pylogix - returning a tag list as a row of values about pylogix HOT 7 CLOSED

Fernando, my pylogix version is 0.8.14. i also have pylogix2 installed which is version 0.5.3. Assume I'm using pylogix and not pylogix2

if you are running your script and calling lower case value then you're running pylogix2 which we are not affiliated with nor support. I suggest you uninstall pylogix2 it was a rogue fork.

Also forgot to mention you might want to add a sleep in your while loop to prevent high cpu usage.

In your example ret is a list of Response objects. So, you'll need to return ret, then iterate again outside the run_script function just like you did inside the function.

def run_script():
    with PLC() as comm:
        comm.IPAddress = 'xx.xx.xx.xx'
        ret = comm.Read(list)

    for r in ret:
        print(r.Value)

    return ret

while True:
    y = run_script()
    for r in y:
        print(r.Value)

Alternatively, you can create a new integer list:

def run_script():
    int_ret = [] 
    with PLC() as comm:
        comm.IPAddress = 'xx.xx.xx.xx'
        ret = comm.Read(list)

    for r in ret:
        print(r.Value)
        int_ret.append(r.Value)

    return int_ret

while True:
    y = run_script()
    print(y)

Also note that this library Response object is upper case Value, not value. You might be using the wrong package. What's your pylogix version?

Hi, Fernando. Thank you :) I've uninstalled pylogix2 and added a 5 sec sleep. Just one last thing - r.value as mentioned by yourself is a list of response objects. How do I store this list as a row of integer values e.g. [50, 10, 25, 22].

I might use the append method.

Fernando, the append function seems to work. Thank you again for getting me on track with my issue :)
