Hello everyone!

I am very glad to visit this TwinCAT forum.

I am totally new in TwinCAT and Beckhoff PLCs but I have big experience with other classical PLC platforms like Siemens, Allen Bradley and Schneider Electric. My upcoming project will be on Beckhoff PLC: process control + sending data to the higher level system (via OPC UA and/or MQTT protocols). 

Could you please advise me where to find some first steps or quick start information for total newbies in Beckhoff and TwinCAT: how to configure hardware PLC and IO on EtherCAT in TwinCAT,  how to connect to PLC, download program and changes etc.?

Thanks in advance!

Best regards, Oleksandr.
