 # QiTech Control

-QiTech Control is an open-source framework designed to bring modern software paradigms to certified industrial hardware.
-
-It frees developers from proprietary, license-heavy PLC ecosystems and rigid "point-and-click" workflows that are no longer adequate for today's complex automation challenges.
-
-QiTech Control combines the modularity and reliability of standard EtherCAT terminals (e.g., WAGO, Beckhoff) with the power of a modern Rust & React stack.
-
+QiTech Control is an industrial control panel software for the next generation of QiTech recycling machines built on top of Beckhoff Automation hardware.

 ## Backend

-To interface with Beckhoff and other EtherCAT devices we need an EtherCAT master software.

For realtime operation only C and Rust are suitable. We chose Rust because of safety and confidence in the written code.

-# XTREM Communication Protocol
-
-**Version:** 3.007
-**Device:** XTREM / XTREM-S Weighing Module
-**Standard:** OIML R76:2006 / EN45501:2015 compliant
-
---
-
-## Overview
-
-The **XTREM communication protocol** allows a terminal or host controller to exchange data and commands with the XTREM weighing module.
-The device transmits and receives ASCII-coded frames over a serial interface (RS232, RS485, Wi-Fi, or Ethernet, depending on configuration).
-
-Since we are using the Ethernet interface we need to provide some kind of DHCP to assign an IP - Address to each XTREM Device.
-They then may be addressed via a **broadcast** IP (e.g.: 192.168.4.255/24).
-A **Unicast** communication is applied through the device ID inside the XTREM Frame.
-
---
-
-## Frame Structure
-
-Each message—both query and response—has the same format:
-
-```
-STX ID_O ID_D F D_ADDRESS D_L DATA LRC ETX
-```
-
-| Field         | Description                                       | Length (bytes) |
-| :------------ | :------------------------------------------------ | :------------: |
-| **STX**       | Start of message (ASCII `02h`)                    |        1       |
-| **ID_O**      | Sender address (2 ASCII hex chars)                |        2       |
-| **ID_D**      | Destination address (2 ASCII hex chars)           |        2       |
-| **F**         | Function code (`R`, `W`, `E`, etc.)               |        1       |
-| **D_ADDRESS** | Data address (register, 4 ASCII hex chars)        |        4       |
-| **D_L**       | Data length (2 ASCII hex chars)                   |        2       |
-| **DATA**      | Optional data field                               |    Variable    |
-| **LRC**       | Longitudinal Redundancy Check (2 ASCII hex chars) |        2       |
-| **ETX**       | End of message (ASCII `03h`)                      |        1       |
-
-In the default configuration the Frame also requires a CRLF at the end.
-
-**Example:**
-
-```
-STX ‘1’ ‘7’ ‘0’ ‘1’ ‘R’ ‘0’ ‘1’ ‘0’ ‘1’ ‘0’ ‘0’ LRC ETX CR LF
-```
-
---
-
-## Function Codes
-
-| Function | ASCII | Hex | Description     |
-| :------- | :---- | :---| :-------------- |
-| **R**    | R     | 52h | Read request    |
-| **r**    | r     | 72h | Read response   |
-| **W**    | W     | 57h | Write request   |
-| **w**    | w     | 77h | Write response  |
-| **E**    | E     | 45h | Execute command |
-| **e**    | e     | 65h | Execute response|
-
-### Write response codes
-
-* `'0'` – OK
-* `'1'` – Write denied (sealed)
-* `'2'` – Read-only register
-* `'3'` – Invalid value / out of range
-
-### Execute response codes
-
-* `'0'` – Executed successfully
-* `'1'` – Blocked by seal switch
-
---
-
-## LRC Calculation
-
-The **Longitudinal Redundancy Check** is a one-byte XOR of all message bytes, excluding:
-
-* `STX`
-* `ETX`
-* The LRC itself
-
-Example C function:
-
-```c
-unsigned char LRC(unsigned char* s) {
-    unsigned char lrc = 0;
-    while (*s) {
-        lrc ^= *(s++);
-    }
-    return lrc;
-}
-```
-
-Example Rust function:
-```rust
-pub fn compute_lrc(data: &[u8]) -> u8 {
-    data.iter().fold(0u8, |acc, &b| acc ^ b)
-}
-
-```

-## Post-Factory Reset Configuration
-
-After performing a factory reset, several registers must be configured to ensure proper operation of the device.
-
-Note: The unit may remain set to 'g' after a factory reset, but the values received may be in 'kg' depending on the device configuration.
-
-The following registers should be reviewed and set as required:
-1. **Address: 0022 | Max (Max1) (scale maximum capacity)**

-# How can I add a new Machine?
-
-Adding a new machine follows a common structure in `server/machines/`.
-
-
-
-# TLDR
-
-Summary
-
-When adding a new machine:
-
- Create Folder server/machines/YOUR_MACHINE_NAME/.
- Add the 4 files (mod.rs, new.rs, act.rs, api.rs).
- Register it in machines/mod.rs with a unique constant.
- mod.rs: define the struct + emit functions.
- new.rs: assemble devices/controllers into the machine.
- act.rs: implement the machine loop (MachineAct).
- api.rs: define request (mutations) and response (events) types.
-
-Tip: Start simple (copy MockMachine) and grow complexity as needed (add EtherCAT devices, controllers, etc.).
-
---
-
-## 1. Create the folder
-
-Create a new directory:
-server/machines/YOUR_MACHINE_NAME
-
-At a minimum, this folder needs the following files:
-
- `mod.rs`
- `new.rs`
- `act.rs`
- `api.rs`
-
---
-
-## 2. Register the module
-
-Add your machine to `server/machines/mod.rs`:
-
-```rust
-// mod.rs
-pub mod buffer1;
-pub mod extruder1;
-pub mod laser;
-pub mod mock;
-pub mod registry;
-pub mod winder2;
-pub mod YOUR_MACHINE;
-
-pub const VENDOR_QITECH: u16 = 0x0001;
-pub const MACHINE_WINDER_V1: u16 = 0x0002;
-pub const MACHINE_EXTRUDER_V1: u16 = 0x0004;
-pub const MACHINE_LASER_V1: u16 = 0x0006;
-pub const MACHINE_MOCK: u16 = 0x0007;
-pub const MACHINE_BUFFER_V1: u16 = 0x0008;
-pub const YOUR_MACHINE_V1: u16 = 0xffff; // pick a unique ID to avoid collisions also DO NOT touch any already defined ids!!
-```
-
-## 3. mod.rs
-
-This file defines your machine struct and the required event emitters.
-
-Look at MockMachine’s mod.rs for the simplest possible version.
-
-At a minimum, you need:
- emit_state
- emit_live_values
- A machine struct for state(e.g. MockMachine, Extruder, Laser, Winder, …)
-
-More complex machines (e.g. Extruder, Winder) encapsulate controllers that in turn manage devices like EtherCAT terminals.
-
-## 4 new.rs
-
-This file implements MachineNewTrait for your machine.
-Here you assemble your machine from its parts — devices, controllers, and any state.
-
-Minimal example: see MockMachine → basically no devices, just returns a struct.
-
-Medium complexity: see Laser → wraps a single serial USB device.
-
-High complexity: see Extruder → configures multiple EtherCAT devices inside controllers.
-
-Think of new.rs as the factory:
-This is the place to declare which devices make up your machine and how they’re configured.
-
-## 5. act.rs
-
-This file implements the machine control loop using MachineAct.
-The act() method is called repeatedly by the control runtime.
-
-```rs
-impl MachineAct for YourMachine {
-    fn act(&mut self, _now_ts: Instant) -> Pin<Box<dyn Future<Output = ()> + Send + '_>> {
-        Box::pin(async move {
-            let now = Instant::now();
-
-            // Update state, e.g. step a controller
-            self.some_controller.update();
-
-            // Emit live values ~30 Hz if machine is in Running mode
-            if now.duration_since(self.last_measurement_emit) > Duration::from_secs_f64(1.0 / 30.0) {
-                self.maybe_emit_state_event();
-                self.emit_live_values();
-                self.last_measurement_emit = now;
-            }
-        })
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## 6. api.rs
-
-Defines the frontend-facing API for your machine:
-
-Mutations → requests that the machine accepts
-(e.g. start/stop commands, setpoints, configuration updates).
-
-Events → responses emitted to the frontend
-(e.g. live sensor data, alarms, machine state changes).
-
-Look at MockMachine’s api.rs for a minimal version.
-
-```rs
-/// Mutations are API requests to control the machine
-#[derive(Debug, Clone, serde::Deserialize)]
-#[serde(tag = "type", rename_all = "snake_case")]
-pub enum YourMachineMutation {
-    Start,
-    Stop,
-    SetSpeed { rpm: f64 },
-}
-
-/// Events are responses sent to the frontend
-#[derive(Debug, Clone, serde::Serialize)]
-#[serde(tag = "type", rename_all = "snake_case")]
-pub enum YourMachineEvent {
-    StateChanged { state: String },
-    LiveValues { rpm: f64, torque: f64 },
-}

- Flat screwdriver
-
-### Software
-*(Installation steps in Section 4)*
- Rust toolchain
- Node.js + npm
- Git
- QiTech Control repository
- EtherCAT HAL (included inside repo)
-
-## 3. Hardware Setup
-
-### 3.1 Overview
-The Wago 750-455 is a 4-channel analog input module that measures current signals in the 4-20mA range. Each channel has its own input terminals and can operate independently.
-
-#### ⚠️ Safety Warning

-
-### 3.2 Wiring Procedure
-
-#### 3.2.1 Safe Wiring (Wago Spring Clamp)
-1. Insert a screwdriver **straight** into the square release hole.
-2. Insert the stripped wire into the round opening.
-3. Remove the screwdriver — the spring clamp locks the wire.
-
-![](../assets/wiring.png)
-
---
-
-### 3.3 Wago 750-455 Module Wiring
-
-The Wago 750-455 has 4 analog input channels. Each channel requires two terminals:
-
-**Channel 1 (AI1):**
- Terminal 1: ⊕ (Positive input)
- Terminal 2: ⊖ (Negative input/Ground)
-
-**Channel 2 (AI2):**
- Terminal 3: ⊕ (Positive input)
- Terminal 4: ⊖ (Negative input/Ground)
-
-**Channel 3 (AI3):**
- Terminal 5: ⊕ (Positive input)
- Terminal 6: ⊖ (Negative input/Ground)
-
-**Channel 4 (AI4):**
- Terminal 7: ⊕ (Positive input)
- Terminal 8: ⊖ (Negative input/Ground)
-
-For this minimal example, we'll connect at least one channel to an adjustable power supply:
-
-1. Wire adjustable power supply ⊕ to **Terminal 1** (Channel 1 positive)
-2. Wire adjustable power supply ⊖ to **Terminal 2** (Channel 1 negative)
-
-*Repeat for additional channels as needed.*
-
---
-
-### 3.4 Wago I/O System Integration
-
-The Wago 750-455 module plugs into a Wago fieldbus system. Consult your specific Wago controller/coupler documentation for:
- Power supply requirements
- Network configuration
- Module placement in the I/O rack
-
-The module automatically connects to the backplane for EtherCAT communication and power.
-
---
-
-### 3.5 Power & Ethernet
-
-#### Power
-Ensure your Wago system has adequate 24V DC power connected per manufacturer specifications.
-
-#### Ethernet
-Connect your PC to the Wago controller/coupler using a standard Ethernet cable.
