# pyhoff
## Description
The pyhoff package allows you to read and write the most common
Beckhoff and WAGO bus terminals ("Busklemmen") using the Ethernet bus
coupler ("Busskoppler") BK9000, BK9050, BK9100, or WAGO 750_352
over Ethernet TCP/IP based on ModBus TCP.
### Key Features
- Supports a wide range of Beckhoff and WAGO analog and digital bus
terminals.
- Very lightweight: no dependencies; compact code base
- Easy to extend
- Using standardized ModBus TCP.
- Provides high-level abstractions for reading and writing data
from/to IO-terminals with minimal code
### Usage Scenarios
- Industrial test setups.
- Research automation setups.
- Data acquisition and monitoring.
## Installation
The package has no additional decencies. It can be installed with pip:
```bash
pip install pyhoff
```
## Usage
It is easy to use as the following example code shows:
```python
from pyhoff.devices import *
# connect to the BK9050 by tcp/ip on default port 502
bus_coupler = BK9050("172.16.17.1")
# list of all bus terminals connected to the bus coupler
# in the order of the physical arrangement
terminal_list = [KL2404, KL2424, KL9100, KL1104, KL3202,
KL4002, KL9188, KL3054, KL3214, KL4004,
KL9010]
terminals = bus_coupler.add_bus_terminals(terminal_list)
# Set 1. output of the first bus terminal (KL2404) to hi
terminals[0].write_coil(1, True)
# read the temperature from the 2. channel of the 5. bus
# terminal (KL3202)
t = terminals[4].read_temperature(2)
print(f"t = {t:.1f} °C")
# Set 1. output of the 6. bus terminal (KL4002) to 4.2 V
terminals[5].set_voltage(1, 4.2)
```
## Contributing
Other analog and digital IO terminals are easy to complement. Contributions are welcome!

## Developer Guide
To get started with developing the `pyhoff` package, follow these steps:
1. **Clone the Repository**
First, clone the repository to your local machine using Git:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/Nonannet/pyhoff.git
cd pyhoff
```
2. **Set Up a Virtual Environment**
It is recommended to use a virtual environment to manage dependencies. You can create one using `venv`:
```bash
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate # On Windows use `venv\Scripts\activate`
```
3. **Install Dev Dependencies**
Install the dependencies required for development using `pip`:
```bash
pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
```
4. **Run Tests**
Ensure that everything is set up correctly by running the tests:
```bash
pytest
```
