This is the FTP page where you can download the packages for ADS development from beckhoff.

Just downlaod the CS_AdsServer.zip file and extract. You will find everything you need included.

You need to install TwinCAT to get the tcadsdll.dll file. You can request a download file on Beckhoff's website for free.
