Visutech System provides RPC Server within the MDK package that allows to communicate with VS EtherCAT Master remotely.
To start RPC Server, the rpcserver.dll is run with connection parameters (port and IP address) of Master. By default, the port 5000 is used. In case of Multimaster usage, different ports for each Master instances are set, for instance, Master1: port=5000, Master2: port=5001.
VS EtherCAT Studio attaches to Master via RPC Server. Also, it is possible to communicate with Master via RPC Server from the other applications, such as Python applications.
Python applications are useful to visualize some processes, to create a charts/diagrams or for online configuring.
With RPC Server, it is possible to use Python application to configure or diagnose VS EtherCAT Master.
Python version 3.9 is included in VS EtherCAT Python package. For details, refer to VS EtherCAT Python integration manual.
