Communicating to a DL05 PLC using a directNET library in C#

[jaiven05]

Hi,

I should let you know right off the back that I a brand new to programming in C#.

My objective in this project is to communicate to a DL05 PLC. I want to create a directNET library in C# in order to accomplish this task. From the DirectNET manual I found that In order to "Read Request" I need to first initiate request, define request, acknowledge receipt of data, finish. And in order to "Write Request" I need to initiate request, Defin Request, Transmit Data, and finish.

Now, my question is:

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.ComponentModel;

using System.Data;

using System.Drawing;

using System.Linq;

using System.Text;

using System.Windows.Forms;

using System.Net.Sockets;

using Modbus;

namespace Ethernet

{

public partial class Form1 : Form

{

public Form1()

{

InitializeComponent();

}

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

ushort[] clock4rmPLC = new ushort [7];

TcpClient Tcp = new TcpClient("192.168.1.100", 502 );

Modbus.Device.ModbusIpMaster myBus = Modbus.Device.ModbusIpMaster.CreateIp(Tcp);

// ushort[] = memory4rmPLC;

clock4rmPLC = myBus.ReadHoldingRegisters(4086, 7); //Converted Octal number to a Decimal number. Increment 4 points from 4086

}

private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

ushort[] clock4rmPLC = new ushort[7];

TcpClient Tcp = new TcpClient("192.168.1.100", 502);

Modbus.Device.ModbusIpMaster myBus = Modbus.Device.ModbusIpMaster.CreateIp(Tcp);

// ushort[] = memory4rmPLC;

clock4rmPLC = myBus.ReadHoldingRegisters(1024, 1); //Converted Octal number to a Decimal number. Using 1024 becuase it is the decimal value of octal 2000

}

}

}

Question:

Can the code I pasted in (which is used to connect to a DL06 PLC via Modbus library in C#) be used with slight modifications?

Advice is much appreciated!

Used with that?

With DL05? I have no idea... (I'm not familiar with their products and their protocols).

With Unitronics PLCs? I'm not sure....... but you have a communication driver/library that Unitronics wrote in order to communicate with their PLCs.

Its just modbus.
