Hi Peter. Thank you for the reply.
This is the read_server code: import socket from pymongo import MongoClient #import datetime import sys # Connection to server (PLC) on port 27017 host = "10.52.124.135" port = 27017 s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) s.connect((host, port)) sys.stdout.write(s.recv(1024)) And the write_db code: from pymongo import MongoClient import datetime import socket import sys client = MongoClient('mongodb://localhost:27017/') db = client.test_database mongodoc = { "data": 'data', "date" : datetime.datetime.utcnow() } values = db.values values_id = values.insert_one(mongodoc).inserted_id So, both these scripts work independently. While, read_server shows the output of the actual data from PLC, write_db inserts the sample data into the MongoDB. I am not sure as to how to combine these both and get the desired output.
