[This page](https://www.advantech.com/en-eu/products/a67f7853-013a-4b50-9b20-01798c56b090/adam-6017/mod_426ac8aa-4c77-4e4e-aed7-b41b9b387cf9) suggests the device supports MQTT. MQTT is very easy to use in node-red so I suggest you use that.

Yes. MQTT _can_ go over the internet but it does **NOT** have to. It can be 100% local netowrk.

You will need a broker installed - I suggest mosquitto.

PS: I see you are unfamiliar with MQTT - dont worry, once you get it going, you wont want to use anything else - it is THAT EASY. We are here to help you get this moving.

Looks like it supports modbus and has API. The advantages of those is that no broker would be required and if it’s strictly an isolated network that shouldn’t be an issue. MQTT is definitely the best way to do it on a more open local network.

Why would MQTT be a problem if it is an isolated network?

Not a problem at all. Just requires a broker where the others don’t.

Ok, your last post gave the impression it could be a problem.
