Show HN: Pyhoff – Connect Python ML Models to Beckhoff/WAGO IO Hardware
3 Saloc 0 7/9/2025, 11:33:09 AM github.com ↗
Built this Python package because I wanted to run hardware controlling ML stuff and other control algorithms directly connected to industrial I/O hardware without jumping into annoying PLC toolchains (Windows only, licensing hassle, no editor choice, proprietary version control - you name it). For sure its not for ms‑cycle loops, or uptime critical production stuff, but in applications with relaxed timing it allows for fast iteration on the setup - making prototyping a pleasure. Its easy to use, has no dependencies beside Python, its fully type annotated and MIT licensed. Internal it uses ModBus/TCP for hardware communication, the implementation is exposed, so it co-serves as ModBus/TCP client library.
I'd love to hear your use cases, feature ideas and PLC toolchain stories ;)
