Hello,

"Ada for Automation" (A4A in short) is a framework, for designing industria=
l automation applications using the Ada language. It uses the libmodbus lib=
rary to allow building a Modbus TCP client or server, or a Modbus RTU maste=
r. It can also use Hilscher communication boards allowing to communicate on=
 field buses like AS-Interface, CANopen, CC-Link, DeviceNet, PROFIBUS, Ethe=
rCAT, Ethernet/IP, Modbus TCP, PROFINET, Sercos III, POWERLINK, or VARAN.

The code is in English but the documentation is in French, for the moment..=
.
I'd like to augment it before translation. To much work on the table for no=
w.
But there is plenty of images and code, and I guess you know how to auto-ma=
gically translate the parts you would feel interest for.

Thanks to Ada, it is working on Microsoft Windows, Linux and Linux with PRE=
MPT_RT patches, down to the millisecond cycle time.

Thanks to GtkAda it can be built with a GUI.
It can be built without of course.

I have already posted some questions on this list and most have been answer=
ed, making the project get where it is now, so I have to thank you again.

It works rather nicely but it would be fantastic if some experienced person=
 would review the code and give me some feedback on the design, the binding=
s, the code quality... I'm a lonely Ada programmer, and I miss feedback.

Of course, I am interested in any collaboration around this matter.
So, do not hesitate to get in touch when you have some real case.

There is a forum where users are expected to meet:

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,
