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
✔️ Multiplatform + Docker Support (Windows, Linux, Mac OS)✔️ Configurable with an Rest API (Swagger)✔️ Works and act like a real Beckhoff!✔️ All native types are supported✔️ Route management on-board and over Rest API
Still under (heavy) development...
🌈 Support for custom compex types and arrays
