Part 3: How to Run a Simulated Build

1. Start B&R Automation Studio.
2. Navigate to PLC and open the Automation Studeo Project ./reAM250plc.apj
3. Switch to simulation mode.
4. Build and transfer the project to the simulated target
5. Ensure the connection settings of the simulated target are set correctly
   • IP adress: 127.0.0.1
   • Port: 12200
6. Navigate to the AMCF/output folder and run the server executable ./amc_server.exe.
7. Open the UI in the browser http://localhost:8869/

How to Connect to the Hardware

By default, the simulation mode is activated to run the above simulated build. To change this and connect to a real target, the config file has to be adapted.

To adapt the config file

• Open the AMCF Visual Studio Solution AMCF/build/reAM250.sln
• Open the config.xml

To connect to a PLC

• Adjust the connection settings to your hardware; statemachine: plc -> parametergroup: configuration -> parameter: ipadress and parameter: port
• Disable the simulation mode by setting the default value to 0; statemachine: plc -> parametergroup: simulation -> parameter: plc_is_simulated

To connect the scanner control board

• Adjust the card configuration according to your hardware; statemachine: scanner -> parametergroup: cardconfig -> parameter: cardtype, parameter: serial, parameter: ipaddress, parameter: netmask, and parameter: port
• Disable the simulation mode by setting the default value to 0; statemachine: scanner -> parametergroup: cardconfig -> parameter: simulatelaser
