Hypervisor benefits from the high performance and hardware-based virtualization technologies of modern Intel® and AMD CPUs in Beckhoff Industrial and Embedded PCs. The high-performance execution of virtual machines enables the strengths of different operating systems to be used on a Beckhoff Industrial PC and the security properties of the overall system to be improved by operating user environments in a modular and isolated manner.
