ads-client

Communicate with a Beckhoff PLC or other devices that communicate with ADS. This client implementation builds on ads-proto

All ADS commands are supported. Additionally sumup commands for read and write are implemented. The sumup requests will bundle multiple read or write request into a single one reducing the traffic. It is also possible to create/customize requests manually and supply them to the request methode (request_example.rs).

All requests will return the complete response data. You may want to checkout ads-proto to get more information on this.

To get started i recommend checking out the examples. If you want to run the examples you will need a running TwinCat PLC or another ADS device and you probably want to customize the connection details and var names. If you want to connect to a TwinCat PLC that runs on a remote devive make sure you add a route on that device allowing you to connect.
