Build Date: January 6, 2025
Version: 0.3.0
Status: 🟢 PRODUCTION READY
- Problem: Examples were hanging indefinitely and not completing
- Root Cause: Missing timeouts in
send_cip_request
method - Solution: Added 10-second timeouts with proper error handling
- Result: All examples now complete successfully
- Problem: String reads returning "Unknown service reply: 0x00"
- Root Cause: Missing
extract_cip_from_response
call inread_tag
method - Solution: Proper CIP response extraction before parsing
- Result: String reads now work perfectly:
✅ Read TestString = String("1")
- Updated:
send_cip_request
with correct command codes (0x6F, 0x00) - Updated:
extract_cip_from_response
with proper CPF parsing - Updated: Error handling and timeout management
- Result: Robust, production-ready networking
