📦 version 3.0.0, in ubuntu stonking

💖 NAME 💖

snap7-server — start a lil dummy Siemens S7 PLC server emulator, no cap ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

snap7-server [OPTIONS]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so bestie, listen. snap7-server is a command-line utility that comes with the python-snap7 library, and it's literally the main character of your local testing setup. 💅

It spins up a pure Python S7 server emulator that mimics a Siemens S7 PLC (that's a Programmable Logic Controller, iykyk) so you can do testing, local simulation, and development stuff without needing any actual hardware. no dusty rack of industrial gear required, we're thriving off vibes alone 🫶

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -p, --port PORT — the TCP port the server will listen on. (default: 1102). yes that's the real default, write it down 🎀
  • -v, --verbose — turn on verbose output, which prints the full internal debug-level log messages straight to your terminal. it's giving "tell me everything", and honestly? valid. 👑
  • --version — show the version of python-snap7 and dip. ✌️
  • -h, --help — show a summary of all the options and bounce. the ultimate cheat sheet fr fr 💖
