Java on PLCnext Technology

Overview

The purpose of this section is to enable you creating Java™ applications and communicate with PLCnext Technology RSC services. Java knowledge is required. 

The sub project com.phoenixcontact.commonremoting (Java module: com.phoenixcontact.ade.commonremoting) contains the API to communicate with the RSC gateway of a PLCnext device.

The module com.phoenixcontact.commonremoting.implementation (Java module: com.phoenixcontact.ade.commonremotingimpl) is an implementation of the API to communicate with the RSC gateway of a PLCnext device and execute remote service calls.

com.phoenixcontact.rsc.common (Java module: com.phoenixcontact.arp.system.rsc) uses the API implementation to communicate with the RSC gateway of a PLCnext device and contains certificates and classes for the validation of the SSL connection.

And the public RSC service interfaces are inside the com.phoenixcontact.rsc.services (Java module: com.phoenixcontact.arp.system.rsc.services).

Project dependencies

• Find the Java RSC API at the Phoenix Contact website (Download section for any PLCnext Control, e.g. AXC F 2152). 
• The projects provide logging through the logging framework SLF4J.
  SLF4J is distributed under the MIT-License https://www.slf4j.org/license.html
• The Arp.System.Rsc project uses the Bouncy Castle library to validate certificates in accordance to the chain validity model.
  Bouncy Castle is distributed under the MIT-License https://www.bouncycastle.org/license.html
