Hi, I have setup consisting of Pc with Windows 11, VM on that pc running Windows 7 32 bit and also a router and a PLC running windows 7 embeded 32 bit

I want to make a separate network for virtual machine and plc so I can develop on my pc. I want to make them separate so there is no internet connection since they run an older vulnerable system. The only issue is I have 1 RJ port in my pc so I was wondering if I can just connect the plc to the router and put it into separate network and do the same to the virtual machine system.

Hi, if I wanted to install twincat 3 on beckhoff cx2020, is it as simple as uninstalling twincat 2, deleting twincat folder and installing twincat 3 from an installer ?

The plc I have runs windows 7 embeded 32 bit, 2Gb ram, 1.4 Ghz processor, I will use twincat 3 on my laptop to program, set up things etc, just want to know if this plc can handle twincat 3 runtime.

Hi, I managed to get 2 .tib files necessary to reset my beckhoff plc to factory settings, but I am a little confused about the beckhoff service tool needed to do the procedure.

From what I understand, it's a physical tool that I can get from beckhoff, but is there a way to create my own recovery tool with a pendrive ? Or am I forced to buy one from beckhoff ?
