# Beremiz #

Beremiz is an integrated development environment for machine automation. It is Free Software, conforming to IEC-61131 among other standards.

It relies on open standards to be independent of the targeted device, and let you turn any processor into a PLC. Beremiz includes tools to create HMI, and to connect your PLC programs to existing supervisions, databases, or fieldbuses.

With Beremiz, you conform to standards, avoid vendor lock, and contribute to the better future of Automation.

Beremiz consists of two components:

* Integrated Development Environment (IDE), Beremiz.py. It is running on user's computer and is used to write/compile/debug PLC programs and control PLC runtime.

* Reference runtime implementation in python, Beremiz_service.py. It's running on target platform, communicates with I/O and executes PLC program.

See official [Beremiz website](http://www.beremiz.org/) for more information.

## Install latest release ##

Windows installer and Snap package for Linux are available in [Github releases](https://github.com/beremiz/beremiz/releases) and [Snapcraft's store](https://snapcraft.io/beremiz)

## Tutorials and examples ##

In IDE, find menu "File>Tutorials and examples" to quickly open examples that should run as-is.

There are more examples in `tests/projects` and `exemples` directories.

Some example and test are shown on [Beremiz youtube channel](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcE4KYI0p1f6CmSwtzyg-ZA).

## Build on Linux (developer setup) ##

### System prerequisites (Ubuntu 22.04) :

```

# install required system packages as root

sudo apt-get install \

build-essential automake flex bison mercurial \

libgtk-3-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev \

libpython3.10-dev libssl-dev \

python3.10 virtualenv cmake git mercurial

```

### Prepare build directory

All commands hereafter assume that selected directory to contain all downloaded source code and build results is `~/Beremiz`

```

mkdir ~/Beremiz

cd ~/Beremiz

```

### Get Source Code (Mercurial)

```

cd ~/Beremiz

hg clone https://hg.beremiz.org/beremiz

hg clone https://hg.beremiz.org/matiec

```

### Get Source Code (Git)

```

cd ~/Beremiz

git clone https://github.com/beremiz/beremiz

git clone https://github.com/beremiz/matiec

```

### Python prerequisites (virtualenv) :

```

# setup isolated python environment

virtualenv ~/Beremiz/venv

# install required python packages

~/Beremiz/venv/bin/pip install -r ~/Beremiz/beremiz/requirements.txt

```

### Build MatIEC compiler

```

cd ~/Beremiz/matiec

autoreconf -i

./configure

make

```

### Build CanFestival (optional)

Only needed for CANopen support. Please read CanFestival manual to choose CAN interface other than `virtual`.

```

cd ~/Beremiz

hg clone http://hg.beremiz.org/canfestival

# -- or --

git clone https://github.com/beremiz/canfestival

cd ~/Beremiz/canfestival

./configure --can=virtual

make

```

### Build Modbus library (optional)

Only needed for Modbus support.

```

cd ~/Beremiz

hg clone http://hg.beremiz.org/Modbus

# -- or --

git clone https://github.com/beremiz/Modbus

cd ~/Beremiz/Modbus

make

```

### Build BACnet (optional)

Only needed for BACnet support.

```

cd ~/Beremiz

svn checkout https://svn.code.sf.net/p/bacnet/code/trunk/bacnet-stack/ BACnet

cd BACnet

make MAKE_DEFINE='-fPIC' MY_BACNET_DEFINES='-DPRINT_ENABLED=1 -DBACAPP_ALL -DBACFILE -DINTRINSIC_REPORTING -DBACNET_TIME_MASTER -DBACNET_PROPERTY_LISTS=1 -DBACNET_PROTOCOL_REVISION=16' library

```

### Launch Beremiz IDE

```

~/Beremiz/venv/python ~/Beremiz/beremiz/Beremiz.py

```

## Run standalone Beremiz runtime ##

* Start standalone Beremiz service

```

mkdir ~/beremiz_runtime_workdir

~/Beremiz/venv/python ~/Beremiz/beremiz/Beremiz_service.py -p 61194 -i localhost -x 0 -a 1 ~/beremiz_runtime_workdir

```

To connect IDE with runtime, enter target location URI in project's settings (project->Config->BeremizRoot/URI_location) pointed to your running Beremiz service in this case :

```

PYRO://127.0.0.1:61194

```

If project's URL is 'LOCAL://', then IDE launches on demand a local instance of Beremiz python runtime working on a temporary directory.

## Build documentation

Source code for documentation is stored in `doc` directory in project's source tree.

It's written in reStructuredText (ReST) and uses Sphinx to generate documentation in different formats.

To build documentation you need following packages on Ubuntu/Debian:

```

sudo apt-get install build-essential python-sphynx

```

### Documentation in HTML

Build documentation

```

cd ~/Beremiz/doc

make all

```

Result documentation is stored in directories `doc/_build/dirhtml*`.

### Documentation in PDF

To build pdf documentation you have to install additional packages on Ubuntu/Debian:

```

sudo apt-get install textlive-latex-base texlive-latex-recommended \

texlive-fonts-recommended texlive-latex-extra

```

Build documentation

```

cd ~/Beremiz/doc

make latexpdf

```

Result documentation is stored in `doc/_build/latex/Beremiz.pdf`.
