Can pylogix read Micro800 program Tags?

10062244 opened this issue · comments

Hello,
Ive been trying to read some program tags out of a Micro800 program with no luck. I can read read controller scope tags fine. Is there a change in the syntax when reading from a Micro800 program vs a controllogix program? I did the Program:programName.tagName scheme. Also, the GetProgramsList function doesnt seem to work either for my Micro.

Thanks

Hi, you can only read global variables (controller scope) on micro800. Best I can suggest is that you write a program where you transfer all the data you want from each program into global variables.

Rockwell doesn't provide a documented way to read local variables. Also, the Micro8xx series doesn't support a lot of the services that the Logix platform supports. These features only work with the Logix platform, it's a limitation of the Micro8xx.
