STRIDE-driver

a driver/reader for Stride thermocouple modules

To use, include the StrideClient.py file in your project. The output of this code is a list of thermocouples 1-8.

Installation

pip install StrideModbusDriver

Usage

Import the class with:

from StrideModbusDriver.StrideClient import StrideClient

Example

# Import the StrideClient class from the library
from StrideModbusDriver.StrideClient import StrideClient

def main():
    # Initialize the StrideClient with the host IP address
    modbus_device = StrideClient(host="192.168.1.126")
    # Make the units Celsius
    modbus_device.write_units('C')

    try:
        # Call the read_firmware function and store the result
        result = modbus_device.read_temps()
        # Print the result of the read_firmware function
        print(f"{result}")
    except Exception as e:
        # Print an error message if reading fails
        print(f"Error reading firmware version: {e}")


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

With one thermocouple attached to input 1, and the thermocouple in free air, the output will be:

[23.3, 1421.1, 1421.1, 1421.1, 1421.2, 1421.2, 1421.3, 1421.3]

Changing thermocouple type

The thermocouple type is set by the set_input_type method. For example, setting input 0 to a 'K' type thermocouple will be:

'''python modbus_device.set_input_type(0, 'K') ''''

Supported thermocouple types are:

• Disabled
• Voltage
• K
• J
• R
• S
• T
• B
• E
• N

Configuring Stride devices

Good luck. The Stride devices are only controllable through Ethernet. There's information written on the units themselves. If you change the IP address, please change the label.
