Steps to Download, Build, Simulate, and Run the Kairo Program

1. Download the Kairo Program

• Clone the latest version of the Kairo Program from GitLab, making sure to select the Kairo branch.

2. Open the Project in Flexcore

• Launch Flexcore 4.10 (with the T135 hotfix provided by KEBA).
• Open the project file: KairoProgram.project.

3. Build the Project

• Click the Build button from the top panel, or press F11, to compile the project.
• Ensure the build completes successfully without errors.

4. Create Machine Software

• In the project view, right-click on CP505_A and select Create Machine Software.
• In the dialog:
  • Choose Build target image and simulation.
  • Set a destination folder of your choice.
• Click Create to begin generating the image.

5. Start the Simulation

After the image is successfully created, you can start the simulation in one of two ways:

Option 1: From the Image Folder

• Navigate to the destination folder you selected.
• Inside the CP505_A folder (or your custom name), run SimulationStarter.exe to launch the simulation.

Option 2: From Flexcore

• In Flexcore 4.10, go to the top menu:
  Tools → Simulation → Start From Path
• Browse and select the CP505_A folder to start the simulation.

6. Verify Simulation is Running

• Open DevAdmin for the simulated PLC’s IP address.
• Log in to confirm the simulation is active and functioning correctly.

7. Connect via T70 Panel

• Launch the T70 panel on your PC.
• Connect it to the simulated PLC’s IP address to interact with the system.

Running the Visual Interface (Visu)

8. Set Up Environment Variables

• In the frontend folder of the Visu code (from GitLab dev branch), create a file named .env with the following content: VITE_KEBA_API_TARGET_IP='IP_OF_PLC_TO_BE_FILLED'

9. Start the Visu Application

• Open a terminal in the frontend folder and run the following commands:
  npm install # Run this once to install or update dependencies
npm run dev --host # Starts the development server
• After starting, a local IP address will be displayed. Open it in your browser to access the PLC Visu interface.
