BrandonP (Customer) asked a question.
Im not sure whether Im setting the command messages correctly. I do get a connection but no feedback. currently just trying to read firmware P.0.000
DEVICE_IP = "192.168.3.20"
DEVICE_PORT = 44818 # Ethernet/IP port
object_class = b'\x03\x00' # Object class = 0x300
instance = b'\x03' # Instance = 0x03
attribute = b'\x00' # Attribute = 0x00
explicit_message = object_class, instance,attribute
# Create a socket connection
try:
with socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) as sock:
sock.connect((DEVICE_IP, DEVICE_PORT))
print("Connected to the device.")
# Send the Explicit Message
sock.send(explicit_message)
print("Explicit Message sent successfully.")
print(explicit_message)
# Receive response
response = sock.recv(1024)
print(f"Response: {response}")
print(response)
Not familiar with Python but are you using an EtherNet/IP library? This should help with a lot of the setup for the configuration of the messaging via EtherNet/IP. If not, then there is more setup required. I have attached a Wireshark capture that should help provide the information needed to aid in your coding. Otherwise, it is beyond my scope to help provide further assistance. Hope this helps!

I’ve been handling message automation for a client, and using the whatsapp business api made things way smoother since it works with simple HTTP calls and doesn’t sneak in per-message fees. The quick QR onboarding was a lifesaver, and the webhooks helped me catch incoming messages without extra setup. If you’re building anything with chat or notifications, it keeps the whole process pretty hassle-free.
