Open-Industry-Project provides an open framework for software and simulations using industrial equipment and devices. It leverages open62541 for OPC UA, libplctag for Ethernet/IP and Modbus TCP, and Godot as the development environment. The project aims to offer a platform for testing ideas and education using standard industrial platforms.
The framework's strength lies in its open-source nature, supporting multiple industrial communication protocols and providing a user-friendly Godot-based development environment. The modular design allows for easy extension with new devices and protocols. It supports models from 3dfindit and other sources, enabling a wide range of simulation scenarios.
- Communication Protocols: Supports OPC UA, Ethernet/IP, and Modbus TCP.
- Godot Integration: Built within the Godot game engine for visual development.
- Model Import: Supports importing 3D models in FBX format.
- Extensible: Allows for easy addition of new devices and protocols.
- User-Friendly: Provides a graphical interface for configuration and simulation setup.
The project is actively developed with regular updates and a responsive community. The documentation is growing, covering installation, communication setup, and model importing. Recent commits indicate ongoing enhancements and bug fixes. The Discord community provides support and facilitates collaboration.
This project primarily benefits software developers, engineers, and educators seeking an open-source platform for industrial simulation and development. It addresses the need for accessible tools to test concepts, prototype industrial automation solutions, and learn about industrial protocols, offering a cost-effective alternative to proprietary simulation software.
