Hilo everyone.

We use a lot of 1734 hardware.

Routine task is checking port statistics.

This takes awhile and is tedious.

Is it possible to get this data via python?

Also does anyone know of good resources of for working with rs logix using python?

Thanks guys.
 
Duplex, speed, and the media counters.

I'd think GSV with correct syntax would do it. But since you ask for using Python, why not do an http request and extract the info from the its response. Or you can use open socket to port 80, and use GET / and extract the info
 
You're not going to find any Python scripting of RS 5000 that I know of

What is GSV?




but yeah just scraping the http page would probably be the easiest.


you could also use https://github.com/pjkundert/cpppo if that stuff is available from the Ethernet CIP interface, But http is probably the better approach.

Dustin (dmroeder) has developed a python script to read a Control/Compact Logix, he's posted it here before. Others exist as well.

You could probably have the PLC read the port statistics by using a GSV instruction and then use Dustin's pylogix (or another such tool) to read it from the PLC. Of course, once you've read it into the PLC, that may not be necessary any more - or else there may be a way to bypass the PLC and do it directly with python as well as BachPhi suggests
 
Thanks guys for taking the time to help me, it's much appreciated.

Web scraping would be easy for me, but was wondering if there's a better way to do it.

I looked through some documents for GSVs and dont see values for port stats.

Are there GSVs for ethernet statistics?
