# Architecture

https://strolch.li/plc/architecture/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://strolch.li/plc/architecture/Architecture Overview The Strolch PLC architecture sees the Strolch Agent as the server, managing logical devices, i.e. multiple sensors and actors together and thus deciding on further steps. With this architecture multiple PLCs can be combined together in one agent for flow control. PLC Architecture On the agent side the two main classes are the PlcGwServerHandler and the PlcGwService The PlcGwServerHandler handles connections from remote PLCs over WebSockets and sends the requests to these PLCs.

# Example Set-Up

https://strolch.li/plc/example-set-up/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://strolch.li/plc/example-set-up/Example Set-Up This example setup describes the movement of containers over conveyors. The conveyors have motors which can be started and stopped by a GPIO output pin controlled on a Raspberry Pi and each conveyor has a light barrier to detect the occupancy of a container and the Raspberry Pi detects this on GPIO input pins. Further at each conveyor location is a barcode reader to read the ID of a container.
