Iiot Libraries SL: Product Description

The IIoT Libraries SL software package contains libraries for IIoT communication and reading/writing data structures. It includes libraries for protocols like MQTT, HTTPS, and tools for common data formats like JSON and XML. Additional libraries provide communication with cloud services from AWS and Azure. The libraries are well-suited for IIoT applications and contain functions for tasks like sending/receiving web requests, publishing/subscribing to MQTT topics, and parsing/generating JSON/XML/INI files.

IIoT Libraries SL

IIoT Libraries SL
The software package “IIoT Libraries SL” contains libraries for “IIoT communication” and libraries for reading
and writing of data structures.

Product description
The product “IIoT Libraries SL” contains numerous libraries to support different communication protocols (for
example, MQTT and HTTPS) and includes tools for encoding and decoding data structures (for example, JSON
and XML). Moreover, libraries with POUs for direct communication with cloud services of individual providers
(AWS, Azure, etc.) are provided. The components contained in the CODESYS package are ideally suited for
communication in the IIoT environment.

Libraries for communication


Web Client SL
The CODESYS software package includes a library with function blocks for communicating with a web server
via HTTP or HTTPS.

The HTTP method GET requests data from a web server.


The HTTP methods POST and PUT submit data from the controller to a web server.
When using DELETE, data is deleted from a web server.
The HTTP method HEAD returns the HTTP header.

The HTTP header of a request can be extended without any restrictions. In addition, function blocks are
included for HTTP basic authentication and authentication via OAuth (Version 1a and 2).

MQTT Client SL
MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) is an open-source IoT protocol that allows for the transmission
of telemetry data as messages between devices. Device communication always takes place by means of an
MQTT broker (e.g. Mosquitto https://mosquitto.org/). Messages are sent and subscribed to based on topics. A
topic corresponds to a path (e.g. device1/temperature). Subscribing to messages is done by specifying a topic
filter. Wildcards are also permitted (+ for one level and # for multiple levels). The message format is not fixed,
which means that a JSON string or any data structure can be transmitted.
With the “MQTT Client SL” library, messages can be sent from a CODESYS controller to an MQTT broker, and
messages can be subscribed to based on topics.

Mail Service SL
This library contains function blocks for sending, receiving, and deleting emails by means of SMTP and POP3
protocols. Communication with the mail server can be established either encrypted (TLS) or unencrypted. A
sample project demonstrates how to use the function blocks.

SMS Service SL
With this library it is possible to send, receive and delete short messages via a GSM modem.

SNMP Service SL
This library makes it possible to read device information of printers, routers etc. via the SNMP protocol. The
library provides function blocks to send and receive SNMP messages. The package contains the SNMP library
and example applications.
Supported SNMP features:

SNMP GET: Request a value.


SNMP GET_NEXT: Request a value and get the OID from the next value.
SNMP Agent: Enables devices to request values from the control (agent).
SNMP TRAP: Send and receive TRAP/INFORM telegrams.

SNTP Service SL
The library SNTP Service SL contains function blocks for easy implementation of SNTP client and server
components on a CODESYS control (SNTP V3, SNTP V4). The function block SNTPGetUTCTime can be used to
request the UTC time of a SNTP/NTP server. The function block SNTPServer can be used to build a simple
SNTP server.

Function blocks (FBs) of the SNTP library:

SNTPGetUTCTime: FB to request the time of a SNTP server (SNTP client)


SNTPServer: FB to send the local server time (SNTP server)

AWS IoT Core Client SL


The “AWS IoT Core” service is a managing cloud platform from Amazon in which connected devices can work
together easily and safely with cloud applications and other devices. The “AWS IoT Core Client SL” library
provides function blocks for sending and receiving messages. Communication is encrypted and takes place by
means of the MQTT protocol. In the AES environment, messages are typically transmitted in JSON format. The
“JSON Utilities” library can be used for parsing and creating JSON files.

Azure IoT Hub Client SL


The “Azure IOT Hub” cloud service from Microsoft directly links IoT devices. (For more detailed information,
refer to https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/iot-hub/). The “Azure IoT Hub Client SL” library provides
function blocks for sending and receiving messages. A sample project demonstrates how to use the library.

Libraries for reading and writing of data structures


CSV Utility SL
The library CSV Utility SL provides function blocks to read and write CSV files. The library contains the
components CSVReader (read a CSV file) and CSVWriter (write a CSV file). All function blocks can be used in a
classical or object oriented way. An example project demonstrates the usage of all components.

INI File Utility SL


The product ​INI File Utility SL​ is a library to read and write INI files. The library contains function blocks to read,
write and find values of INI files. An example project shows the usage of the library and their function blocks.
Content of the package:

Library INI File Utility SL (Namespace: INI_UTIL)


Example project with visualization to read, write and find values of INI files
CHM help file

JSON Utilities SL
The ‘JSON Utilities SL’ library provides the following functionalities:

Read JSON files (UTF-8 and UTF-16)


Read JSON byte arrays
Write JSON files (UTF-8 and UTF-16)
Read JSON byte arrays
Search for keys, values, and child and parent elements
The data is stored in an array of structures. Data access and element search is performed by means of
methods from the JSONData function block. The function blocks JSONByteArrayReader and JSONFileReader read
data in JSON format and save the values in the JSONData function block. Writing files and byte arrays is
performed by means of the function blocks JSONFileWriter and JSONByteArrayWriter.
A simple REST client can be implemented easily in connection with the library ‘Web Client SL’.

XML Utility SL
2/4
IIoT Libraries SL

The library “XML Utility SL” contains function blocks to read and write xml files or xml strings on a control. All
elements of the xml file are stored in an array of structures. The library also contains function blocks to find
elements by name and attribute. The usage of the library is demonstrated by two example applications.
The library contains following components:

IEC 61131-3 library XML Utility SL (Namespace XML)
