A Node-RED node to interact with Allen Bradley / Rockwell PLCs using the EtherNet/IP protocol. Based on the awesome work of cmseaton42/node-ethernet-ip.
This node was created as part of the ST-One project.
You can install this node directly from the "Manage Palette" menu in the Node-RED interface.
Alternatively, run the following command in your Node-RED user directory - typically ~/.node-red
on Linux or %HOMEPATH%\.nodered
on Windows
npm install node-red-contrib-cip-ethernet-ip
NodeJS version 10 or greater and Node-RED version 1.0 or greater is required.
Each connection to a PLC is represented by the ETH-IP Endpoint configuration node. You can configure the PLC's Address, the variables available and their addresses, and the cycle time for reading the variables.
The ETH-IP In node makes the variable's values available in a flow in three different modes:
msg.payload
contains the variable's value and msg.topic
has the variable's name.msg.payload
contains an object with all configured variables and their values. If diff is checked, a message is sent if at least one of the variables changes its value.The Software is provided "AS IS", without warranty of any kind.
