FUXA

FUXA is a web-based Process Visualization (SCADA/HMI/Dashboard) software. With FUXA you can create modern process visualizations with individual designs for your machines and real-time data display.

Features

• Devices connectivity with Modbus RTU/TCP, Siemens S7 Protocol, OPC-UA, BACnet IP, MQTT, Ethernet/IP (Allen Bradley), ODBC, ADSclient, Gpio (Raspberry), WebCam, MELSEC, Redis
• SCADA/HMI Web-Editor - Engineering and Design completely web-based
• Cross-Platform Full-Stack - Backend with NodeJs and Frontend with Web technologies (HTML5, CSS, Javascript, Angular, SVG)

Live Demo

Here is a live demo example of FUXA editor.

Installing and Running

FUXA is developed with NodeJS (backend) and Angular (frontend).

See the Wiki for more details about installing and getting started

Wiki Installing/Building

1° Option - Running from docker

docker pull frangoteam/fuxa:latest
docker run -d -p 1881:1881 frangoteam/fuxa:latest

// persistent storage of application data (project), daq (tags history), logs and images (resource)
docker run -d -p 1881:1881 -v fuxa_appdata:/usr/src/app/FUXA/server/_appdata -v fuxa_db:/usr/src/app/FUXA/server/_db -v fuxa_logs:/usr/src/app/FUXA/server/_logs -v fuxa_images:/usr/src/app/FUXA/server/_images frangoteam/fuxa:latest

// with Docker compose
// persistent storage will be at ./appdata ./db ./logs and ./images
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/frangoteam/FUXA/master/compose.yml
docker compose up -d

Open up a browser (better Chrome) and navigate to http://localhost:1881

2° Option - Install from source

Download the latest release and unpack it

You need to have installed Node.js

• Recommended: Node.js 18 LTS

Note Starting from FUXA 1.2.7, Node.js 14 and older versions are not supported due to upstream dependency updates.

WARNING On Linux systems (especially Raspberry Pi), installing native dependencies with Node.js 18 may require additional build tools. If you do not intend to use specific features, you can safely remove them from server/package.json:

• Remove node-snap7 if you do not need Siemens S7 communication
• Remove odbc if you do not need external database connectivity

cd ./server
npm install
npm start

Open up a browser (better Chrome) and navigate to http://localhost:1881

3° Option - Install from NPM

You need to have installed Node.js

• Recommended: Node.js 18 LTS

WARNING In linux with nodejs Version 18 the installation could be a challenge. If you don't intend communicate with Siemens PLCs via S7 (node-snap7 library) you can install from NPM @frangoteam/fuxa-min

npm install -g --unsafe-perm @frangoteam/fuxa
fuxa

Open up a browser (better Chrome) and navigate to http://localhost:1881

4° Option - Install using prebuilt Electron Packages

You will need to be logged into github to access the download button for Electron Action Builds, click on the workflow and scroll down to Artifacts and click the download icon for you system

Electron Action Builds

Creating the Electron Application

Electron is a framework for building cross-platform desktop applications using web technologies. An Electron application is standalone, meaning it can be run independently on your desktop without needing a web browser.

To create the Electron application, you need to have node.js 18 installed. Follow these steps:

Build Server and Client First

cd ./server
npm install
cd ../client
npm install
npm run build

Packaging

cd ./app
npm install
npm run package

After following these steps, you will have a standalone Electron application for FUXA. The application can be found in the ./app directory.

Community SVG Widgets

Looking for ready-made, reusable SVG widgets? Check out the companion repository FUXA-SVG-Widgets:

• Repository: https://github.com/frangoteam/FUXA-SVG-Widgets
• Authoring guide & examples: see the repo README and the Wiki page: https://github.com/frangoteam/FUXA/wiki/HowTo-Widgets

To Debug (Full Stack)

Install and start to serve the frontend

cd ./client
npm install
npm start

Start the Server and Client (Browser) in Debug Mode

In vscode: Debug ‘Server & Client’

To Build

Build the frontend for production

cd ./client
ng build --configuration=production

Contributing

Any contributions you make are greatly appreciated. If you identify any errors, or have an idea for an improvement, please open an issue. But before filing a new issue, please look through already existing issues. Search open and closed issues first.

Non-code contributions are also highly appreciated, such as improving the documentation or promoting FUXA on social media.

Pull-Requests

If you want to raise a pull-request with a new feature, or a refactoring of existing code please first open an issue explaining the problem.

1. Fork the Project
2. Create your Feature Branch (git checkout -b feature/AmazingFeature)
