# Beremiz #

     4

     5

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

     6

     7

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.

     8

     9

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

    10

    11

Beremiz consists of two components:

    12

    13

* 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.

    14

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

    15

    16

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

    77

    78

## Build documentation

    79

    80

Source code for Beremiz user manual is stored in

    81

[doc](tree/default/doc)

    82

directory in project's source tree.

    83

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

    84

    85

    86

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

    87

    88

```

    89

sudo apt-get install build-essential python-sphynx

    90

```

    91

    92

### Documentation in HTML

    93

    94

Build documentation

    95

    96

```

    97

cd ~/Beremiz/doc

    98

make all

    99

   100

```

   101

   102

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

   103

   104

### Documentation in PDF

   105

   106

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

   107

   108

```

   109

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

   110

     texlive-fonts-recommended texlive-latex-extra

   111

   112

```

   113

   114

Build documentation

   115

   116

```

   117

cd ~/Beremiz/doc

   118

make latexpdf

   119

   120

```

   121

   122

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

   123

   124

## Run standalone Beremiz runtime ##

   125

   126

Runtime implementation can be different on different platforms.

   127

For example, PLC used Cortex-M most likely would have C-based runtime. Beremiz project contains reference implementation in python, that can be easily run on GNU/Linux, Windows and Mac OS X.

   128

This section will describe how to run it.

   129

   130

If project's URL is 'LOCAL://', then IDE launches temprorary instance of Beremiz python runtime (Beremiz_service.py) localy as user tries to connect to PLC. This allows to debug programs localy without PLC.

   131

   132

If you want to run Beremiz_service.py as standalone service, then follow these instructions:

   133

   134

* Start standalone Beremiz service

   135

   136

		mkdir ~/beremiz_workdir

   137

		python Beremiz_service.py -p 61194 -i localhost -x 0 -a 1 ~/beremiz_workdir

   138

   139

* Launch Beremiz IDE

   140

   141

		python Beremiz.py

   142

   143

* Open/Create PLC project in Beremiz IDE.  

   144

  Enter target location URI in project's settings (project->Config->BeremizRoot/URI_location) pointed to your running Beremiz service (For example, PYRO://127.0.0.1:61194).

   145

  Save project and connect to running Beremiz service.

   146

   147

## Examples ##

   148

   149

Almost for all functionality exists example in ['tests'](tree/default/tests/projects) and ['exemples'](tree/default/tests/projects) directories.

   150

   151

Most of examples are shown on [Beremiz youtube channel](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcE4KYI0p1f6CmSwtzyg-ZA).
