SoftBeckhoff

This project was inspired by SoftPlc and aims to reach the same goal: a virtual PLC (a Beckhoff in this case) for testing usage.

Beckhoff PLCs communicates with the ADS Protocol. Since there are no opensouce ADS Servers I wrote a simple one with reverse engineering.

Please note that this software is still under development.

Features

• :heavy_check_mark: Multiplatform + Docker Support (Windows, Linux, Mac OS)
• :heavy_check_mark: Configurable with an Rest API (Swagger)
• :heavy_check_mark: Works and act like a real Beckhoff!
• :heavy_check_mark: All native types are supported
• :heavy_check_mark: Route management on-board and over Rest API

Still under (heavy) development...

• 🌈 Support for custom compex types and arrays
