Hi again!
Im trying to use the Eaton IPP software to run a python script when an action condition is met.
My current python script (call it c:\WIP\powerFail.py) writes the date and time of the failure to a file called c:\WIP\powerLog.txt.
To execute that on the alarm action, I set the action type to command and the argument to python c:\WIP\powerFail.py
This works fine. The log file gets updated as it should.
Now, I want to incorporate status messaging to a com server I have running.
The ActiveX/Com server is a custom win32com python class that is verified and works across applications (ie sending messages works on Excel/VB <-> python <-> LabView all simultaneously to/from my com class server).
I can execute the c:\WIP\powerFail.pyjust fine in python (and its equivalent functionality in Excel/VB) and it logs the file and sends the status...
