A python library for io4edge devices

io4edge-client-python

python client sdk for io4edge.

io4edge devices are intelligent I/O devices invented by Ci4Rail, connected to the host via network.

This library provides support for the following function blocks within io4edge devices:

• Analog In TypeA - IOU01, MIO01
• Binary IO TypeA - IOU01, MIO01
• CAN Layer2 - IOU03, MIO03, IOU04, MIO04, IOU06
• MVB Sniffer - IOU03, MIO03
• Binary IO TypeB - IOU06
• Binary IO TypeC - IOU07

Currently not supported, but will follow:

• Motion Sensor - CPU01UC

Not planned: Support for io4edge management functions, such as firmware update. Please use io4edge-client-go for this.

pip3 install io4edge_client

Usage

See examples in github repo for usage examples.

Running in Docker

To run the examples in a docker container, you can use the provided Dockerfile in examples/docker directory.

In the Dockerfile, Replace dumpstream.py script with your python application path.

To build the docker image, run the following command on your host to build it for your target platform, in this case the target platform linux/arm64:

docker buildx build --platform linux/arm64  -f examples/docker/Dockerfile . --push -t <your-docker-image-name>:<version>

On your target platform, run the container in the host network, so that you can use the service names of the io4edge devices:

docker run --network=host <your-docker-image-name>:<version> <parameters-to-your-python-script>
