Of course using the Java language as a PLC has its limitations, we have manage to use it for customers and + are satisfied with the result. What follows is a description in how to set up your own Strolch based PLC.

+

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.

+

The general idea is that the PLC notifies a Strolch agent of changes, and only turns conveyors on, when the + agent gives the command. Thus the agent handles business logic and the PLC controls the I/Os.
