SLMP is a protocol used for access from an external device to an SLMP-compatible device through the Ethernet. SLMP communications are available among devices that can transfer messages by SLMP. (personal computers, human machine interface and others.)
This project implements a client library that supports a subset of the functionality described in the SLMP reference manual, mainly regarding reading from and writing to Device
s.
Currently supported devices:
- D, W, R, Z, ZR, SD
- X, Y, M, L, F, V, B, SM
Keep in mind that some of these devices might not be available for use on your targeted SLMP-compatible device.
SlmpConfig cfg = new SlmpConfig("192.168.3.39", 6000) {
ConnTimeout = 1000,
RecvTimeout = 1000,
SendTimeout = 1000,
};
SlmpClient plc = new SlmpClient(cfg);
plc.Connect();
plc.Disconnect();
There are a couple of ways to describe a read/write operation, you can either describe the target device with a string, e.g, "D200", "M200", "SD0"
or directly with the Device
enum. See the method prototypes below to get an idea of how the API operates.
bool ReadBitDevice(string addr)
bool ReadBitDevice(Device device, ushort addr)

ushort ReadWordDevice(string addr)
ushort ReadWordDevice(Device device, ushort addr)
ushort[] ReadWordDevice(string addr, ushort count)

}

// or
plc.ReadStruct<ExampleStruct>(Device.D, 200);
