Fully connect to a MicroLogix1100 in UBUNTU Py3.6.7, but not on an WINDOWS server.

[lcflorindo]

Hi, as I said, I was fully able to use pycomm 1.0.8 to read from my MicroLogix1100 on a 3.6.7 Python, but when I tried to deploy/reply into an Windows AWS with same py/libs versions it just doesn't work. Btw, another thing that I tried is change to a wrong/non-plc ip, and it runs the normal timeout error.

What is the relation about OS? Cause I got a similar error on Linux Suse12 as well... There is any incompatibility about how I code the IP Address or something?

Code:

from pycomm.ab_comm.slc import Driver as SlcDriver
import logging
plc = SlcDriver()
ip = '10.11.12.123'
plc.open(ip)
strr = str(plc.read_tag("N7:0/1"))
plc.close()
print(strr)

Error:
