A .NET Library for Cimon PLCs Connectivity
CIMON-PLC is an industrial control device based on international standards of IEC61131. There are many tools and servers to work with PLCs and send/recieve data with them, but what if we want to use our application to communicate? I Couldn't find any library to work with Cimon PLCs, and actually I used them in many projects. So I decided to publish my library.
You can install Cimon.Net with NuGet Package Manager Console:
Install-Package Cimon.Net
Or via the .NET Core command-line interface:
dotnet add package Cimon.Net
Either commands, from Package Manager Console or .NET Core CLI, will download and install Cimon.Net and all required dependencies.
Create a Connector based on your connection type, You can choose between EthernetConnector to support Ethernet TCP/UDP connection or SerialConnector to support RS232C/RS485 serial interfaces.
EthernetConnector usage sample for reading 10 bits from Input device memory X address 000001:
var Plc = new EthernetConnector(new TcpSocket("192.168.1.10", 10620), true);
var (responseCode, data) = await Plc.ReadBitAsync(MemoryType.X, "000001", 10);
SerialConnector usage sample for write 5 bits to Output device memory Y address 000010:
var Plc = new SerialConnector(new SerialSocket("COM3", 9600), true);
await Plc.WriteBitAsync(MemoryType.Y, "000010", 1, 1, 1, 0, 1);

Complete range of Cimon PLC products including PLC-S, CP, XP series
You need at least Visual Studio 2019 (you can download the Community Edition for free).
I used my library Rony.Net in unit tests for EthernetConnector. But for SerialConnector
I used no device or library and it only works with a fake socket.
