Beckhoff TwinCAT
For Beckhoff TwinCAT, SQL4automation provides two sample projects. One for TwinCAT V2 and one for TwinCAT V3 controllers. SQL4TwinCAT can be directly integrated as a library. Since communication takes place via TCP/IP, the Beckhoff TCP/IP Server license is required. On Beckhoff controllers running Windows or Windows Embedded (not CE), the SQL4automation Connector can be installed directly. No additional hardware is necessary.
