Sample repository

The Tc3_sACN library is distributed via its official GitHub repository. To start the installation, users should download the repository as a ZIP archive to their local machine.

https://github.com/Beckhoff/TF6310-TCP-IP.lib_samples.sACN.plc.git

The downloaded folder includes several key components necessary for development:

• Tc3_sACN.compiled-library: This is the primary compiled library file. You must install this file into your TwinCAT development environment (specifically the PLC Library Repository) to make the sACN functional blocks and interfaces available for your projects.

• TwinCAT Example Project: Along with the library, a TwinCAT project is provided that contains practical examples of usage. These samples demonstrate how to implement core components such as the FB_sACN_UDP_Communicator, receivers, and sources.
• PowerPoint Tutorial: To help users get started quickly, a brief tutorial in PowerPoint format is included in the folder. This presentation provides a visual guide and overview of the library's architecture and setup. The PowerPoint is helpful information next to the information in this Infosys article.

Once the .compiled-library is installed in your system, you can reference it in your PLC projects to begin communicating with sACN-compatible devices using the ANSI E1.31 – 2018 standard
