1.3. Communication Examples

1.3.1. Python Example

In this example it is shown how to establish a simple socket communication with the module and request its firmware version (see VER Command).

#!/usr/bin/env python3

import socket

IP = "192.168.0.10"

try:
    # Create sockets
    s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)     # TCP
    s.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_REUSEADDR, 1)
    s.connect((IP, 10001))

    # Set psw
    print("Get Version")
    s.sendall("VER:?\r\n".encode())      
    data = s.recv(2048).decode()
    print(repr(data))

    # Close socket
    s.close()

except :
    print("Error: Error in communication with the module")

1.3.2. Putty Example

Putty it is a free telnet client that is available for both Windows and Linux OS. Putty allows to send commands to the power unit and receive the relative replies.

To establish the communication socket with the unit, it is necessary to configure Putty in the following way:

• insert the IP address of the unit,

• set the communication port to 10001

• set the connection type to Raw.

Once the configuration has been completed, it is possible to send the ASCII command directly to the unit:
