ConnectorIO Addons

This repository contains handful set of software integrations which allow to communicate with industrial equipment. The code which is published allow to plug various hardware (PLC, controllers, meters) to openHAB compatible solutions. Code in this repository is maintained by ConnectorIO sp. z o.o..

All together openHAB and co7io-addons allows to:

• Enable interaction between different hardware suppliers.

• Begin monitoring of manufacturing processes.

• Collect data and ingest it towards IT systems.

• Securely connect back to the hardware (without VPN client installation).

While code is divided in specific areas most ot it is present under bundles folder:

• bundles - various kinds of connectivity extensions which adapt industrial or functional algorithms into runtime.

  • org.connectorio.addons.binding - common/shared code for binding.

  • org.connectorio.addons.binding.askoheat - integration of Askoheat heaters (experimental).

  • org.connectorio.addons.binding.amsads - implementation of ADS based integration for Beckhoff PLCs.

  • org.connectorio.addons.binding.can - generic purpose CAN binding (experimental).

  • org.connectorio.addons.binding.bacnet - communication with BACnet enabled HVAC equipment and other commercial real estate hardware.

  • org.connectorio.addons.binding.canopen - integration of CANopen enabled deployments through SocketCAN.

  • org.connectorio.addons.binding.canopen.ta - integration for Technische Alternative hardware (it is based on CANopen).

  • org.connectorio.addons.binding.plc4x - integration with Apache PLC4X project.

  • org.connectorio.addons.binding.s7 - handling of connectivity to Step 7 (S7) enabled PLCs (coming from a certain vendor).

• org.connectorio.addons.transformation.* - non-standard operations which might be used at the link level to implement certain functionality.

  • org.connectorio.addons.feature - main feature package

  • org.connectorio.addons.feature.amsads - AMS/ADS deployment package

  • org.connectorio.addons.feature.bacnet - BACnet deployment package

  • org.connectorio.addons.feature.canopen - CANopen deployment package

  • org.connectorio.addons.feature.plc4x - base runtime package for integrations based upon Apache PLC4X

  • org.connectorio.addons.feature.s7 - S7 deployment package

  • org.connectorio.addons.feature.openhab - All-in-one deployment package for openHAB.

• documentation textual descriptions, screenshots and such needed to understand operational aspects of working with this code.

If you seek for secure VPN-less cloud solution allowing accessing any of above hardware please have a look on connectorio-cloud addon. It allows combining multiple installations, buildings and machines across diverse geographical locations in ConnectorIO Cloud. This is a lightweight dashboard application for collected information.

We do support this code please get in touch with us if you are interested in terms and conditions.

Relation to openHAB

This code is deployed independently of openHAB addons repository due to "incompatible" licensing (ASLv2 vs EPLv2). It will stay here cause it allows us to unify infrastructure between bindings we maintain. The shared code for bindings which might not be fortunate, but simplifies a lot common operations and reduces boilerplate code. Quality of code and coding style is different from in openHAB repositories. Code style is not planned to be aligned.

Please treat this repository as a source for third party addons.
