Installation

Installing TcEventVideoPlayback

Download and run TcEventVideoPlayback.msi on both the Engineering and Runtime systems. See details below.

There are four different parts of the project that are installed by default:

TwinCAT PLC Libraries

Installs the required SPT_Base, SPT_Event_Logger, and SPT_Vision libraries to hard disk and imports them into the PLC library repository

TwinCAT HMI Control

Installs the EventVideo HMI Control for playback of videos inside Tc HMI

TwinCAT Sample Projects

Installs the Quick Start sample projects. Located at TwinCAT\Functions\TcEventVideoPlayback.

TcEventVideoPlayback Windows Service

Installs the Windows Background Worker service for converting images to video files and storing locally

Installing Runtime Only

This is what you would select for a TwinCAT XAR only system. Only the service is required to be installed and it will run in the background.
