Node-RED Modbus TCP Flexi Reader

Connects to a modbus slave and performs modbus read operations via TCP/IP.

Getting Started

Install the module via npm or directly via node-red. The module will be located in the function block. See help for an example.

Flow

Editing Connection

Injecting Payload

Additional Payload Options

You can also send the modbus ip and port along with payload instead of giving it at the input of node. The values inside the configuration dialog will be used with higher priority. So you have to empty them if you want to send the parameters as payload. Eg: {
"unitid":5,
"functioncode":3,
"address":3000,
"quantity":100,
"modbus_ip":"192.168.10.31", "modbus_port": 3666, "timeout": 100, "retries": 0, "retry": 100, "logerror": true }
