Replacing the NET.LOGIX InGear Driver with libplctag.NET
ReadWith the discontinuation of the NET.LOGIX driver, DMC recommends using libplctag.NET for .NET applications to communicate with Allen-Bradley PLCs. This open-source alternative supports EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP and offers robust documentation for developers. It is lightweight and high-performance, making it a cost-effective solution for PLC communication.
Key takeaways
- –libplctag.NET is an open-source alternative to the discontinued NET.LOGIX driver for PLC communication in .NET applications.
- –The library supports EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP protocols and is lightweight, high-performance, and licensed under MPL 2.0 and LGPL 2+.
- –Comprehensive documentation and examples are available to facilitate implementation and integration.
