pip install pymcprotocolpymcprotocol supports only mcprotocol 3E type and test by QPLC.
4E type is implemented. But not tested.
1C~4C type is not suuported.
- Q Series
- L Series
- QnA Series
- iQ-L Series
- iQ-R Series
A and FX series are not supportted because they does not support 3E or 4E type.
You need to open PLC's port for mcprotocol by GxWorks2 or GxWorks3 software.
- Set IP address for PLC
- Open TCP port of PLC
- Set the port for mcprotocol.
- Restart PLC

- If you select ascii type communiation,
you also need to set "ascii" mode in setaccessopt method. (default is "bainary" mode) - If you would like to write data in PLC, you have to enable online change

pymcprotocol does not support entire MC protocol since it is very complicated and troublesome.
