In addition to serial communication, this library permits connection of serial devices to the TwinCAT PLC by means of the 3964R protocol. The PC’s serial interface and the Beckhoff KL6xxx serial Bus Terminals are supported. The full range of functions in the “Serial Communication” library is included.
The RK512 protocol implements data exchange between serial Bus Terminals and other devices via a serial interface. The COMlibRK512 library for TwinCAT PLC supports transmission and reception of PLC variables of any type. Data up to 128 bytes long is transferred transparently in the form of data blocks. To ensure secure data transmission, the 3964R protocol is used underneath the RK512 protocol. The COMlib, COMlib3964R and COMlibRK512 libraries are included in the package.
