node-red-contrib-embrick

This Module provides a Method to use your emBrick I/O Systems in Node-Red.

Required

• current Version of Node.js & Node-RED
• node-red-dashboard (for the Dashboard)
• node-red-contrib-config (to set a flow value on start)
• node-red-contrib-modbus (If the Remote Master is connected serial)
• node-red-contrib-boolean-logic-ultimate (optionaly if you need AND,OR,XOR Gatter or a inverter Node)

Install

To install use the 'Menu - Palette verwalten' option and search for 'node-red-contrib-embrick' or run the following command in your Node-RED user directory - typically ~/.node-red:

npm i @embrick/red-contrib-embrick

Restart your Node-RED instance and you should have UI nodes available in the palette and a new dashboard tab in the right side panel. The UI interface is available at http://localhost:1880/ui (if the default settings are used).

Settings Dashboard

The default url for the dashboard is based off your existing Node-RED httpRoot path with /ui added. This can be changed in your Node-RED settings.js file.

ui: { path: "ui" },

Settings Connection

Double Click on 'change updateRate (in ms), ip-address or port' if you use the Remote Master per Ethernet to change the Updaterate (in ms), ip-address or port. Double Click on 'change updateRate(in ms), Modbus ID' if you use the Remote Master per Serial to change the Updaterate (in ms) or the Modbus ID.

Functions of the Nodes

| node | function
| --------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Digital Input | gives the State of the Input as msg.payload (1 or 0) out. | | Digital Output | write the Input msg.payload on the Output (1 or 0 ). | | Digital Vis | show the State with a LED Icon (1 = yellow, 0 = black) of the Digital In- or Output on the Dashboard. | | Digital Force | give the opportunity to force the Digital In- or Output on the Dashboard. | | Analog Input | gives the Value of the Input in Process Value(if configured in node) or in digits as msg.payload out. | | Analog Output | write the Input msg.payload on the Output. | | Analog Vis | show the State in Process Value(if configured in node) or in digits of the Analog In- or Output on the Dashboard. | | Analog Force | gives the opportunity to force the Analog In- or Output on the Dashboard. |
