Qt Industrial Communication Library

中文版本 | English

Overview

This Qt-based industrial communication library provides a robust and easy-to-use solution for communicating with industrial PLCs and devices using various protocols. Inspired by the HslCommunication library, this project aims to simplify industrial communication in C++ applications.

Features

• Supported Protocols:

  • Keyence Nano Serial over TCP
  • Siemens S7 (S1200 and other variants)
  • Modbus TCP (Planned)

• Key Capabilities:

  • Read/write operations for various data types
  • Support for boolean, integer, float, string, and array data
  • Network byte order conversion
  • Robust error handling with QICResult template class
  • Qt framework integration

Requirements

• Qt 5.x or Qt 6.x
• C++11 or later
• CMake 3.10+

Installation

Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/linxmouse/QIndustrialCommunication.git
cd qt-industrial-communication

Build with CMake

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

Usage Examples

Keyence Nano Serial over TCP

KeyenceNanoSerialOverTcp overTcp{ "192.168.0.78", 8501, true, false };

// Write a boolean value
auto r305w = overTcp.Write("R305", true);
if (r305w.IsSuccess) {
    qDebug() << "Write to R305 successful";
}

// Read a 16-bit unsigned integer
auto dm84r = overTcp.ReadUInt16("dm84");
if (dm84r.IsSuccess) {
    qDebug() << "DM84 value: " << dm84r.getContent0();
}

Siemens S7

SiemensS7Net s7Net(SiemensPLCS::S1200, "127.0.0.1");

// Read an integer from a specific DB
QICResult<int> rInt = s7Net.ReadInt32("DB3400.0");
qDebug() << "Read Int32 value: " << rInt.getContent0();

// Write a boolean value
auto isWriteSucc = s7Net.Write("db3400.5.1", true);

Planned Features

• Modbus TCP support
• Additional PLC protocol implementations
• Enhanced logging and diagnostics
• Performance optimizations
