PC and KAS UDP communication: C# example (Visual Studio Express 2013)This example shows how to exchange data between a PCMM or AKD PDMM and a PC using UDP. The attached KAS program works with the target controller and 2 AKD drives.  The PC-based program is written in C# and receives the axis positions from the controller. It is also possible to send text to the PC…
