serial connection to Pluto drive - MotionLab vs IngeniaLink python binding

[psi-jmonaco]

SETUP Pluto drive with actuator powered with an external power supply @ 15 V. Pluto firmware version 2.7.8

What works
Can use MotionLab2 software to configure drive, use move interface to perform homing, position control, etc.

What does not work
From a restart of Windows system, without running MotionLab2, attempt to use IngeniaLink python bindings to connect to the drive over serial connection via USB.

Per the following command history, the device is found on COM3 using the network.scan_slaves() method, and this matches the port info shown for COM ports in the OS.

Per the following, the connection to the drive over serial COM3 fails on the first attempt. Subsequent attempts to connect are also unsuccessful because the port is now in use.

import ingenialink as il
Cannot load IXXAT vcinpl library: Could not find module 'vcinpl' (or one of its dependencies). Try using the full path with constructor syntax.

from ingenialink.serial.network import SerialNetwork

network = SerialNetwork()

f = network.scan_slaves()

target = f[0]

servo = network.connect_to_slave(target)

I am having the same issue. Have you been able to figure out a solution?
