Examples
The following sample shows how to observe Value changed Notifications with the reactive AnyTypeExtensions
Observe changing ADS Symbols with reactive extensions (Extended AdsNotifications, ANY_TYPE)
// To Test the Observer run a project on the local PLC System (Port 851)
using (AdsClient client = new AdsClient())
{
// Connect to target
client.Connect(new AmsAddress(AmsNetId.Local, 851));
// Reactive Notification Handler
var valueObserver = Observer.Create<ushort>(val =>
{
Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Value: {0}", val.ToString()));
}
);
// Turning ADS Notifications into sequences of Value Objects (Taking 20 Values)
// and subscribe to them.
IDisposable subscription = client.WhenNotification<ushort>("TwinCAT_SystemInfoVarList._TaskInfo.CycleCount", NotificationSettings.Default).Take(20).Subscribe(valueObserver);
Console.ReadKey(); // Wait for Key press
subscription.Dispose(); // Dispose the Subscription
}
