Ethernet X001 Interface
CX809058 Version: 1.7
ADS-DLL
You can link the ADS-DLL (DLL: Dynamic Link Library) into your C program.
OPC
The OPC interface is a standardized interface for communication used in automation engineering. Beckhoff
offer an OPC server for this purpose.
Protocol
The ADS functions provide a method for accessing the Bus Coupler information directly from the PC. ADS
function blocks can be used in TwinCAT PLC Control for this. The function blocks are contained in the
PLCSystem.lib library. It is also equally possible to call the ADS functions from AdsOCX, ADSDLL or OPC.
AMSNetID
The AMSNetID provides a reference to the device that is to be addressed. This is taken from the MAC
address of the first Ethernet port (X001) and is printed on the side of the CX80xx. For the AMSNetID the
bytes 3 to 6 plus ".1.1" are typically used.
Example:
MAC address 00-01-05-01-02-03
AMSNetID 5.1.2.3.1.1
Port number
The port number distinguishes sub-elements in the connected device.
Port 801: local process data PLC runtime 1
Index group
The index group distinguishes different data within a port.
Index offset
Indicates the offset, the byte from which reading or writing is to start.
Len
Gives the length of the data, in bytes, that is to be read or written.
TCP port number
The TCP port number for the ADS protocol is 48898 or 0xBF02.
