Error while reading chars string from s7 200 smart

[Diptee24]

hi sir,
i am reading 6-7 address at a time using below format to read string. but i am getting error : b' ISO : Bad PDU format'. each plc address contains 15 byte.
client.read_area(snap7.types.Areas.DB,1,3200,15).decode()

also if i use snap7.util.get_string(buffer1,3172,15) it gives me an error.
please suggest some solution.
thank you.

Could you capture packets using Wireshark and post them here in .pcapng format? This will help figure out what's wrong with the PDU format

Closing as stale. S7-200 Smart has limited compatibility with snap7.
