Beckhoff ADS in go (golang)

[Jonathan Svensson-Köhler]

Hey guys!

I have started work on a ADS lib in go. You can find it here: https://github.com/stamp/goADS

Currently i have implemented the following:

• ReadDeviceInfo - ADS command 1
• Read - ADS command 2
• SymbolUpload (and structs)
• Read for uploaded symbols (you can read a whole struct at once)

If somebody is interested in helping out or how to use it. Please feel free to contact me or write your feedback here.

Here is an example

// Connect

    connection,e := goADS.Dial(*ip,*netid,*port)

    defer connection.Close(); // Close the connection when we are done

    if e != nil {

        logger.Critical(e)

        os.Exit(1)

    }

// Read device info

    data, e := connection.ReadDeviceInfo();

    if e != nil {

        log.Critical(e)

        os.Exit(1)

    }

    log.Infof("Successfully conncected to \"%s\" version %d.%d (build %d)", data.DeviceName, data.MajorVersion, data.MinorVersion, data.BuildVersion)

// Upload symbols and structs

    symbols,_ := connection.UploadSymbolInfo()

// Search for symbol

    pd,ok := symbols[".SYSTEMTASKINFOARR"]

// If we found it..

    if ok {

        // Read (and parse) values from plc

        pd.Read()

        // Print all values

        pd.Walk()

    }
