I try to install snap7 to communicate with s7-1200. I downloaded latest package (1.4.1) I cannot find dll that specified for 64 bit windows OS. I used pip3 command to install it and everything was fine.
I wrote this simple code with PyQt5 and snap7 library:
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
# Form implementation generated from reading ui file 'f.ui'
#
# Created by: PyQt5 UI code generator 5.11.3
#
# WARNING! All changes made in this file will be lost!
from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGui, QtWidgets
import snap7 as c
from snap7.util import *
from snap7.snap7types import *
class Ui_MainWindow(object):
def setupUi(self, MainWindow):
MainWindow.setObjectName("MainWindow")
MainWindow.resize(800, 600)
self.centralwidget = QtWidgets.QWidget(MainWindow)
self.centralwidget.setObjectName("centralwidget")
self.pushButton = QtWidgets.QPushButton(self.centralwidget)
self.pushButton.setGeometry(QtCore.QRect(280, 230, 75, 71))
self.pushButton.setObjectName("pushButton")
MainWindow.setCentralWidget(self.centralwidget)
self.menubar = QtWidgets.QMenuBar(MainWindow)
self.menubar.setGeometry(QtCore.QRect(0, 0, 800, 21))
self.menubar.setObjectName("menubar")
MainWindow.setMenuBar(self.menubar)
self.statusbar = QtWidgets.QStatusBar(MainWindow)
self.statusbar.setObjectName("statusbar")
MainWindow.setStatusBar(self.statusbar)
self.retranslateUi(MainWindow)
QtCore.QMetaObject.connectSlotsByName(MainWindow)
def retranslateUi(self, MainWindow):
_translate = QtCore.QCoreApplication.translate
MainWindow.setWindowTitle(_translate("MainWindow", "MainWindow"))
self.pushButton.setText(_translate("MainWindow", "PushButton"))
if __name__ == "__main__":
import sys
plc = c.client.Client()
plc.connect('192.168.137.100',0,1)
app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
MainWindow = QtWidgets.QMainWindow()
ui = Ui_MainWindow()
ui.setupUi(MainWindow)
MainWindow.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
When i added plc = c.Client() and another snippets that contains "plc" i am getting this error : Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Python\Lib\site-packages\snap7\f.py", line 43, in <module>
plc = c.client.Client()

Do you have any solution or way to eliminate this? I cannot understand the point or points that i missed.
Regards.
