Dear All,
Hi, I am trying to stablish a connection between Beckhoff PLC and node red! I followed the instructure
written [here](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-ads-client) but I couldn't succeed!
I would appreciate it if you help me to know what is missed in configuration!

First thing that stands out for me is/are the TWO DIFFERENT IP ADDRESSES!
In the right it is `127.0.0.1` yet in the node it is `140.x.x.x`
(It would make people lives easier if you posted the outputs rather than screen shots)

Hi, Thanks for your reply,
this is the output :`ClientException: Connection to 127.0.0.1:48898 failed - socket ended by remote`
Twincat 3 is running on my PC localy and AMS NetId is : 140.0.19.3.1.1

You need to confirm that the server is running on port 48898.
Have you gone through all the stuff here:

Because if not I fear that is not helping as you are accessing localhost.

(Wow! I know something.)
No problems.
Glad I could help.
(I understand that sometimes you can sometimes miss things and don't _see_ it until someone else mentions it.)

Actually, I never thought that it might be due to the
version of Twincat 3!
