Installation:

Linux:

ArchLinux:

An installation script is provided for users of pacman and can be used by running the following:

chmod +x installDistArch.sh

sudo ./installDistArch.sh

This script collects all dependencies required to run the programs within this repository and installs them automatically. The installation then runs a test suite to verfify the installation

Ubuntu:

An installation script is provided for users of apt-get and can be used by running the following:

chmod +x installDistUbuntu.sh

sudo ./installDistUbuntu.sh

This script collects all dependencies required to run the programs within this repository and installs them automatically. The installation then runs a test suite to verfify the installation

2. Open the installed anaconda terminal and run:

   conda install pip, numpy, pyyaml, matplotlib, pyserial

3. Followed by:

   pip install -i http://pypi.anaconda.org/pypi/simple pymodbus

4. Verify all packages are installed correctly by running:

   cd /location/of/researchProject
   python2 ./tests/TESTINSTALL.py

Running:

Scripts are provided to run each program within the .../scripts/OS_TYPE/ directory. Both simulation mode and live system running versions are avaliable so the user does not require to be connected to a live system.

Documentation

Individual detailed documentation is not yet avaliable however an insight to each controller is avaliable within the main research project report.
