private DispatcherTimer _timer = null;
private AdsSession _session = null;
//private AdsConnection _connection = null;
private void Window_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
_session = new AdsSession(AmsNetId.Local, 10000);
IConnection connection = _session.Connect();
tbConnectionState.Text = connection.ConnectionState.ToString();
_session.ConnectionStateChanged += _session_ConnectionStateChanged;
_timer = new DispatcherTimer();
_timer.Interval = TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(200);
_timer.Tick += TimerOnTick;
_timer.Start();
}
private void Window_Unloaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
_timer.Stop();
_session.Dispose();
}
private void _session_ConnectionStateChanged(object sender, TwinCAT.ConnectionStateChangedEventArgs e)
{
// ConnectionStateChanged will be triggered by communication Invokes
tbConnectionState.Text = e.NewState.ToString();
}
private void TimerOnTick(object sender, EventArgs eventArgs)
{
// The Timer Event will occur here in the UI thread because its an DispatcherTimer event!
// An active ADS request will trigger Connection State periodically!
StateInfo stateInfo;
if (_session.Connection.TryReadState(out stateInfo) == AdsErrorCode.NoError)
{
tbAdsState.Text = stateInfo.AdsState.ToString();
}
else
{
tbAdsState.Text = "Invalid";
