RFC 1006 .NET SDK

RFC 1006 Client and Server Development with C#, VB.NET and C++/CLI

RFC 1006 .NET SDK product image
Software Development Kit (SDK) for the development of RFC 1006 client and server applications with C#, VB.NET and C++/CLI for communication via RFC 1006 (ISO-on-TCP) between own applications and other participants (e.g. S7 controllers) with support of the transport protocol.

How to use

The RFC 1006 .NET SDK enables the development of RFC 1006 client and server applications according to RFC 1006 (ISO-on-TCP). To implement an RFC 1006 participant, the IP address and the local as well as remotely used TSAPs1 (see below) are sufficient. No licence from the IEEE/IET consortium and no other licence than the one for Traeger's SDK is required for development!

Code example for an RFC 1006 server and client exchanging data.

The exchange of the respective data works with DT packets (= data telegrams) generated independently by the SDK, in which the user-defined message is binary coded as a payload, partitioned according to RFC 1006 and transported. Any .NET language such as C#, VB.NET and C++/CLI can be used for programming. The interfaces themselves only differ in terms of the programming language used.

Advantages

  • Free evaluation without registration
  • Simple and fast development
  • Industrial reliability
  • API design according to Microsoft standards
  • Royalty-free licences
  • Qualified support
  • Code samples included
  • Rapid updates
  • No additional software required
  • Usable without licence from IEEE/IET consortium

Connectivity

  • Access via TCP/IP with IP address or host name
  • Use of user-defined TSAPs
  • Clients as active participants
  • Servers as passive participants

Undecided?

Your application is not a .NET application? The SDK is also available for C/C++, VB and Delphi: RFC 1006 SDK

Do you want to read or write data in the controller via RFC 1006? Then the SIMATIC S7 .NET SDK is the right product for you!

Looking for a "ready-to-use" RFC 1006 client? Only your telegrams are missing in our Industry 4.0 middleware: Codabix Industrial Edge

In just a few steps, the middleware can be set up as an RFC 1006 OPC UA gateway. In this way, process data can be exchanged quickly and easily between old and new participants.

Still undecided? We will be glad to advise you free of charge and without obligation: contact us now!

Licensing

Once purchased, a licence is valid indefinitely (= unlimited licence lifetime) and allows the development of any number of products as well as their unlimited distribution without further licence costs (= royalty-free). Included are 12 months Top Level Support by our developers as well as updates including new functions.

Shortly before the support expires, it is possible to extend it for at least another 12 months for 15% of the current list price. Updates and new functions can only be obtained with valid support. Support requests can still be submitted, but will be processed on a priority basis depending on their scope. Up to one month before the expiry of active support, we will notify you of the possibility of support renewal. Support renewal is possible at any time in the first year after expiry of support for 30%, in the second year for 60% and in the third year for 80% of the current list price. From the fourth year onwards, a new licence must be purchased for the support renewal.

Branch License

A Branch License applies to all developers who use the product for software development exclusively at the location (= a postal address at which development takes place) according to the licence agreement.

Single Developer License

A Single Developer Licence applies to a single developer who, according to the licence agreement, is the only one (= full contact details of the developer and employer) to use the product for software development.


  1. TSAP stands for Transport-Service-AccessPoint which are used by client and server as an "additional port". TSAPs are often referred to as local/remote or source/destination TSAP, depending on the participant. In this case, we also speak of LSAP and RSAP or SSAP and DSAP.
