I am new to the open source group. I have worked as a Control Systems Engineer, but I have moved into the software development industry. I want to participate in the LinuxPLC group, if there is anything that I can help someone with, please let me know. I would like to specialize in the comunications sector, so anything with TCP/IP would be great. Thanks _______________________________________________ LinuxPLC mailing list [email protected] http://linuxplc.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxplc

Hi Phillip Welcome! We can always use more help. Ron Gage is cooking up the worlds first free and open IA protocol. Also, could you new volunteers register in our rogues gallery? I surely don't want to forget anyone and I'm reaching the interrupt level where I lose things.

Phillip, I have developed the Modbus/TCP code for LPLC. It is only designed to be a Modbus/TCP Master and so LPLC can only drive remote I/O etc. I am trying to find time to make a slave Modbus/TCP module for LPLC but am finding it difficult to at the moment due to work commitments. If you would like to have a go at creating a Modbus/TCP slave module for LPLC. It would be worth while. If you need some guidence etc just ask and or check the existing code. Let the guys on the list know what you intend to do and they'll organise the CVS login acount for you etc. -- Regards Philip Costigan _______________________________________________ LinuxPLC mailing list [email protected] http://linuxplc.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxplc

Hello, As I mentioned earlier I am very new to the open source community. How do I go about getting involved and start contributing to the community? Who do I contact for a username and password, and where is there any documentation which pertains to the design.

Hi Phillip, I sugest you start off by reading the lplc-article.txt file under the /doc directory in the project's cvs server. If you have never used cvs, I sugest you read through an introduction at www.puffinpl.org/doc/cvs.html , although you can get access to the same files through a web interface at http://www.linuxplc.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/ You can then skim through the FAQ (also in the /doc directory), and then download the source, and run a few demos. Once you have done this, you can then start off by looking at the source code for the modbus modules. This will probably be a good base to start coding the modbus (slave) functionality, either into the same modules, or as a new modules. You (or David) should probably decide which is best. If you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask. Either send them to the list, or email me directly. Cheers, Mario. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mario J.

Mario de Sousa: > I sugest you start off by reading the lplc-article.txt file under the > /doc directory in the project's cvs server. Seconded. In fact, read that first, even before setting up the CVS (if you haven't already). Just go to http://www.linuxplc.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/~checkout~/doc/lplc-article.txt > If you have never used cvs, I sugest you read through an introduction at > www.puffinpl.org/doc/cvs.html Typo - that should be www.puffinplc.org/doc/cvs.html of course Jiri -- Jiri Baum <[email protected]> Connect the power cable, interface cable and ground wire only in the methods indicated in the this manual. It may lead to fire. -- OKIPAGE 8z user's manual _______________________________________________ LinuxPLC mailing list [email protected] http://linuxplc.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxplc
