README
This library is intended to provide easy use as ADS client applications running on non-windows systems (e.g. FreeBSD, Linux, ...) to communicate with TwinCAT devices via TCP/IP.
To build this library a recent compiler with C++14 support is required.
Currently (2024-12-13) tested with:
===================================
host os | host | target| compiler
-----------|-------|-------|-------------
Alpine 3.21| amd64 | amd64 | gcc 14.2.0
Arch Linux | amd64 | amd64 | clang 18.1.8
Arch Linux | amd64 | amd64 | gcc 14.2.1
Debian 12 | amd64 | amd64 | clang 14.0.6
Debian 12 | amd64 | amd64 | gcc 12.2.0-14
Debian 12 | amd64 | i686 | gcc 12.2.0-14
Debian 12 | amd64 | mips | gcc 12.2.0-14
Debian 12 | amd64 | win32 | gcc 10.2.1-6
Debian 12 | amd64 |riscv64| gcc 12.2.0-13
Debian 12 | arm64 | arm64 | gcc 12.2.0-14
TC/BSD 14 | amd64 | amd64 | clang 18.1.5
Windows 10 | amd64 | win64 | msvc 19.36.33134
Compile & usage
===============
```shell
# clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/Beckhoff/ADS.git
# change into root of the cloned repository
cd ADS
# configure meson to build the library into "build" dir
meson setup build
# let ninja build the library
ninja -C build
```
Prepare your target to run the example
======================================
- Download your PLC project to your target e.g. "PLC-TestProject" of our GitHub repository.
- Authorise your ADS client for the TwinCAT target by adding an AMS route.
- TwinCAT Engineering:
Go to the tree item SYSTEM/Routes and add a static route.
- TwinCAT Systray:
Open the context menue by right click the TwinCAT systray icon. (not available on Windows CE devices)
- TC2:
Go to Properties/AMS Router/Remote Computers and restart TwinCAT
- TC3:
Go to Router/Edit routes.
- TcAmsRemoteMgr:
Windows CE devices can be configured locally (TC2 requires a TwinCAT restart). Tool location: `/Hard Disk/System/TcAmsRemoteMgr.exe`
- IPC Diagnose:
Beckhoff IPC’s provide a web interface for diagnose and configuration. Further information: http://infosys.beckhoff.de/content/1033/devicemanager/index.html?id=286
Sample AMS route:
```
Name: MyAdsClient
AMS Net Id: 192.168.0.1.1.1 # NetId of your ADS client, derived from its IP address or set by bhf::ads:SetLocalAdress().
Address: 192.168.0.1 # Use the IP of the ADS client, which is connected to your TwinCAT target
Transport Type: TCP/IP
Remote Route: None / Server
Unidirectional: false
Secure ADS: false
```
Prepare your client to run the example/example.cpp
==================================================
- set "remoteNetId" to the AMS NetId of your TwinCAT target (this is the AMS NetId found in the "About TwinCAT System window" e.g. "192.168.0.2.1.1").
- set "remoteIpV4" to the IP Address of your TwinCAT target (e.g. 192.168.0.2)
- (optional) enable bhf::ads::SetLocalAddress() and set to the AMS NetId you choose for the ADS client (e.g. 192.168.0.1.1.1).
```shell
# configure meson to build example into "build" dir
meson example/build example
# let ninja build the example
ninja -C example/build
# and run the example
./example/build/example
```
