plc-comm-slmp 2.0.0

SLMP Connect Python: client library for MELSEC SLMP binary communication

MELSEC SLMP for Python

Python library for MELSEC SLMP (Binary 3E/4E) PLC communication.

PLC Comm Family

This library is part of the plc-comm family. See the package matrix for protocol, language, registry, and install-command mapping.

Supported PLC profiles

The maintained profile table is in PLC profiles. Choose one exact canonical PLC profile from that table.

Sync and async clients use strict_profile=True by default. With a selected profile, operations known to be unavailable for that PLC are rejected before sending. Set strict_profile=False only for deliberate verification where you want the PLC to answer directly. Point limits and read-only write policies are always enforced.

Supported device types

The maintained device and range tables are in the SLMP Profile Reference. Use that page for supported device families, address syntax, and profile-specific notes.

Installation

pip install plc-comm-slmp

Quick example

import asyncio
from slmp import SlmpConnectionOptions, open_and_connect, read_typed

async def main() -> None:
    options = SlmpConnectionOptions(host="192.168.250.100", port=1025, plc_profile="melsec:iq-r")
    async with await open_and_connect(options) as client:
        value = await read_typed(client, "D100", "U")
        print(f"D100={value}")

asyncio.run(main())
