industrial installation with a Beckhoff PLC CX5130
Hy
What is the best way to make work the camera with this automate ?
Beckhoff use etherCat communication on ethernet cable.
And the execution of the code will be done in the camera D415 ? or in the PLC ?
Thank's for helping

Hi Gogo-t-1999 Application code will be executed on the computing device. The Beckhoff PLC CX5130 is listed as having an Intel Atom processor. RealSense 400 Series cameras can work with any Intel or Arm processor.

The specification in the above link lists Windows as the operating system that is used. You can install the RealSense SDK software on Windows by downloading and running an automated installer program called Intel.RealSense.SDK-WIN10 from the 'Assets' file list at the link below.
https://github.com/IntelRealSense/librealsense/releases/tag/v2.50.0

If the Beckhoff industrial device requires a customized version of the RealSense SDK then the SDK can also be built for Windows from source code.

RealSense cameras are able to operate over CAT5 ethernet cabling as network devices, as described in Intel's open-source ethernet networking guide.

And what do you advise me to create an application that recognizes a rectangle in space and transmits the coordinates of its corners ? -
A method of detecting the corners of a rectange is to use a print-out of a fiducial image tag such as ArUco or ChArUco.
ArUco

ChArUco
https://docs.opencv.org/3.4/df/d4a/tutorial_charuco_detection.html
If using an image tag is not practical for your project then another approach would be to define a bounding box square or rectangle around an area of the image and then obtain the corners of the bounding box.
The RealSense SDK's Python example program box_dimensioner_multicam demonstrates generating a bounding box for a cardboard box and obtaining corner coordinates.
