Hello,
I use a Beckhoff PLC to control an industrial robot.
The CAD data come from a main computer which control the whole factory.
The main computer and the PLC are connected on the same network. I'd like to build a TCP/IP connection between them to get the CAD from this main computer (typicaly getting the data in a raw format, saving these in the PLC's memory and then do the process on the PLC).
Has someone already done that?
I saw somethings about ADS but I never used it, when I called Beckhoff they talked about an OPC-UA Module, but my team leader think they want to sell us that and we don't need it.
Is there a library to build the connection directly in Twincat?
As we have a Win7 on the PLC, maybe could we install a third part software to manage that but if we could make it directly in the PLC, it'd be better.
Thanks!
