RWTH-EBC/AixOCAT

The GUI now includes visual representations for several new sensor and valve components, including 3-way and control valves (horizontal and vertical orientations), axial and radial fans (with active states), flaps (closed, half, and open), humidity, power, absolute and differential pressure sensors, cold and hot temperature indicators, and volumetric flow sensors (rectangular and round). These TikZ vector graphics are added to the \GUI/VBAixGUI/tikz\_icons\ directory, enabling the interface to display these specific sensor types in the simulation model.

Added a new TwinCAT PLC example project (MQTT\_Example) that defines two enumeration types, E\_ControlMode and E\_PumpControlMode, along with a global variable list (sampleADSGVL) containing input/output mappings for various system components such as main control, district heating, concrete core activation, and air handling units. The project includes a main program (MAIN) that generates random values for temperature setpoints, and a task configuration (PlcTask) that executes the main program. This provides a complete, runnable example of how to structure a TwinCAT project for MQTT-ADS interface integration.

The Examples/ERC\_TestHall directory now contains a complete example implementation for the AixOCAT paper, including the main controller (FB\_CCAController), the object-oriented wrapper (FB\_CCA\_OOP), and the necessary interfaces (I\_Controller, I\_HydMixCircControl, I\_Pump, I\_TempSens, I\_Valve) along with component implementations (FB\_HydMixCirc, FB\_PumpBAC\_OOP, FB\_TempSensPt100, FB\_Valve\_2\_10V) to support the test case.

Added the \HeatingSupplySystem\ project for the Heat Supply Circle example, including the solution file, project configuration, and all associated PLC source files. This includes data type definitions (e.g., \E\_ControlMode\, \E\_PumpControlMode\), global variable lists for system state and sensor data, and function blocks for controlling fans, pumps, valves, and nozzles via Modbus and BACnet protocols.

The HeatPumpTestBenchControl example project has been added, including a solution file, a TwinCAT project, and associated data files. The data files include characteristic curves for temperature sensors (VR10, VR11, PT100), heating curves, night mode schedules, and sensor calibration data (pressure, temperature). The PLC project defines global variables and data types for system state, control signals, and sensor inputs/outputs, providing a complete template for a heat pump test bench control application.

The ModbusCom solution now includes a new ModbusRTU project containing a ST\_ValveDat data type for valve control data, along with associated PLC project files and type definitions for Modbus communication, enabling users to implement Modbus RTU-based device communication.

The VBAixGUI library is now available as a reusable component for building graphical user interfaces. This release includes the core ADS connection module for PLC communication, a humidity controller (Befeuchter) control, a checkbox input component, and a statistical buffer class. Users can import the generated DLL to add these elements to their toolbox and connect to PLC variables via the ADS connection component.

The VBAixGUI application is initialized with essential project configuration files, including assembly metadata (AssemblyInfo.vb), application settings (Settings.settings), and a comprehensive set of embedded image resources (Resources.resx/Designer.vb) for UI elements such as valves, pumps, and sensors.

Added a new Python interface that bridges MQTT and ADS (Automation Device Specification) protocols, enabling bidirectional data transfer between a local PLC and an MQTT broker. The implementation includes an \ads.py\ module to manage PLC connections and routes, an \mqtt.py\ module to handle MQTT client connections and message handling, and a \mqtt\_ads\_interface.py\ orchestrator that coordinates the two. The \parsing\_and\_assignment.py\ module provides utilities to parse PLC variable lists and format data for publishing or subscribing. A \config.ini\ file allows configuration of MQTT and ADS connection details, while \setup.py\ defines the package dependencies (\pyads\, \paho-mqtt\, \pytz\).

The OSCAT library has been migrated from the XAE project format to the modern PLC project structure (OSCAT.plcproj), enabling support for multiple TwinCAT runtime environments including ARM, x86, and x64 architectures. This change updates the solution file and project configuration to reflect the new build system, ensuring compatibility with current TwinCAT development workflows.

Introduced the VBAixGUI project, a .NET 4.5 library providing UI components for industrial sensors and controls, including compressors, valves, and measurement tools. The project integrates TwinCAT.Ads and TwinCAT.Scope2 libraries to enable PLC and scope visualization capabilities.
