## Awlsim - Programmable Logic Controller (PLC/SPS)
Awlsim is a free Step 7 compatible Programmable Logic Controller, that supports the automation languages AWL/STL and FUP/FBD. Awlsim itself is written in Python. The speed of execution ranges from several ten thousand AWL/STL instructions per second on slow embedded machines to a couple of million instructions per second on faster computers.
AWL/STL programs on PLCs are used for automation of industrial processes. However Awlsim is very flexible, so it can be used for other purposes beyond industrial applications, too. Awlsim aims to be compatible with the industry standard S7 software on the AWL/STL level.
Awlsim can emulate CPUs with two and four accumulator registers (S7-3xx and S7-4xx). Compatibility to S7 hardware is a task taken seriously by the Awlsim project. We want to be as close as possible to the real PLC hardware with our AWL/STL code execution. For this reason Awlsim ships an extensive selftest suite. Missing features and differences between Awlsim and Step 7 are documented in the [COMPATIBILITY documentation](COMPATIBILITY.md) and [TODO documentation](TODO.md) files.
## Quick start tutorial
See the [quick start tutorial](QUICK-START.md) for a simple example on how to use Awlsim in simulator mode. In simulator mode Awlsim can be run on any desktop PC. No special hardware is required.
## Example project
If you don't know where to start, you can find an example project in the `examples` directory as `EXAMPLE.awlpro`. You can easily run this example in simulation mode without the need for special hardware.
## Git repository
The latest development version of Awlsim can be fetched with git:
git clone https://git.bues.ch/git/awlsim.git
cd awlsim
After cloning the main repository the git submodules must also be fetched. The following helper script can be used:
./maintenance/update-submodules
## Dependencies
Awlsim depends on

## Environment variables
The following environment variables control Awlsim's basic behavior:
* `AWLSIM_GUI`
`=auto` Automatically select the best GUI framework (default)
`=pyside` Use PySide as GUI framework.
`=pyqt` Use PyQt as GUI framework.
* `AWLSIM_CYTHON`
`=0` Do not attempt to use Cython core (default)
`=1` Attempt to use Cython core, but fall back to Python
`=2` Enforce Cython core
* `AWLSIM_SCHED`

`=normal` Use the normal non-realtime OS scheduling.
`=fifo` Use FIFO realtime scheduling (`SCHED_FIFO`).
`=rr` Use Round-robin realtime scheduling (`SCHED_RR`).
`=deadline` Use Deadline realtime scheduling (`SCHED_DEADLINE`).
`=realtime` Use a realtime scheduling algorithm that performs best in most situations. The actual algorithm selection might change between Awlsim releases.
The suffix `-if-multicore` can be appended to the options `fifo`, `rr`, `deadline` and `realtime`. That will trigger a fall back to `normal`, if the system is single-core (has only one CPU).
* `AWLSIM_PRIO`
`=default` Do not change the priority (default).
`=1-99` Set the scheduling priority. The meaning of the priority depends on the operating system and the selected scheduling algorithm. See `AWLSIM_SCHED`.
* `AWLSIM_AFFINITY`
`=0,2,...` Comma separated list of host CPU cores to run on. Default: all cores.
* `AWLSIM_MLOCK`
`=0` Do not try to mlockall. See man 2 mlockall. (default).
`=1` Try to mlockall all current and future memory. See man 2 mlockall.
`=2` mlockall all current and future memory. Abort on failure. See man 2 mlockall.
* `AWLSIM_PROFILE`
`=0` Disable profiling (default)
`=1` Enable core cycle profiling
`=2` Enable full core profiling (including startup)
* `AWLSIM_COVERAGE`

`=realtime` Enable manual garbage collection, if realtime scheduling is enabled. (default)
`=auto` Always use automatic garbage collection.
`=manual` Always use manual garbage collection.
* `AWLSIM_GCTHRES`
`=700,1,1`
A comma separated string with up to 3 integers.
Each integer corresponding to the Python garbage collector generation 0 to 2 thresholds for manual garbage collection.
A threshold value of 0 disables garbage collection. (not recommended)
* `AWLSIM_GCCYCLE`
`=64`
The number of OB1 cycles it takes to trigger a manual garbage collection.
## Environment variables during build (setup.py)
The following environment variables control Awlsim's build (setup.py) behavior:
* `AWLSIM_FULL_BUILD`
`=0` Do not include scripts that are not necessary on this platform. (default)
`=1` Include all scripts; also those that aren't required on the platform.
* `AWLSIM_CYTHON_BUILD`
`=0` Do not build any Cython modules. (default on non-Posix)
`=1` Build Cython modules. (default on Posix)
* `AWLSIM_CYTHON_PARALLEL`
`=0` Do not use parallel compilation for Cython modules.

## Building Awlsim
Awlsim can be run from the source directory in interpreted Python mode without building it. Just `cd` into the Awlsim source directory and execute the desired main executable (e.g. `./awlsim-gui` or `./awlsim-server` etc...).
The accelerated Cython libraries can be built with the standard Python `./setup.py build` command.
For convenience there also is a helper script `./maintenance/build.sh`, which will do everything right to build Awlsim. That can be used instead of calling setup.py directly.
There also is `./maintenance/build-noopt.sh`. That builds Cython modules without optimization. The build is much faster, but the resulting Cython libraries will be much slower. This is useful for development. Do not use this for production.
## PiLC - The Raspberry Pi PLC
If you want to use PiLC, please also see the [PiLC documentation](https://bues.ch/a/pilc).
## Building Debian / Raspbian / PiLC .deb packages
Installing or upgrading Awlsim on a Debian based system is easy.
The `debuild` can be used to build the .deb packages. Just run the following commands to build all Awlsim .deb packages:
cd path/to/awlsim # Go to Awlsim source directory
sudo ./maintenance/deb-dependencies-install.sh # This installs all dependencies
debuild -uc -us # Build all Awlsim .deb packages
sudo ./maintenance/deb-install.sh .. # Install or upgrade all Awlsim .deb packages
The .deb files will be put into the parent directory of the Awlsim source directory.
If you get the following build failure during build:
`/usr/include/features.h:xxx:xx: fatal error: sys/cdefs.h: No such file or directory`
this can be fixed by re-installing the libc development package:
`sudo apt install --reinstall libc-dev`

## FUP - Funktionsplan - Function block diagram
Awlsim supports programming in an S7-FUP like language. See [the FUP documentation](doc/fup/FUP.md) for more information about Awlsim's implementation of FUP.
## Environment variables
The following environment variables control Awlsim's basic behavior:
* `AWLSIM_GUI`
`=auto` Automatically select the best GUI framework (default)
`=pyside` Use PySide as GUI framework.
`=pyqt` Use PyQt as GUI framework.
* `AWLSIM_CYTHON`
`=0` Do not attempt to use Cython core (default)
`=1` Attempt to use Cython core, but fall back to Python
`=2` Enforce Cython core
* `AWLSIM_SCHED`
`=default` Do not change the scheduling policy. Keep the policy that was assigned to Awlsim by the operating system. (default)
`=normal` Use the normal non-realtime OS scheduling.
`=fifo` Use FIFO realtime scheduling (`SCHED_FIFO`).
`=rr` Use Round-robin realtime scheduling (`SCHED_RR`).
`=deadline` Use Deadline realtime scheduling (`SCHED_DEADLINE`).
`=realtime` Use a realtime scheduling algorithm that performs best in most situations. The actual algorithm selection might change between Awlsim releases.
The suffix `-if-multicore` can be appended to the options `fifo`, `rr`, `deadline` and `realtime`. That will trigger a fall back to `normal`, if the system is single-core (has only one CPU).
* `AWLSIM_PRIO`
`=default` Do not change the priority (default).
`=1-99` Set the scheduling priority. The meaning of the priority depends on the operating system and the selected scheduling algorithm. See `AWLSIM_SCHED`.
* `AWLSIM_AFFINITY`
`=0,2,...` Comma separated list of host CPU cores to run on. Default: all cores.
* `AWLSIM_MLOCK`
`=0` Do not try to mlockall. See man 2 mlockall. (default).
`=1` Try to mlockall all current and future memory. See man 2 mlockall.
`=2` mlockall all current and future memory. Abort on failure. See man 2 mlockall.
* `AWLSIM_PROFILE`
`=0` Disable profiling (default)
`=1` Enable core cycle profiling
`=2` Enable full core profiling (including startup)
* `AWLSIM_COVERAGE`
`=DATAFILE` Enable code coverage tracing.
* `AWLSIM_GCMODE`
`=realtime` Enable manual garbage collection, if realtime scheduling is enabled. (default)
`=auto` Always use automatic garbage collection.
`=manual` Always use manual garbage collection.
* `AWLSIM_GCTHRES`
`=700,1,1`
A comma separated string with up to 3 integers.
Each integer corresponding to the Python garbage collector generation 0 to 2 thresholds for manual garbage collection.
A threshold value of 0 disables garbage collection. (not recommended)
* `AWLSIM_GCCYCLE`
`=64`
The number of OB1 cycles it takes to trigger a manual garbage collection.
## Environment variables during build (setup.py)
The following environment variables control Awlsim's build (setup.py) behavior:
* `AWLSIM_FULL_BUILD`
`=0` Do not include scripts that are not necessary on this platform. (default)
`=1` Include all scripts; also those that aren't required on the platform.
* `AWLSIM_CYTHON_BUILD`
`=0` Do not build any Cython modules. (default on non-Posix)
`=1` Build Cython modules. (default on Posix)
* `AWLSIM_CYTHON_PARALLEL`
`=0` Do not use parallel compilation for Cython modules.
`=1` Invoke multiple compilers in parallel (faster on multicore). (default)
* `AWLSIM_PROFILE`
`=0` Do not enable profiling support in compiled Cython modules. (default)
`=1` Enable profiling support in compiled Cython modules.
* `AWLSIM_DEBUG_BUILD`
`=0` Do not enable debugging support in compiled Cython modules. (default)
`=1` Enable debugging support in compiled Cython modules.
## Building Awlsim
Awlsim can be run from the source directory in interpreted Python mode without building it. Just `cd` into the Awlsim source directory and execute the desired main executable (e.g. `./awlsim-gui` or `./awlsim-server` etc...).
The accelerated Cython libraries can be built with the standard Python `./setup.py build` command.
For convenience there also is a helper script `./maintenance/build.sh`, which will do everything right to build Awlsim. That can be used instead of calling setup.py directly.
There also is `./maintenance/build-noopt.sh`. That builds Cython modules without optimization. The build is much faster, but the resulting Cython libraries will be much slower. This is useful for development. Do not use this for production.
## PiLC - The Raspberry Pi PLC
If you want to use PiLC, please also see the [PiLC documentation](https://bues.ch/a/pilc).
## Building Debian / Raspbian / PiLC .deb packages
Installing or upgrading Awlsim on a Debian based system is easy.
The `debuild` can be used to build the .deb packages. Just run the following commands to build all Awlsim .deb packages:
cd path/to/awlsim # Go to Awlsim source directory
sudo ./maintenance/deb-dependencies-install.sh # This installs all dependencies
debuild -uc -us # Build all Awlsim .deb packages
sudo ./maintenance/deb-install.sh .. # Install or upgrade all Awlsim .deb packages
The .deb files will be put into the parent directory of the Awlsim source directory.
If you get the following build failure during build:
`/usr/include/features.h:xxx:xx: fatal error: sys/cdefs.h: No such file or directory`
this can be fixed by re-installing the libc development package:
`sudo apt install --reinstall libc-dev`
## Development
Information about Awlsim development can be found in [the Awlsim development documentation](DEVELOPMENT.md).
