ADS Client

An asynchronous, non-blocking ADS client for communication with Beckhoff controller. This ADS client implementation requires the presence of a TC1000 ADS router on the system.

Examples

The ADS client requires the presence of the tokio runtime. The examples denoted with _async are called from a main function denoted with with tokios #[tokio::main] macro which causes the provision of the runtime. The examples without _async provides the runtime manually.

The provided examples rely on the related TwinCAT 3 project in TC3_Sample_Project. The AmsNetId of the target system in the examples must be adapted accordingly.

Build and execute the examples with cargo run --example <example-name>.

Following examples are available:

• notification
• notification_async
• read_state
• read_state_async
• read_symbol
• read_symbol_async
• read_symbol_async_inf
• write_symbol
• write_symbol_async
• write_control
• write_control_async
• read_device_info
• read_device_info_async
