Hello,

I am trying to control a couple of devices from a WAGO PFC100. Namely a Siglent SSG3021 and a SEGGER flasher hub.

They both have TELNET servers available, and I would like to control them this way. It seems simple.. Everything I need is available with simple and direct commands and their equally simple responses.

How do I implement a TELNET client in Codesys. I've looked at OSCAT, It looks very simple to do nice things via TELNET, but everything there seems server-side and I do not see an example for connecting TO a server.

My ignorance of the WAGO plc and Codesys is profound.. although I am proficient with many other PLCs. Perhaps it is so simple that it is not mentioned?

How do I go about connecting to and interacting with a TELNET server from Codesys?

Even a reference to some documentation on this matter would be helpful.

Thanks!
