Experimental Physics and
Industrial Control System

Hi, Peter,

One more question, as I need to connect to PLC too. Could you also give me a guideline, or where I can find related documents on how to connect to PLC? Take Simens 1200 for example.

Thanks.

I would try the standard epics Channel Access CA tools eg

https://epics.anl.gov/base/R3-14/12-docs/CAref.html#caget

from the command line
caget root:ai2

or

camonitor root:ai2

If that doesn't work, your problem is not pyepics, but CA in general.
Could be firewall or name resolution issue.

https://epics.anl.gov/base/R3-14/12-docs/CAref.html#firewall
https://epics.anl.gov/base/R3-14/12-docs/CAref.html#EPICS
EPICS_CA_ADDR_LIST=ip-addr

Cheers

Peter
