read_ny_name problem

[twoway]

Hi
I hope to get some help with this problem.

I have a working connection to PLC and can read info.
When i do this i get correct answer:
pprint.pprint(device.read_by_name('METERS._EM01_I_MAX_PV', REAL)) ##This works
when i do this i get fault below:
pprint.pprint(device.read_by_name(tag_names[4], tag_types[4]))
if i replace tag_types[4] with REAL i get no error...

Hi @twoway, it looks like the value of your variable tag_types[4] is not equal to the value of your variable REAL. The error message suggests that tag_types[4] has a different data type than expected.

A good next step for debugging this might be to find out the exact content of tag_types[4], maybe using a debugger or using print:

print type(tag_types[4])
print tag_types[4]
