Support Questions / Re: Beckhoff Driver

Possibly a silly question, but why not use the ADS drivers already supplied if the person has TwinCAT currently installed and use your driver if no TwinCAT installed(Or just install TC CP).

I began making a driver with these dll's and have done a basic button however this was taking far to much time, but couldn't this be a solution for you?

On another note:
I will chat to some of the developers when I'm back in the office tomorrow to see if its possible to get some documentation on how to interface directly with the AMS router.

Support Questions / Beckhoff Driver

« on: August 15, 2013, 08:32:36 AM »

Hi.

Was creating my own DLL's for Beckhoff systems and came across the advanced HMI a while back and saw that it was not available due to licensing, but would like to use your HMI on my systems.
I require however the Beckhoff driver. I'll be using industrial PC's with TwinCAT installed and I see this is a restriction. I tested it anyway and checked the ADS monitor however your HMI hangs. Is there anyway around this as this would assist me with a lot of my projects and client projects? Why the restriction as this library is exactly what i was working towards.
Also I just started looking at your samples about a hour ago and was wondering if I could use your DLL's in my own C#/VB.net project in the future. If there is a cost involved this is ok as I don't want my toolbox and application cluttered with items I'm not using.
