The ASComm .NET PLC Driver Library by Automated Solutions, is a fully-managed .NET Framework library that delivers communications connectivity between .NET Framework applications. Run your application on Windows to read and write registers on a broad range of industrial devices (including Allen-Bradley by Rockwell Automation, Siemens S7, Modbus / TCP & GE SRTP) using industrial communications protocols.
All supported protocol drivers are implemented in the ASComm.NET component, providing a single, consistent API regardless of the underlying protocols or hardware devices. Development licenses for each driver can be licensed individually, so you only pay for the drivers that you are developing with.
Use Visual Basic, C#, C++, and ASP.NET to create HMI, SCADA, data logging, and IIoT applications targeting Win Forms, WPF, Web, console, service, and Linux.
Powerful pre-built example applications with VB and C# source code included in development package.
Runtime-free for qualified applications
The Automated Solutions ASComm .NET PLC Driver library portal (available in both Developer and Machine Edition) allows you to browse through example applications and projects that we built to show you some possible ways our libraries can be used. In addition, we have a very well documented help system with thorough explanations and code examples. You can also activate and deactivate product libraries through our License Manager application.
