node-red-contrib-mtconnect

A Node-RED package for MTconnect integration.

For some time now, when working with MTconnect, I have noticed using 'Ladder99' was not ideal for the task I was undertaking. I created this node package as an alternative to integrate MTconnect into Node-RED.

To allow maximum flexibility, the nodes were designed to allow the user to manually select the data they desire.

I have also provided an example flow for anyone who needs it.

(These nodes are still in Beta, they are bound to have bugs, please report them on the github page)
