5 years ago First tip for newbies: Do not run Twincat and Node Red ADS on the same machine. That makes problems, best to install Nodered in a VM, on a second PC or on a Raspberry.
Can I configure Node-Red to connect directly to my Beckhoff PC (Windows CE)?
Yes that's exactly what it's for.
Where in Beckhoff System Manager I can find the right values to Host, Target NetId, Source NetId, Port, Target Port, Source Port?
Actually everything is in the readme md.
Open your project in the system manager and enter the IP of the PC running on the Nodered (in my case the 192.168.2.10). For AMS-Net-ID use the IP address + .1.1. You need to update and reboot
Hier you can find your PLC NetID
Open your node red in a browser
Insert the example into node-red (Menu Import clipboard):

Hi, I am a newbie in Node-Red and also with Beckhoff system. Could someone give a tutorial for dummies how to configure Beckhoff to work in Node-Red?
Where in Beckhoff System Manager I can find the right values to Host, Target NetId, Source NetId, Port, Target Port, Source Port? My TwinCat is version 2. Can I configure Node-Red to connect directly to my Beckhoff PC (Windows CE)?
Please help me.
