SoftPlc

Software PLC controlled over Web API

How often did you need a PLC for testing, but you had none?

This project aim to end you pain with test against PLC!

How does it works

Use it from source code

Build and Start the software (don’t forget to copy the native library you need)

cd SoftPlc
dotnet restore
dotnet build
cp native\win\snap7.dll bin\x64\Debug\net6.0\snap7.dll
dotnet bin\Debug\net8.0\SoftPlc.dll --plcPort=102 --urls="http://localhost:8080/"

Use it with docker

Pull the actual docker image for your platform see available tags and run it with the correct port binding. (Brand new MOBY support is included! Just select latest-win1809 tag.)

docker run -p 8080:8080 -p 8443:443 -p 102:102 --name softplc fbarresi/softplc:latest-linux

Now you have:

• a Simulated PLC listening at port 102 (see ISO-over-TCP protocol)

  • by default, it starts without any data. If you need some preset data you can add -e DATA_PATH=/demodata to start with a single 2048 byte DataBlock. The data content is described here.

• an API listening at http://localhost:8080/ (with Swagger included under http://localhost:8080/ ) in which you can add, read, modify and delete as many datablocks as you want

Do you also need a PLC Client in your application?
