Generic Messaging Help

[mikeadkins]

I am attempting to use Pycomm3 with a Japanese PLC brand called Toyopuc. I have gotten the reading of data working properly with generic messaging but am having trouble with the sending of data. I keep getting an error in the log stating: Generic message 'generic' failed: Insufficient command data. Would anyone have any idea as to what is happening? Thanks for any help you can provide.

What does your tag structure look like in the PLC?

Also see #279

[mikeadkins]

Toyopuc does not use Tags. All of the data is mapped to what they call 'Link Bits'. L000-L01F. I have 2 bytes for assembly 100 and 2 bytes for assembly 101. I have used another device (Omron ERT1 remote I/O) and it works. I receive an INT that has the data for the 16 bits of each assembly.

[Colt-H]

Specifically, the insufficient command data is telling you that the requested service didn't supply enough data for the requested operation.

Are you supplying it with two bytes in request_data?

len(b'\x0f')

Returns 1.

[mikeadkins]

I wasn't but I am now. I believe it is in the PLC side. If I monitor with Wireshark it does show success with set_attribute_single and it shows the data I sent (0x0a for this example).

I did find in the Toyopuc manual the following comment regarding Transport Class. It supports Class 1 and Class 3 is not supported. I do not know enough about this subject to say if that is the problem.

Also if I do a get_attribute_single on the same assembly 101 after the set I can see the data I sent, but it never shows up in the PLC monitor. This brand of PLC is very outdated and only used in one auto manufacturer who also owns the PLC company so it wouldn't surprise me if it doesn't work. Thanks.

If it's not showing on the monitor, you could try linking the bit to a counter. Maybe it only goes high for 1 scan.

I'm not very familiar with the Pycomm tool, I've just found it today and started reading up on some functionality, BUT I work for one of those auto manufacturers that owns the PLC company. To the point, I have configured a few Toyopuc PC10G to communicate with AB Compact logix using the generic ethernet module in Logix Designer, I have not had success with the assembly instances of 100/101 and have had to use 101/151. The 101 for output throws an error in Logix Designer of "output instance invalid." Do you have to configure the instance and addressing in PCwin (Toyopuc configuration software.)
