.NET PLC driver for Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Modbus & GE

ASComm IoT

PLC Driver Library Product Summary

The ASComm IoT PLC Driver Library by Automated Solutions, is a fully-managed .NET Standard 2.0 library that delivers communications connectivity between .NET 8, 7, 6 and Core applications. Run your application on Windows, Linux, macOS and Android 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 IoT class library, 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 Industrial IoT applications targeting .NET 8, 7, 6 and Core, Universal Windows Platform (UWP), Windows Desktop, ASP .NET Core, service, Linux and Xamarin.

Powerful pre-built example applications with VB and C# source code included in development package.
