Read/write variables Profibus: memory overlap

[arpm92]

Hello,

I am currently facing a problem while configuring the RevPi and working with RevPiModIO in Python 3.7.

I have created a class which initialize itself and set some of the variables to float type (as seen here: viewtopic.php?t=1576).

My configuration in PiCtory is the following:

Bildschirmfoto 2021-11-04 um 17.37.58.png (373.59 KiB) Viewed 6756 times

However, when running my class it got the following error:

Bildschirmfoto 2021-11-04 um 17.39.24.png (70.07 KiB) Viewed 6756 times

Is there any step I missed as to solve the problem and avoid the memory overlap?

Note: I am not quite experienced working with the RevPi and I did not find further information in the forum.

Thanks in advance!

My code would be:

Code: Select all

import revpimodio2 as revpi2

class RevPi_Inputs:
    def __init__(self) -> None:
        self.I_capture = None

        self.rpi.io.background = prog_status.background
        
        print("Data written in module")

    def read_inputs(self):
        print('Reading module inputs...')
        self.inputs.I_capture = self.rpi.io.I_capture.value

        return self.inputs

Hi arpm92,

Please have a look at the Python format characters for struct: https://docs.python.org/3/library/struc ... characters. You use float (f) as datatype as the format character which claims 4 bytes in the process image, but from your pictory config is looks like you only reserve a WORD (2 BYTE) for this. Therefore revpimodio2 is not able to this. If you have a float which fits into 2 BYTES, you can try to use e as format character.

Hi NicolaiB,

Thanks a lot. Such a silly mistake from my side. It works fine now.

Best regards,

Hi Alejandro,

Glad to hear that I was able to point you into the right direction. I can't find anything silly about this. It's all about learning
