Re: Exploring Plc4x

[Cesar Garcia]

Hi,

Please, you can use "karaf.bat" for startup.

This way the console start.

__  __ _   _
|  \/  |   ___   _ __  | |   ___   | |_
| |\/| |  / _ \ | '__| | |  / _ \  | __|
| |  | | |  __/ | || | | (_) | | |_
|_|  |_|  \___| |_||_|  \___/   \__|

Merlot Industrial Gateway (0.0.1-SNAPSHOT)

Hit '' for a list of available commands
and '[cmd] --help' for help on a specific command.
Hit '' or type 'system:shutdown' or 'logout' to shutdown Merlot.

karaf@root()>


Karaf documentation can be found at https://karaf.apache.org

If the console starts, the Modbus server is already active, so Modbus
devices must be created.

At the command line type

karaf@root>modbus:new --help
karaf@root> modbus:new 10 test desc 1000 1000 1000 1000

Then check the configuration file for the simulation of the records as I
pointed out in the previous email.

You must verify if the instance is active, since the option "start.bat"
starts as a service, which you must kill to avoid a problem with the ports.

Take a look at the concept here https://github.com/glcj/Merlot/wiki, I will
work on the documentation shortly.

For tomorrow if you are online, we can use Google meet or other tools if
you follow the problems.

Best regards,

Re: Exploring Plc4x

[venki hadoop]

Hello Cesar,.
 Can you please provide me some information regarding how
to start device, it's bit confusing.   I
made necessary config changes in windows, then started using start.bat file
from command line prompt. But nothing is happening. Please let me know what
am doing is correct?
   Thanks,

Re: Exploring Plc4x

[Cesar Garcia]

Hi Venki,

Sorry for the delay, the internet connection was spectacular, the ADSL very
slow to download and very very & very slow to upload.

Attach you will find the download links for the application, the version
.zip (Windows) and .tar.gz (Linux)...

https://mega.nz/file/nhVgxAQZ#M11oLJc-N5qDnbeF_AhhsQk5ow9B3rPsIT2bt1ZORLc
https://mega.nz/file/zocg0CyT#Pk5E9nRdM-xdGNDSjAY9hl27pUpWgPDjdsO_apCE6WQ

1.  You can add a Modbus device through the command line or permanently in
the configuration file *com.ceos.merlot.modbus.dev.cfg*. You can specify
the number of elements you require (Coils, Input registers, etc.).
2. After creating the Modbus device, you can add the simulation services,
you have three:
Random: Which simulates bits and scalars in a given range of registers.
Function: Perform simple math operations
Signal: Generates continuous functions (Sinus, square, triangular and
sawtooth).
You can do this in the configuration file *com.ceos.merlot.modbus.sim.cfg*.

The configuration files can be found in the 'etc' directory.

In the case of the signals function, you can play with the frequency and
phase registers, to adjust the signal to your sampling time. Please don't
forget our friend Nyquist.

I'm going to spend some time on documentation.

Chris, this is the tool I was telling you about to incorporate into the
PLC4X project, if It meet the requirements of course.

I hope you find it useful in testing with Modbus

Best regards,...

[DISCUSS] Users page

[Christofer Dutz]

Hi all,

I think we discussed this multiple times but never actually continued. So I 
took the liberty of adding a new page to our website:
https://plc4x.apache.org/users/users.html

However this page isn’t linked in the navigation as I want to discuss this 
first.

It’s the plan to allow any company to be listed there. The mechanism on how to 
get added is by providing a PR. This way we have someone who is in git-blame 
and which we can say is responsible for having a company added.

I updated all links to be “nofollow” links and to open new browser tabs.

Would such a page be in-line with the ASF policies?

Chris

[ANNOUNCE] Apache PLC4X 0.7.0 released

[Christofer Dutz]

The Apache PLC4X team is pleased to announce the release of Apache PLC4X 0.7.0

PLC4X is a set of libraries for communicating with industrial programmable
logic controllers (PLCs) using a variety of protocols but with a shared API.

Find more information on the project on our website
https://plc4x.apache.org

This release can be downloaded from here:
https://plc4x.apache.org/users/download.html

This is probably the biggest release we had so far. It marks a
milestone in providing
Driver implementations for multiple target languages, as with this release all
existing drivers have been deleted and replaced by new generated drivers.
We also took the opportunity to fix some of the problems we noticed on the
old drivers. Please note that starting with this version the
connection string syntax
has changed significantly and for some drivers also the address
syntax. So please
be sure to double check our driver documentation here:
https://plc4x.apache.org/users/protocols/index.html

However we suggest to update with caution and not instantly go into production
without previously testing. As with all new things, even if we did a
serious amount
of testing, there might be issues hidden in the details. If you should find any
regression issues, please report them as we are planning on speeding
up the release-
train significantly with this release. For the time being the 0.6.0
branch will continue
to be maintained until feedback from the community makes us feel safe with
focusing solely on the new drivers.

Regards,
The Apache PLC4X team

   Yeah i think to include there a Sample Server should be a good idea. I would 
first just integrate a Milo example server and would transfere the ManualTest 
class to an integration test or what you mean by the TestContainers Project?
   
   If there would be an alternativ server it would be better to get possible 
specification problems

   Good question, indeed. But good to know that it works for you. @nalim2 we 
should definetly have a look there. Probably we could start an OPC Server and 
start a Client and just do some sending. Probably even using the awesome 
TestContainers Project?

Hi Lukas,

I think this information is a little too much for the typical Announce 
email.

This is usually aimed at consumers of project artifacts and they don't 
really care about the internals.

I can add a notice that if someone is interested on this topic to check our 
documentation or contact us on our list.

I did however notice I should add a notice on the changed connection-string 
and sometimes address string syntax ... should mention that.
