Beckhoff TwinCAT IoT Communicator Overview
TwinCAT IoT Communicator links a TwinCAT application with mobile visualization and messaging through an MQTT broker. TF6730 identifies the TwinCAT function and PLC-library side; TF6735 identifies the mobile app, so the two should not be treated as the same license or component.
