PLC profiles

Canonical profile names are part of the public configuration contract. The library rejects missing, blank, alias, and abbreviated profile strings immediately. Use ToyopucPlcProfiles.GetProfileDescriptors() when a UI needs canonical names, display labels, connection eligibility, and base-profile metadata. Store the canonical profile string, not the display name.

Device-family notation, type suffixes, practical range notes, and model-specific writable range summaries are shared across the Computerlink libraries. Use the common Computerlink Device Ranges page for those details.

Verified hardware available for focused validation is maintained once in the shared TOYOPUC Computer Link profile catalog.

Explicit selection is required

Always pass one exact canonical profile name through ToyopucConnectionOptions.PlcProfile or the plcProfile constructor argument.

  • No profile is inferred from the PLC model, CPU status, address string, host, port, or transport.
  • toyopuc:generic is not applied automatically when the profile is omitted.
  • Old names, short names, aliases, and case variants are rejected.
  • Address and data-type inputs may be normalized for convenience, but profile names are not.

Canonical profiles

Canonical profile Hardware Profile-specific cautions
toyopuc:generic Any TOYOPUC Computerlink Broad range set; prefer a hardware-specific profile when the model is known.
toyopuc:plus:standard TOYOPUC-Plus U, EB, FR, GM, GX, and GY are not in the standard range.
toyopuc:plus:extended TOYOPUC-Plus Recommended for first examples; U, GM, GX, and GY are available.
toyopuc:nano-10gx:native Nano 10GX Native addressing; relay hops are still explicit.
toyopuc:nano-10gx:compatible Nano 10GX Compatible mode; pass relay hops manually when relaying.
toyopuc:pc10g:standard-pc3jg PC10G FR is not included.
toyopuc:pc10g:pc10 PC10G PC10 addressing; FR is available.
toyopuc:pc3jx:pc3-separate PC3JX GM, GX, GY, EB, and FR are not included.
toyopuc:pc3jx:plus-expansion PC3JX B, EB, and FR are not included.
toyopuc:pc3jg:pc3jg PC3JG FR is not included.
toyopuc:pc3jg:pc3-separate PC3JG FR is not included.

How to select a profile

using PlcComm.Toyopuc;

var profile = ToyopucPlcProfiles.FromName("toyopuc:plus:extended");
Console.WriteLine(profile.Name);

Connection snippet

using PlcComm.Toyopuc;

var options = new ToyopucConnectionOptions(
    "192.168.250.100",
    1025,
    ToyopucTransportMode.Tcp,
    "toyopuc:plus:extended",
    ToyopucRoute.Direct);

await using var client = await ToyopucDeviceClientFactory.OpenAndConnectAsync(options);
var value = await client.ReadTypedAsync("P1-D0000", "U");
Console.WriteLine(value);
