This is a beta release for the new V1 release. This release is intended only for test purposes and as a draft for the stable 1.0.0 release.

Major Changes:

  • new type system, removed the Pack and Unpack helper classes
    • old: Pack.uint(100) -> new: UINT.encode(100)
    • types as classes that can encode and decode any elementary or structured data type
    • when parsing the tag list a type is created for every tag to encode or decode their value
    • can create custom types for any struct, array, etc
    • replaces the data_format arg for generic messaging
    • TODO: full documentation on how to use types. Examples have been updated for now.
  • Internal package structure changed, may break imports if not importing from top level package
  • Lots of refactoring, decoupling, etc improvements internally, helping improve testability
  • added a configure_default_logger method for simple logging setup
  • packet contents are now logged with a custom VERBOSE log level
    • removed the RequestPacket.VERBOSE_DEBUG option used previously
    • improved the packet formatting too to look similar to wireshark
  • [BREAKING] generic_message now uses the new type system. The data_format arg was replaced with data_type.
  • added new discover() method to discover Ethernet/IP devices on the local network

LogixDriver

  • upload of program scoped tags is now on by default, use init_program_tags=False in initializer to disable.
  • removed the init_info and micro800 init args, also removed the use_instance_ids property
    • feature selection is all automatic now, if it needs to be customized, subclass and overwrite the _initialize_driver method
