ioddcomchecker 1.9.2

IoddCom IO-Link master checker

This is the CLI for checking your IO-Link masters working with Siogeen IoddCom.

If you want using a GUI see IoddComCheckerGui

Install

Use pip to install IoddComChecker:

>>> pip install IoddComChecker

In case of dependency problems, please use a virtual environment, see https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html

USB IO-Link masters:

• Linux and Raspberry Pi

  For Linux and Raspberry Pi udev rules and dialout group need to be installed. Please install this script as root or sudo user: https://siogeen.com/scripts/install_udev_rules.sh

  Please check the script to have SHA256 hash: https://siogeen.com/scripts/install_udev_rules.sh.sha256

  For searching ethernet based masters, the permission for sending ping ICMP packets is needed, if an exception is displayed in the console, see here how to fix: https://github.com/ValentinBELYN/icmplib/blob/main/docs/6-use-icmplib-without-privileges.md

• Windows

  The respective master serial driver shipped by the vendor needs to be installed

• macOS

  Unfotunately most USB masters cann not be recognized by macOS. If your USB master is not detected, contact us or consider using Windows or Linux.

Usage

To start a scan execute on the console:

>>> python -m siogeen.tools.cli.IoddComChecker

Command line options

>>> IoddComChecker [-h] [-a ADDRESS] [--auto] [-s SELECT] [--verbose VERBOSE] [--version]

-h, --help

show this help message and exit

-a ADDRESS, --address ADDRESS

specify one or more master addresses (default all)

--auto

activate master ports if all are disabled

-s SELECT, --select SELECT

select specific master types: ETH (ethernet) or USB

--verbose VERBOSE

verbosity 0..3

--version

print version

Example

>>> IoddComChecker -a 10.0.0.17 -a 10.0.0.19 --auto

io-Fly based masters (io-Fly, Baumer SensControl)

Not supported masters:

• Baumer USB-C masters

• RevolutionPi RevPi masters

• Pepperl & Fuchs comtrol masters

• Germbedded masters

• TEConcept masters

Support for them or other masters on request.
