AB  - With increasing popularity of Beckhoff devices in scientific projects, there is an increasing need for their devices to be integrated into EPICS control systems. Projects often want to use Beckhoff PLCs for applications that have to handle a large amount of signals with fast cycle times. So, how can we connect Beckhoff devices to EPICS control systems without sacrificing performance? Beckhoff offers multiple possibilities when it comes to interfacing with their PLCs or industrial PCs, such as modbus, OPC UA, or ADS protocols. While all of these could be used for the usual use cases, we believe that for more data intensive applications, ADS works best. For this reason, Cosylab developed an EPICS device support module that implements advanced ADS features, such as ADS sum commands, which provide fast read/write capabilities to your IOCs.
