Circuit Signal Controller Unit


Manipulate your signals just like a PLC Still WIP so please, if anything goes wrong please lodge a discussion or head to github and put in an issue V 2.0.0 has major re-write and fixes. Current saves will have the units migrated to the new format and will have the unit programs stopped, please check the programs and restart them. If there is an issue with your save I would love to hear from you to fix the problem

Hoorah PLC is back!!!

Coming soon™

  • Separate red/green output wire selection
  • More tiers of controllers with higher in/out/program counts
  • Copy/Paste settings support

This is still very much a WIP and more stuff is getting added as i get time
If there is anyone interested in doing some better graphics please contact me.

Signal Controller (aka Programmable Logic Controller) takes circuit network inputs and uses them in a small program then outputs them to another circuit network.

The left hand circuit terminal is used for the PLC's input signals, these are then filtered on the "Inputs" tab to convert the selected signal into a variable to use within the program.

The right hand circuit terminal is for the output signals selected on the "Outputs" tab

The program is constructed on the "Program" tab using the dropdown selectors on each line (x100) the tooltip will attempt to explain what each command does but most are simple enough. The boxes to the right are used for the command as parameters (variable names / numbers). Once you are happy with the program clicking the run button (on the program tab) and provided it has enough power it will execute the program each tick

During each tick the PLC will do the following
1- Read signal inputs from the left hand terminal and transfer the selected ones to the variables specified, overwriting anything previously set
2- The PLC will execute all the lines of the program (with exception of any if-then-else that shouldn't execute)
3- Then output the selected variables as the signals specified to the right hand terminal

Hopefully this is clear enough if not please complain so i can fix it

1.1.1 - Bugfixes
1.2.0 - Added wire type selector for input signal filter
2.0.0 - Parameter handling re-written to use dropdowns, Added rudimentary program checking, added MOD command
