Transparent retrofitting

The realization of ADS-over-MQTT inside the TwinCAT router makes the retrofitting of applications possible. None of the ADS applications (client and server) – this also includes applications written by the customer – need to be recompiled.

The ADS applications use ADS routes to identify the communication partner. This ADS route is independent of the transport channel and is described in the TwinCAT router.

If the route used is switched to an ADS-over-MQTT connection, the ADS traffic is transported via the broker (and thus secured if necessary).
