### Requested — multi-vendor & multi-protocol (spec §13 + §14, not yet scheduled)
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Multi-vendor device profiles (spec §13): extract the per-device
|
||||
facts (function codes/limits, connection limit, address maps,
|
||||
mirrors, config/watchdog/statistics blocks, trace annotations)
|
||||
into a device profile; other WAGO 750 Modbus couplers and other
|

brands' Modbus TCP I/O heads become data + a profile module
|

(FR-13.2.1–13.2.7); scenario engine, DSL, plugins and reports
|
||||
stay device-agnostic; `device:` key in node config with the
|
||||
750-362 as default; validate rejects unknown devices and
|
||||
cross-brand module mixes cleanly.
|
||||
- [ ] Additional fieldbus protocols (spec §14): protocol bindings for
|
||||
ABB AC800M-style benches — PROFINET IO device simulation (RT
|
||||
cyclic data exchange, DCP, record data; FR-14.2.2) and COMLI
|
||||
over TCP as used between AC800M and S800/S900 I/O via
|
||||
CI51x/CI522 (FR-14.2.3) — reusing the same process image,

scenario engine and reporting (FR-14.2.1, FR-14.2.4); per-
|
||||
protocol tracing, diagnostics and fault injection (FR-14.2.5–

## 13. Feature Request — Multi-Vendor Device Profiles
|
||||
|
||||
> **Status: requested 2026-10-03, not yet planned into a roadmap phase.**
|
||||
> Simulate additional Modbus TCP bus couplers — other WAGO 750 couplers
|
||||
> and other brands' Modbus TCP I/O heads — reusing the existing protocol
|
||||
> stack. This section captures the requirements; it does not commit to

|
||||
|
||||
### 13.1 Motivation
|
||||
|
||||
FAT benches test more than one controller and fieldbus family. Today
|
||||
the simulator is single-device: the 750-362 register map, limits,
|
||||
watchdog, and statistics are hard-coded across the protocol stack
|
||||
(`pdu.py` limits, `datastore.py` address dispatch, `server.py`
|
||||
connection limit and process-area predicate, `registers.py`,
|
||||
`watchdog.py`, `stats.py`, `trace.py` annotations). The transport layer
|
||||
(`mbap.py`), PDU codecs, server skeleton, scenario engine, DSL,
|
||||
plugins, and reporting are protocol-generic and directly reusable.
|
||||
|
||||
A second Modbus TCP device multiplies the value of the bench without a
|
||||
protocol rewrite: the deltas between Modbus TCP devices are — address
|
||||
maps, configuration areas, watchdog presence/semantics, statistics
|
||||
blocks, connection limits, and module catalogs with image-layout
|
||||
rules. These are exactly the facts the device manual provides.
|
||||
|
||||
### 13.2 Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
- FR-13.2.1: **Device profile abstraction**: extract the per-device
|
||||
facts into a profile concept covering: supported function codes and
|
||||
per-FC limits, max concurrent connections, idle-timeout behavior,
|
||||
process-image address map (reads and writes), read-back mirror rules,
|
||||
configuration/diagnostic register areas and semantics, watchdog
|
||||
(presence, register layout, modes), statistics block layout, and
|
||||
identity/description registers. The 750-362 becomes the first
|
||||
profile; its behavior must be unchanged after the refactor (the
|
||||
existing test suite is the regression gate).
|
||||
- FR-13.2.2: **Scenario-engine independence**: the scenario engine,
|
||||
DSL, plugins, and reports must remain device-agnostic — they interact
|
||||
with a node only through the channel model (`ModuleType` /
|
||||
`Channel` / `ChannelLocation`) and the datastore's set/read surface.
|
||||
Scenarios must not require changes when a profile is added.
|
||||
- FR-13.2.3: **Per-vendor module catalogs**: catalogs keyed by brand;
|
||||
each entry defines word/bit widths and channels. A node config
|
||||
selects brand + module list; validation must reject cross-brand
|
||||
module mixes within one node (e.g., a WAGO 750-430 in an ABB S800
|
||||
station). New catalogs are data-only additions (no engine changes).
|
||||
- FR-13.2.4: **Process-image layout rules per brand**: layout becomes
|
||||
a profile parameter (word-first + byte-packed bit modules is the
|
||||
WAGO §7.3.2.1 rule; other brands may pack differently — e.g.,
|
||||
byte-per-channel images). The channel model and alias addressing
|
||||
(FR-4.3.11 module-based and pool-based schemes) must keep working on
|
||||
top of any layout.
|
||||
- FR-13.2.5: **Config registers / watchdog / statistics as pluggable
|
||||
blocks**: implementations following the existing
|
||||
`registers.py`/`watchdog.py`/`stats.py` pattern, one set per
|
||||
profile. Devices lacking a Modbus watchdog or statistics block
|
||||
expose nothing (or an illegal-address exception) there — that is a
|
||||
device fact, not a simulator limitation.
|
||||
- FR-13.2.6: **Trace annotations per profile**: `trace.py` address
|
||||
annotations (currently 750-362 Tables 119–122) must come from the
|
||||
active profile so verbose tracing stays meaningful for every device.
|
||||
- FR-13.2.7: **Profile selection**: node config gains a `device:` key
|
||||
(e.g. `device: wago-750-362`, the default for backward
|
||||
compatibility); CLI/`WAGO_SIM_NODE` paths unchanged. `wago-sim
|
||||
validate` must report unknown devices and cross-brand module mixes
|
||||
as clean errors.
|
||||
|
||||
### 13.3 Candidate devices (informative, non-binding)
|
||||
|
||||
- WAGO 750 Modbus TCP family beyond the 362 (352/363/860…): same
|
||||
register-map family — profile effort is mainly constants and
|
||||
identity registers.
|
||||
- Other vendors' Modbus TCP I/O heads / controllers (e.g., Phoenix
|
||||
Contact Inline, Beckhoff BK/BC series): a profile written against
|
||||
the vendor manual; effort dominated by the address map and
|
||||
configuration-register semantics.
|
||||
|
||||
### 13.4 Acceptance criteria (draft)
|
||||
|
||||
1. The 750-362 profile passes the full existing test suite unchanged
|
||||
after the profile extraction.
|
||||
2. A second profile (from §13.3) serves a PLC master that reads/writes
|
||||
its documented process image; identity/description registers match
|
||||
the vendor manual; the same scenario DSL drives its channels without
|
||||
modification.
|
||||
3. Scenarios written for one device run unchanged against another
|
||||
device with equivalent channel configuration.
|
||||
4. `wago-sim validate` reports unknown device keys and cross-brand
|
||||
module mixes with clean one-line errors.

## 14. Feature Request — Additional Fieldbus Protocols (PROFINET, COMLI)
|
||||
|
||||
> **Status: requested 2026-10-03, not yet planned into a roadmap phase.**
|
||||
> Extend the simulator beyond Modbus TCP, motivated by ABB AC800M/800xA
|
||||
> systems and their distributed I/O: PROFINET IO (AC800M PN controllers
|
||||
> with S800 I/O via CI840-class interface modules) and COMLI (ABB's
|
||||
> protocol between AC800M controllers and S800/S900 I/O via CI51x/CI522
|
||||
> communication interfaces, TCP-encapsulated).
|
||||
|
||||
### 14.1 Motivation
|
||||
|
||||
An AC800M FAT bench talks to its distributed I/O over the protocol the
|
||||
controller is actually configured for. Simulating the I/O side of
|
||||
those protocols lets the same scenario engine, datasets (§8), bench
|
||||
mode (§9), and reporting drive FAT benches for ABB controllers, not
|
||||
only Modbus TCP masters.
|
||||
|
||||
The architecture separates cleanly along the same seams the
|
||||
multi-vendor profiles (§13) expose: the scenario engine couples to a
|
||||
node only through the channel model and the datastore's set/read
|
||||
surface; a new protocol is a new transport + protocol layer binding to
|
||||
the same process-image core.
|
||||
|
||||
### 14.2 Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
- FR-14.2.1: **Protocol abstraction**: a protocol binding defines how
|
||||
the field-side process image is exposed to a master: wire protocol,
|
||||
address/identifier model, cyclic vs. transactional access, and the
|
||||
device's diagnostics/alarm model. The simulator core (process image,
|
||||
scenario engine, plugins, reports) stays protocol-independent.
|
||||
- FR-14.2.2: **PROFINET IO device simulation** (candidate; scope to be
|
||||
defined against AC800M PN-controller configuration): simulate the
|
||||
device side of PROFINET IO — DCP identify/boot, cyclic RT I/O data
|
||||
exchange for a configured module list, and enough record/identification
|
||||
data for the IO controller to bring the device into data exchange.
|
||||
Scope note: a full PROFINET stack is a major undertaking; a
|
||||
realistic first target is an Ethernet-level RT simulation of one
|
||||
S800-style station profile with a fixed module list, driven by the
|
||||
existing deterministic clock and scenario engine.
|
||||
- FR-14.2.3: **COMLI device simulation** (candidate; scope to be
|
||||
defined against AC800M/CI51x/CI522 documentation): simulate the
|
||||
I/O-side endpoint of ABB COMLI over TCP as used between AC800M and
|
||||
S800/S900 I/O through CI communication interfaces — the
|
||||
register/point addressing model, cyclic polling, and the diagnostics
|
||||
responses the CI interface expects. COMLI's request/response
|
||||
register semantics map naturally onto the datastore's set/read
|
||||
surface.
|
||||
- FR-14.2.4: **Shared scenario engine**: scenarios, aliases, macros,
|
||||
assertions, plugins, and datasets (§8) work unchanged against
|
||||
protocol bindings; only the channel/identifier model of the target
|
||||
I/O system is expressed in the node config (module list with
|
||||
brand-specific article numbers). A scenario must not name wire-level
|
||||
addresses; alias resolution stays per-device via FR-4.3.11/FR-13.2.4.
|
||||
- FR-14.2.5: **Trace and diagnostics parity**: per-protocol verbose
|
||||
tracing equivalent to the Modbus plain-text trace (NFR-6.4):
|
||||
PROFINET RT frames and COMLI requests decoded in readable form with
|
||||
device-level annotations; protocol error counters analogous to the
|
||||
Modbus statistics block.
|
||||
- FR-14.2.6: **Fault-injection parity** (per protocol): for PROFINET —
|
||||
frame loss/corruption, device pull/plug, subslot mismatch,
|
||||
communication/watchdog timeouts (the PN equivalent of the Modbus
|
||||
watchdog §3.4); for COMLI — request timeouts, malformed messages,
|
||||
CI-interface failure simulation. These must be scriptable from
|
||||
scenarios like the Modbus fault paths (§3.6).
|
||||
- FR-14.2.7: **Deployment parity**: protocol servers run under the
|
||||
same service/container model (§12): env-var configuration, graceful
|
||||
shutdown; one container may host multiple protocol bindings for a
|
||||
node (a station reachable via different protocols in different bench
|
||||
setups).
|
||||
|
||||
### 14.3 Scoping questions (answer before planning)
|
||||
|
||||
1. PROFINET: full device stack vs. targeted RT simulation of one
|
||||
station profile? Which controller-side tooling (e.g., ABB Compact
|
||||
Builder) must accept the simulated device?
|
||||
2. COMLI: exact CI51x/CI522 variants in scope; is TCP encapsulation
|
||||
sufficient, or is the serial CI variant also needed?
|
||||
3. Are both protocols needed, or is one the realistic FAT target?
|
||||
(COMLI is far smaller in scope; PROFINET conformance is the larger
|
||||
effort by an order of magnitude.)
|
||||
4. Which I/O module families per protocol (S800 modules via
|
||||
PROFINET/COMLI interfaces; WAGO 750 modules over Modbus as today)?
|
||||
|
||||
### 14.4 Acceptance criteria (draft)
|
||||
|
||||
1. An AC800M controller (or a protocol-level test master representing
|
||||
one) establishes data exchange with the simulated I/O station and
|
||||
reads/writes the documented process data.
|
||||
2. The existing scenario DSL drives input changes and observes output
|
||||
reactions through the new protocol binding, unchanged.
|
||||
3. Verbose tracing shows per-protocol decoded traffic with device
|
||||
annotations; fault-injection steps behave like the Modbus
|
||||
equivalents.
|
||||
4. The 750-362 Modbus behavior is unaffected (regression suite green).
