ZeroComm.Core 1.1.0

ZeroComm

ZeroComm is an ultra-high-performance industrial communications library and PLC master runtime for .NET with zero external dependencies. Written in pure C#, it delivers asynchronous, non-blocking TCP and serial transport, zero-allocation ring buffers, transaction multiplexing, and direct implementations of Modbus TCP/RTU, Mitsubishi MELSEC MC Protocol (3E Binary), Omron FINS, and RFC 5389 STUN NAT discovery without NModbus, HslCommunication, or third-party proprietary DLLs.

🌟 Key Capabilities

• Pure C# Industrial Drivers: No commercial license keys, no proprietary DLLs, no bloatware.
• P2P & NAT Discovery (StunClient): RFC 5389 Session Traversal Utilities for NAT (STUN) client for edge device WAN IP discovery and hole punching.
• Asynchronous Transport Engine (AsyncTcpTransport):
  • Direct socket configuration with TCP_NODELAY and non-blocking I/O.
  • Background receive loop pumping straight into CircularRingBuffer.
  • Automatic reconnection backoff strategy.
• Supported Industrial Protocols:
  • Modbus TCP Master: Read/Write Coils, Discrete Inputs, Holding Registers, Input Registers with transaction ID multiplexing.
  • Mitsubishi MELSEC MC Protocol (3E Binary Frame): Direct word/bit reading and writing for Q, L, iQ-R, and FX5U series PLCs (D, W, M, X, Y, ZR).
  • Omron FINS TCP: Memory area reading and writing for CP, CJ, CS series PLCs.
• Data Integrity Checksums: Stack-allocated IEEE 802.3 CRC32, Modbus CRC16, and LRC.
• Zero External Dependencies: Standard .NET runtime only.

📦 Installation

Install via the .NET CLI:

dotnet add package ZeroComm.Core

🚀 Quick Start

1. Modbus TCP Master Communication

using ZeroComm.Core.Modbus;
using ZeroComm.Core.Transport;

// Connect to PLC via async TCP transport
var transport = new AsyncTcpTransport("192.168.1.50", port: 502);
await transport.ConnectAsync();

var master = new ModbusTcpMaster(transport);

// Read 10 holding registers starting at address 100
ushort[] registers = await master.ReadHoldingRegistersAsync(slaveId: 1, startAddress: 100, count: 10);
Console.WriteLine($"Register 100 Value: {registers[0]}");

// Write single register
await master.WriteSingleRegisterAsync(slaveId: 1, address: 105, value: 1234);

2. Mitsubishi MELSEC 3E Protocol Client

using ZeroComm.Core.Mitsubishi;
using ZeroComm.Core.Transport;

var transport = new AsyncTcpTransport("192.168.1.60", port: 6000);
await transport.ConnectAsync();

var plc = new McProtocolTcpClient(transport);

// Read 20 words from data register D200
short[] data = await plc.ReadWordsAsync(deviceCode: "D", startAddress: 200, count: 20);

// Set bit M100 to ON
await plc.WriteBitAsync(deviceCode: "M", address: 100, value: true);
