The CppExamples repository is a collection of various sample code for PLCnext Technology controllers.
It is assumed that the reader has basic know-how of C++ programming and has read the PLCnext Technology User Manual.
Each example explains one or more topics on how to use C++11 with PLCnext Technology. Explanations are given in the README.md document and via comments in the example code.
Each example holds separate user components which can be instantiated on a PLCnext Control.
This project aims to supply, over time, examples and best practices of PLCnext Technology functions regarding C++11.
| # | Topic | Content | SourceCode |
|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | Program Component Interaction | This example shows two PLCnext programs interacting with a PLCnext component by getting or setting variables through reference. | SourceCode |
| 02 | Data Type Exchange Example | This example shows how to transfer data from a C++ project to the GDS. Variables published to the GDS can be accessed by other programs (IEC/C++/Simulink/C#) or the IOs | SourceCode |
| 03 | Include an Open Source Library | This describes how to use a third-party open-source library in a C++ project that is built for PLCnext Control using Eclipse | |
| 04 | Thread Example | This describes how to implement Threads in a component of C++ project. | SourceCode |
| 05 | Notification Example | This describes how to use the Notification Manager. | SourceCode |

There are different ways how to build your code:
- Install Eclipse IDE, CLI, SDK and Eclipse Add-in (how-to guide: see links in the "Getting started" section above)
- Clone this repository
- Navigate to the project you want to test, e.g.
cd Examples/ProgramComponentInteraction - Execute
plcncli new project -c DummyC -p DummyP && ls -la src && rm src/Dummy* - Execute
plcncli generate allto generate intermediate code and Config files - Execute
plcncli buildto build the code. - Execute
plcncli generate libraryto generate a .pcwlx file that can be included in PLCnext Engineer
- Create a new empty project named like the example you want to test
- Remove the source files located at
ProjectName/src - Move the source files from the example you want to use into your workspace at
ProjectName/src - Build the project
Compile using build-local.sh script
- Clone this Repository
- Modify the build-local.sh script to fit your needs
- select Hardware
- select Project
- Make sure it is executable for example with
chmod +x tools/build-local.sh - Execute the script
./tools/build-local.shorsh tools/build-local.sh
