Unable to read float value from a PLC address

from pymodbus.client.sync import ModbusTcpClient
import struct

ip_address = "192.168.1.55"

client = ModbusTcpClient(ip_address)
if client.connect(): # connection is OK
# write float
#builder = BinaryPayloadBuilder(endian=Endian.Little)
#builder.add_32bit_float(77.77)
#payload = builder.build()
#result = client.write_registers(1, payload, skip_encode=True)
# read floats
result = client.read_holding_registers(28, 2)

decoder = BinaryPayloadDecoder.fromRegisters(result.registers,
endian=Endian.Big)


print str(decoder.decode_32bit_float())
client.close()
var1 = str(decoder.decode_32bit_float())


I m using PyModbus library to read float values from a PLC . I m getting right value from str(decoder.decode_32bit_float()) but failed to put it into a variable var1. It shows error (in decode 32 bit float return unpack(string, handle)[0] struct.error: unpack requires a string argument of length 4).
Thanks in advance

    ever worked with streams? when you read a stream - f.e. by printing its str(). it is empty afterward because you are past the data in it ... unless more data comes in its empty and can not deliver more. Try var1 = decoder.decode_32bit_float() first , then print(var1) - dont use str unless you need a string.

  • Thought so :) maybe delete it before it gets too many downvotes. Its the same for filestreams etc - once you read from it you are past the data you just read. Or selfanswer
