Have you looked for an open source ladder editor that could be re-used? I googled "open source ladder logic editor" and got a few hits. Have you seen this project? Apparently this was derrived from the Puffin PLC project that was started years ago. http://www.beremiz.org/ Here is some histo

I agree. Being able to use Profibus with LinuxCNC would be very useful. There is a lot of used Profibus slave I/O devices and VFDs on the surplus market. Dave On 5/17/2016 4:02 PM, Nicklas Karlsson wrote: > Authur of pyprofibus used an ET200S module. > > I tried pyprofibus with RS485 and an S

I downloaded the Windows version of awlsim. Its very impressive.Regarding the Profibus interface; Are you using a RS232/ RS485 converter to connect to the Profibus I/O block? Is the methods of configuring a Profibus drop documented some where? I do Step7 programming but mostly in Lad/Ladde

Then trying to get raspi-profibus to work on an ordinary PC I discovered there is an awlsim hal module suitable for PLC programming. It would be good to know if anyone are working with awlsim? Or profibus right now? The raspi-profibus software is divided in two. The higher level is written in p
