Description

The package 'Beckhoff.TwinCAT.Ads.AdsRouterConsole' contains a lean TCP ADS Router as binary. It is a simple console application 'ready-to-run'.

It can be used in scenarios where no standard TwinCAT router is established or available and is running in UserMode only (no realtime characteristics) and contains no further functionality than distributing the ADS Frames (e.g. no Port 10000, no ADS Secure). It is just used to route ADS frames locally between AdsServers and to/from remote ADS devices.

Requirements

.NET Core 3.0, .NET Framework 4.8 or .NET Standard 2.0 installed on the machine.
No other System allocating the same port (e.g. a regular TwinCAT installation)

Installation

dotnet add package Beckhoff.TwinCAt.Ads.AdsRouterConsole

This will install the AdsRouterConsole application. For the .NET FullFramework (Version 4.8) the package contains the TwinCAT.Ads.AdsRouterConsole.exe which acts as Console application directly. For other platforms (.NET Core and .NET Standard) it contains the TwinCAT.Ads.AdsRouterConsole.dll which is indirectly started by the .NET CLI:

Together with the package deployment, there comes a "StaticRoutes.xml" file. This file is loaded Router and must contain the Local AmsNetId (can be chosen, but must be unique) and the RemoteConnections that will be available from the outside.

An example of the local "StaticRoutes.xml" is given here:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TcConfig xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="C:\TwinCAT3\Config\TcConfig.xsd">
  <Local>
      <Name>MyLocalSystem</Name>
      <NetId>192.168.1.22.1.1</NetId> 
  </Local>
  <RemoteConnections>
    <Route>
      <Name>MyRemoteSystem</Name>
      <Address>RemoteSytem</Address> 
       
      <NetId>192.168.1.21.1.1</NetId>
      <Type>TCP_IP</Type>
    </Route>
  </RemoteConnections>
</TcConfig>

This file must be edited to configure the ADS Router. It is not reloaded during the runtime of the AdsRouterConsole.

To enable ADS Communication, the following settings have to be made:

Select the Local AmsNetId and the Route Name of the System in the local "StaticRoutes.xml"
Add Remote Connections to the local StaticRoutes
Add the "Backroute" from the Remote system linking to the our system (via AmsNETId) running the AdsRouteConsole. This can be done via SystemManager / SystemService System Tray or 'StaticRoutes.xml' on the remote systems.
