Daniel,

 

I assume you mean TwinCAT PLC runtime on the CX9020?  Do you have the optional Modbus TCP interface from Beckhoff?

 

The other alternative is the TwinCAT ADS communication interface.  I believe LIGO have a TwinCAT-EPICS interface using the ADS interface:

 

https://dcc.ligo.org/LIGO-T1300690/public

 

Investigating the most effective and reliable integration method for Beckhoff TwinCAT 3 PLC runtime into EPICS is something on our TODO list here at Daresbury.  Whilst it’s on the list we haven’t yet got around to trying the Modbus interface or the ADS interface with EPICS.  We have motion control and RF modulator systems which we intend to integrate in this manner.

Hi All,

I have to connect a CX9020 Beckhoff PLC to EPICS. Does anyone have a suggestion to do this.

Thanks in advance.
