Welcome to PySOEM’s documentation!
PySOEM enables basic system testing of EtherCAT slave devices with Python.
PySOEM is a wrapper around the Simple Open EtherCAT Master (SOEM). Unlike plain C Library wrappers, PySOEM tries to provide an API that can already be used in a more pythonic way.
One of the simplest examples to get a EtherCAT network up looks like this.
import pysoem
master = pysoem.Master()
master.open('Your network adapters ID')
if master.config_init() > 0:
for device in master.slaves:
print(f'Found Device {device.name}')
else:
print('no device found')
master.close()
With this script the name of every device in the network will be printed.
