Title pretty much as follows. The code is as follows:
vfds = ["Pmp1","Pmp2","Pmp3"]
# Define the paths to the run hours memory tags for each VFD
run_hour_tags = ["[default]Simulation/Index Test/Pmp{}".format(i+1) for i in range(3)]
# Define the paths to the index tags for each VFD (these should store the index values)
index_tags = ["[default]Simulation/Index Test/Pmp{}Index".format(i+1) for i in range(3)]
# Function to retrieve run hours for each VFD
def get_vfd_run_hours():
run_hours = {}
for i, vfd in enumerate(vfds):
# Read the run hours from the tag
run_hours_value = system.tag.readBlocking([run_hour_tags[i]])[0].value
run_hours[vfd] = run_hours_value
return run_hours
# Function to assign VFDs to unique indices based on their run hours
def assign_vfd_indices():
# Get run hours for all VFDs
run_hours = get_vfd_run_hours()
# Sort the VFDs by their run hours in descending order (most run hours last)
sorted_vfds = sorted(run_hours.keys(), key=lambda vfd: run_hours[vfd], reverse=False)
# Assign indices, starting at 1
vfd_indices = {}
for index, vfd in enumerate(sorted_vfds, start=1):
vfd_indices[vfd] = index
return vfd_indices
def write_vfd_indices_to_tags(vfd_indices):
for i, vfd in enumerate(vfds):
# Get the index for the current VFD
index_value = vfd_indices.get(vfd)
# Write the index value to the corresponding index tag
system.tag.writeBlocking([index_tags[i]], [index_value])
# Print the indices for each VFD
for vfd, index in vfd_indices.items():
print({vfd},"is assigned to index", {index})
# Example usage
vfd_indices = assign_vfd_indices()
# Write the indices to the index tags
write_vfd_indices_to_tags(vfd_indices)
And I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<TimerScript:APLD/Index @5,000ms >", line 47, in <module>

But this script works in the script console, but not in the gateway. I'm unsure of what the problem and the difference are? Same exact copy and paste between gateway and console. And yes I plan to when the gateway script works I will flush it out to the project library and just call on the functions
Many system.* functions work differently, or require different arguments, based on what scope they are called from.
The Designer Script Console is a derivative of Vision Scope, while Perspective events run in a derivative of Gateway Project Scope. Look at the documentation for differences in the functions you use.
(The designer script console is almost never the right tool for testing Perspective scripts. It is the right tool for testing Vision scripts.)

# Get the index for the current VFD
index_value = vfd_indices.get(vfd)
# Write the index value to the corresponding index tag
system.tag.writeBlocking([index_tags[i]], [index_value])

for vfd, index in vfd_indices.items():

When I copied your code it was all spaces, not tabs...
You sort of can, for different scopes. But maybe we shouldn't be telling people this.
So, it's been a while since I've refactored something, and that first post kinda awakened the itch. I believe this should do the same thing, assuming I understood what's going on.
from operator import itemgetter
vfds = ["Pmp1", "Pmp2", "Pmp3"]
run_hours_tags = ["[default]Simulation/Index Test/{}".format(vfd) for vfd in vfds]
vfds = sorted(
(
{
'name': vfd,
'hours': qval.value
} for vfd, qval in zip(vfds, system.tag.readBlocking(run_hours_tags))
),
key = itemgetter('hours')
)
index_tags = ["[default]Simulation/Index Test/{}Index".format(vfd['name']) for vfd in vfds]
system.tag.writeBlocking(index_tags, range(1, len(vfds)+1))
Side note:
{} in python means set or dict, depending on what you put inside. here are some examples of how you could print that instead:
print (vfd, "is assigned to index", index)
print "{} is assigned to {}".format(vfd, index)
print "{vfd} is assigned to {index}".format(vfd=vfd, index=index)
print vfd + " is assigned to " + index
print "%s is assigned to %d" % (vfd, index)
Side note 2:
I'd recommend not putting spaces in your tags names. Stick to valid python identifiers, basically alphanumerical values + underscores.
I'd even push it to anything that's not meant for the eye of your application's users: view names, components, db columns, everything.
I really appreciate everyone's input here. It looks like @pascal.fragnoud's genius is yet again unmatched and it works right out of the gate. I am taking scrupulous notes on your work from now on haha.
I was hoping the script console was going to be more useful for troubleshooting scripts so I wouldn't have to make edits to a script, then save, then wait for the script to run, then see if it fails and repeat as needed. Unless there is a way to clear values? But then it still doesn't have the same scope as a gateway event, right?
Nope, but nothing in this script uses "scope restricted" functions.
When you run into something that does have different behavior for different scopes, you can put the script in your library and call it from a button or something in your browser.
Use system.perspective.print to print to the dev tools console.
Or I believe you can call that script from a gateway event message handler, and send a message with system.util.sendMessage from the script console.
I didn't think that button actually reset the values as well I figured it only reset the output screen or right side results for some reason. I suppose it still sort of makes sense my script above didn't work because it wasn't getting the proper defining it needed. I think I need to rewatch the python course again or find new material.
I'm gonna bring this up to my team they have been looking for some things like what's mentioned on the site there. Thanks!
