Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Since https://github.com/SerafinTech/ST-node-ethernet-ip/pull/58 was merged, the underlying library (st-ethernet-ip) will emit "Unknown" when tags not known by PLC are queried.
I am submitting a pull request to pick these events up in Node-RED.
Describe the solution you'd like
The solution I am proposing and submitting a PR for is to add an option (checkbox) in config ui to attach an error output to the eth-ip in node.
For now only unknown events are being send but this could be extended to all (most) errors. If the option (to add error output) is not selected, behavior is unchanged from previous releases.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Non considered.
Additional context
The overall idea about this is to simply pass on any errors to an external system so that configuration issues on PLC's can be monitored centrally
