# ADS Client
An event driven, non-blocking ADS client for communication with Beckhoff controller.
This ADS client implementation requires the presence of a [TC1000 ADS router](https://www.beckhoff.com/en-en/products/automation/twincat/tc1xxx-twincat-3-base/tc1000.html) on the system.
## Examples
The ADS client requires the presence of the [tokio](https://tokio.rs/) runtime.
The examples denoted with *_async* are called from a main function denoted with with tokios [#[tokio::main]](https://docs.rs/tokio/latest/tokio/attr.main.html ) macro which causes the provision of the runtime. The examples without *_async* provides the runtime manually.
The provided examples rely on the related TwinCAT 3 project in TC3_Sample_Project. Also the AmsNetId of the target system must be adapted accordingly.
Build and execute the examples with ```cargo run --example <example-name>```.
Following examples are available:
- notification
- notification_async
- read_state
- read_state_async
- read_symbol
- read_symbol_async
- write_symbol
- write_symbol_async
