# systemdump.py
create and load a system dump for B&amp;R PLC from the command line

[read what a systemdump is good for](https://www.br-automation.com/en/about-us/press-room/advanced-system-diagnostics-via-the-web-16-02-2011/)

# Intention

I regularly had to create lots of system dumps from multiple machines and was tired of always using the websites to do it.
So I wrote this Python script to automate this work with e.g. a batchfile.


# Installation
install Python from web page [https://www.python.org/](https://www.python.org/). I used the 3.9.6.

```
python -m pip install systemdumpy
```


# Examples

## create a dump and store it
```
python -m systemdumpy 192.168.0.100 -cuv -p MyCPU_

create a systemdump on 192.168.0.100
upload systemdump from 192.168.0.100
saving MyCPU_BuR_SDM_Sysdump_2021-07-09_11-51-55.tar.gz (2820986) bytes
```

## delete the last systemdump from PLC
```
python -m systemdumpy 192.168.0.100 -dv
```

## create a inventory list (*xlsx) from file
```
python -m systemdumpy BuR_SDM_Sysdump_2021-07-09_17-43-05.tar.gz -iv
```
