Is it possible to use Bechoff's C# library to connect to PLC from a windows machine without XAR/XAE installed ? Similar to what you can do with C++ example. I am keep getting

Exception thrown: 'TwinCAT.Ads.Server.LoopbackNotRegisteredException' in TwinCAT.Ads.Server.dll

when I try this despite adding route on PLC to my laptop's local IP address.

I am following this YT tutorial : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZChSdU2LMc

from this nuget source it seems that you can:

Install the 'Beckhoff.TwinCAT.Ads.AdsRouterConsole' package from Nuget.org

Disclaimer:

This will only work for

TwinCAT Version >= 4024.10

  • well it still means I need to install "something" on that machine which is not always possible. It's not required with their C++ example so there's clearly something missing in C# libraries... – Arkadiusz Rycyk Sep 13 '22 at 14:28
