Examples
The following sample shows how to call (Remote Procedures / Methods) within the PLC.
Dynamic Tree Mode

{
/// <summary>
/// Defines the entry point of the application.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="args">The arguments.</param>
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Get the AdsAddress from command-line arguments
AmsAddress address = ArgParser.Parse(args);
using (AdsClient client = new AdsClient())
{
//client.Synchronize = false;
// Connect to the target device
client.Connect(address);
SymbolLoaderSettings settings = new SymbolLoaderSettings(SymbolsLoadMode.VirtualTree);
ISymbolLoader loader = SymbolLoaderFactory.Create(client, settings);
// Get the Symbols (Dynamic Symbols)
IStructInstance main = (IStructInstance)loader.Symbols["MAIN"]; // Gets the MAIN Instance of the PLC Program
// Call a Method that has the following signature (within MAIN Program)
/* {attribute 'TcRpcEnable'}
METHOD PUBLIC M_Add : INT
VAR_INPUT
i1 : INT := 0;
i2 : INT := 0;
