Writing to the force mask tags within Studio 5000
Hey, I was wondering if there was a way to use the API to access the force masks in Studio 5000. I got the library connected to an Allen Bradley plc and successfully wrote values, but I want to be able to force values to certain parts using Python and can't figure it reading the documentation so far.
Thanks in advance!
Interesting, I'm not sure if that is possible. I just checked in wireshark and I think I found the requests, but I haven't actually trying to decode the message. I will take a closer look at it later to see if it's something I can add. It's not part of the CIP spec so it would require reverse engineering, I've had success with doing it for some features but failed for others.
I seriously appreciate it. I've been lookin for this feature in multiple different libraries (even non-python ones) and haven't found much success in finding this feature. I know it's possible because I've used software that successfully performed force masks using code, I just can't for the life of me find out how. Let me know your findings, you have my eternal gratitude!
@gary-hsu forces require a privileged connection. If implemented, forces would only work on v19 and below of control logix.
