Communication with PLC devices by the TECO company (Czechia)
The standard solution is to communicate with
TECO PLC devices (
TECOMAT,
TECOREG, ...) by the
EPSNET monomaster protocol (the protocol comes from the definition of the transportation level of the
PROFIBUS protocol) and to use
for the PmTeco communication driver. This driver can communicate
via the computer's serial port or
via Ethernet.

Note:
The
TECO company (Czechia) also supplies the
OPC server for communication with its devices. The PROMOTIC application can get the data from the PLC device by the
PmaOpcDaClient component.
The usage
OPC (the
PmOpcUaClient communication driver or
PmaOpcDaClient object) requires purchase of the
"PmOPC" licence. When developing the application in the freeware mode
PmFree, or with
development environment and while testing it in runtime, this component is always functional.
