How to Run this container

Running from Docker Hub

# pull from docker hub
$> docker pull rosiste/plccoms:latest

# run PLCComS container
$> docker run --name=plccoms            \
              --restart=always          \
              --detach                  \
              --publish=5010:5010/tcp     \
              -e TZ=Europe/Prague       \
              -v plccoms_log:/var/log/teco  \
              -v plccoms_etc:/etc/teco      \
              rosiste/plccoms

Configuration

When first started, the configuration file PLCComS.ini in directory /etc/teco contain default values from TECO. Therefore, it is essential to adjust these values according to your environment. This is especially the ip address and port of the PLC and the location of *.pub files. All configuration variables are described in default PLCComS.ini file.

Example of PLCComS.ini file when using default file locations:

[INELS]
IPADDR        = 192.168.1.1
SERVER_PORT   = 5010
PUBFILE_CRC   = No
PUBFILE_WRITE = No
PUBFILE_FIXED = ../../etc/teco/FIXED_Foxtrot.pub
PUBFILE       = ../../etc/teco/inels.pub

All file paths must be specified as relative from /opt/teco. The inels.pub file contains the export of variables from the PLC, for example from the IDM software.
