help Tkinter GUI/Raspberry PI/Zelio-PLC

Question

Hello there. Need your help dan opinion.

So, I’m building a project that can control Zelio Smart Relay using Raspberry PI 3. And I plan to use Tkinter to make the GUI. What I mean is I want to use Tkinter GUI to interact with Zelio using Rpi 3. It’s kind of using Visual Basic GUI to interact with PLC using PC.

I have searched in google and youtube about this issue, but I can not find it. What I found is only about Rpi 3 control Zelio/PLC, or Using Tkinter to make GUI to interact with Rpi to control LED, fan or motor DC., but none mention about using Tkinter to make GUI to interact with Zelio using Rpi. So off course, the example of this kind of program is none.

So, my question is, is it possible to do this combination Tkinter GUI-Zelio-Rpi 3?

And if not, what should I use as interface that will work?

Thank you

Greetings,

I have no personal experience in any of these parts, but if I read your description of your google/youtube findings correctly, then yes I think it should be doable. It sort of a logic problem, if Rpi 3 AND Zelio/PLC and Tkinter GUI AND Rpi 3, then Rpi 3 AND Tkinter AND Zelio should follow. It seems that you just need to merge your finding, cut out any not used parts and you should be able to connect the parts together into a working project.

Best of luck!
