Questions tagged [twincat-ads]

The Automation Device Specification (ADS) describes a device-independent and fieldbus-independent interface governing the type of access to ADS devices.

An object that has implemented the ADS interface (thus being accessible via ADS) and that offers "server services", is known as an ADS device. The Interface allows for communication with TwinCAT-PLC from different programming languages.
