Pylogix does not have an Adapter class to my knowledge, on which example did you see Adapter being imported?

• What are you trying to do?

[dmroeder]

Pylogix does have an Adapter class, but only in the experimental branch. Since this is not in the main branch, you must download the project from here on GH, then switch to the experimental branch.

Ah ooppss, sorry for the wrong information, wasn't aware of it until now.

Hi,
Thanks for very much for quick responses. I tried the above suggestions and finally this issue looks fine but I am still unable to communicate with PLC. I am still facing below issues -

1. Unable to restore L5X file to ACD.
   

2. I tried to incorporate L5X changes to my test project but still no connectivity with adapter
   
   Can you please provide the ACD file with example..?

[dmroeder]

The L5X is the I/O adapter, not a complete program. You would import it into the I/O tree of your existing program.

I tried to import L5X IO adapter as ENBT child module. I made some correction to add as a remote child module of ENBT. My project IO tree have adaptor module as above.
Please let me know if I did anything wrong..?

[dmroeder]

Logix is probably being picky because I exported the module from a CompactLogix. I'm guessing that it doesn't like importing to the ENBT. Your image above doesn't tell me how you configured the module. The example expects that you configured it like the image:
https://github.com/dmroeder/pylogix/blob/experimental/examples/100_simple_adapter.png

The adapter in the I/O tree needs the IP address of the machine that will be running the pylogix adapter. And your adapter script needs to be configured for your ENBT's IP address. If that is not working, post a screenshot of your I/O adapter configuration, you exact python script and your IP adddresses.

Hi, When i tried to import L5X to my project file, its giving error of parent module

I believe adapter cant be added as Local, so I changed the parent module properties in L5X file and import again as child of ENBT

I used same IP address as per example and used same script to run the adapter

Still PLC and Adapter unable to connect...

[dmroeder]

As I mentioned, Logix is not letting you import the module because it is terrible. I had the module in a CompactLogix, you have a ControlLogix, it is not smart enough to disregard that difference, unfortunately :)

Is your computer's network adapter configured for the IP Address 192.168.1.23? Is your ENBT's IP Address 192.168.1.10?

[meenavinod]

Yes, IP is same as above. Its able to detect hostname correctly ...

[dmroeder]

Can you capture it via wireshark and email the result to me?

I do have a ControlLogix and ENBT, though I won't be able to test until Friday.

Edit: My instinct is that there is some confusion on network adapters, I'd probably try disabling all unnecessary adapters. When you run your script, is there any error or any feedback?

[meenavinod]

[dmroeder]

Is your script running in that instance? All I see is list identity, which is not pylogix, it is probably RSLinx. To minimize wireshark traffic, shut down RSLinx and LogixDesigner. Run Wireshark, run your script.

Edit: Wait, why does your generic adapter report that is a Rockwell device? Something else is going on here, like another Rockwell device at the .23 address? The pylogix adapter has not implemented the services that would respond to the request that the module info tab would send.

[meenavinod]

Without RS Linx and Adapter Script running
