Information

Introduction

This is a simple package to connect Dymola/Modelica to a Beckhoff PLC via the proprietary C API and the ADS protocol provided by Beckhoff (c).

The functions used to perform the communication are derived from the functions documented by Beckhoff. A complete documentation and additional functions are provided here: Beckhoff infosys documentation
