How can we install this for a Virtual computer that is unable to touch the internet? Meaning, we have computers that are on a mosaic network that do not have the ability to reach the internet. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You're welcome, thanks for the comment. I'm not entirely sure if there's a python package for plc sim. I usually use softlogix or emulator when I don't have access to a plc. I recommend looking into ccw for micro800 it has a free simulator and it works for pylogix last time I heard.
Hi Joaquin, I can't remember if pylogix can read multiple dimensions, all I ever read is one dim. Please post question on the repo or discord. github.com/dmroeder/pylogix
Hey you're welcome. Unfortunately emulator doesn't do ethernet ip communications. However it should be possible to run emulator to opc, but at that point you don't need pylogix.
This is great and detailed tutorial, how about for the latest studio 5000 logix emulate? How the link will work since there's no ip add and port involbe
Thanks. Unfortunately pylogix inner workings are strictly with etherip, so you'll need a ethernet module or plc that supports ethernet. This will not work with emulators, however it does work with Softlogix 5800, I'm not sure if latest Studio5k has softlogix. Another option and I haven't tested much tbh is to install ccw12 for micro800 plc it has a simulator that works but there are some bugs in the simulator.
DDE won't work with pylogix. Is a shame a multimillion dollar company can't produce a decent emulator with ethernet support but I'm sure they do it to sell you Softlogix. I come from Siemens background and Step7 sim could do pretty much everything like a real plc.
Wasn't exactly planning on making a 02. Have you looked on the examples provided in the repo? What other usage were you looking for? Also sorry for the late reply. I normally get emails notifications but didn't get one for your comment for some odd reason.
@@TheFern2 Well in the application I'm using this for, we are wanting to pull data from a database and then write a 1 to a bool in the PLC to start a process. We are building a unmanned RV park. Customers get a barcode when the get their confirmation email, that barcode when scanned at the entry gate will allow entry, and when scanned at the bathrooms/laundry. It begins a timer for the duration of the rental, and when that timer is done, it turns off power to their site. When the barcode is scanned it basically just checks to see if the tag we set as (RV[0].1) is a 1 or a 0, to allow or deny access. That tag needs to be able to be written to the PLC from the Pi. Does your -- result = comm.Read('RV[0].1') work the same in the other direction? -- result = comm.Write('RV[0].1')? what is the syntax for writing data to the PLC? We also need to write an integer into a Counter, so we need to write a couple different kinds of data types to the PLC. Thanks for your help.
Please have a look at the examples in the repo github.com/dmroeder/pylogix Write is pretty straightforward too, tag + value, Write(tag, value) So once you have a PLC object then all you need to do is: comm.Write('some_tag', 1)

Hi, please refer to the repo readme there are manual install instructions about midway. Cheers! github.com/dmroeder/pylogix
ConnectionResetError: [WinError 10054] An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host..plz help me out
im using bachmann so they said pylogix not support tell idea
i want to read PLC data
hey there please open issue on github repository github.com/dmroeder/pylogix
Hello, can we use pylogix with PLCs other than Rockwell ? I need to read data real time from an OMRON PLC
Hi, this library only works for what the repo readme says.
Thanks for the video! Are you able to make offline edits (read/write values) to an ACD file from python with pylogix?
Thanks for this tutorial. It's a great tutorial
Thankx for detail explanation.I Is there any python package from which I can simulate it using virtual PLC

Good morning! Could you help me with reading a matrix. It is a two-dimensional TAG [10] [3]. I can read from one dimension
TAG2 [5]. Thank you..

Thanks for tutorial.
Is it possible to read the values of PLC from studio 5000 emulator using Python.
Hey you're welcome. Unfortunately emulator doesn't do ethernet ip communications. However it should be possible to run emulator to opc, but at that point you don't need pylogix.
Good video, thanks a lot
Glad you liked it. 🙂

@@TheFern2the latest studio there's no softlogix unfortunately 😔, maybe DDE?

@@TheFern2 thanks for the reply, I'll try to follow your video maybe in the future you will feature
Do you have a Pylogix Module Usage 02? Thanks for your videos, very informative and necessary in my industry.

Hi, @Kodaman, Is it necessary to have Rslinx installed?
Hi Octavio, no it's not necessary to install rslinx.
