Hi LinuxCNC enthusiasts, I would like to announce version 0.37 of 'Awlsim', which is a STEP 7 compatible soft-PLC in development. http://bues.ch/h/awlsim Awlsim has a hardware interface and a hardware interface module that connects to LinuxCNC's HAL. This way Awlsim can be used as a LinuxCNC PLC backend programmed in S7 compatible AWL/STL. Awlsim includes an example LinuxCNC demo project that can be started with a simple command: cd examples/linuxcnc-demo ./run-linuxcnc-demo.sh [/path/to/scripts/linuxcnc] The argument to run-linuxcnc-demo.sh is optional. If it is not present, the script will execute 'linuxcnc' in your $PATH, which probably is not what you want. LinuxCNC should be compiled with --enable-simulator for the demo to work properly. A basic screen shot can be found here: http://bues.ch/h/awlsim#connecting_to_real_hardware_linuxcnc I would like to invite you to play around with this and report all of the suggestions and issues you found to me. Have fun! -- Michael |
