This is a simple package to communicate with Pfeiffer vaccum hardware (e.g. TC110) via RS485 and the telegram protocol. Here it is running a Pfeiffer HiCube 80 Eco from a Raspberry Pi touch screen.

Prerequisites

It is recommended to install into a dedicated environment. If you are using conda, try conda create -n pfeiffer python git. Followed by conda activate pfeiffer to enter the new environment. To install from github, git needs to be installed, which should be taken care of if you used the commands above.

Installation

Install with pip install git+https://github.com/Cyberfly100/Pfeiffer-TC110.

Try it out

import pfeifferTC110

try:
    pump = pfeifferTC110.TC110()
    pump.run_timed(5)
finally:
    pump.close()
