Supported hardware and software

Once you have installed and configured the ADS software, this Communication Driver should be able to communicate over TCP/IP with any Beckhoff device that is compatible with the version of the ADS software that you installed. The following devices were used in conformance tests with the TC3 ADS software (product number TC1000):

• Beckhoff TwinCAT PLC/IO on Windows

• CX1000 and CX1020 with Windows Embedded Compact 5.0 and 6.0

• PLC BC9000, BX9000 and CP6607 with Windows Embedded Compact 5.0 for ARMV4i processor

The TC3 ADS software should also be compatible with CX1010, CX1030, CX2000, CX5000, CX5100, CX8000, CX9000, and any other device that hosts a TwinCAT 2 or TwinCAT 3 runtime.

If you are unsure whether your specific device is supported, please contact your Beckhoff support representative and confirm that your device is compatible with the ADS software
