Question concerning WAGO controller 750-363

[Nolann Lainé]

Hello everyone,

I am new to the world of automation and would appreciate your advice on whether libplctag is the right tool for my needs.

I have a Wago 750-363 Ethernet/IP controller with I/O modules connected, primarily consisting of push buttons and LEDs. I need a C++ Ethernet/IP scanner to read the states of the push buttons from a host computer running Linux. Based on variables on the host computer, I also need to control the LEDs connected to the output module of the Wago controller, which requires writing values as well.

I need a real-time application and, for this purpose, I would like to use implicit communication.

I have found two libraries for my application:

• EIPScanner
• libplctag

libplctag has a great community and is still evolving, but I am not sure if it can achieve what I need. Based on your knowledge of libplctag, do you think it would meet my requirements? 

Thank you for your help!

Thanks for looking at libplctag.   The library does not support implicit communication at this time.  

If you do not have many tags to read and write, then explicit comms may still be fine.  You do need to have a fast network.

Best,
