Hi @Vanj I have added a beta version of `node-red-contrib-omron-fins` which includes `c-mode` nodes.

> OMRON FINS Ethernet protocol functions 'Read' and 'write' for communicating with OMRON PLCs from node-red. Latest version: 0.5.0, last published: 2 years ago. Start using node-red-contrib-omron-fins in your project by running \`npm i...

To install...

```bash
cd ~/.node-red
npm i node-red-contrib-omron-fins@1.0.0-beta-0

```

I dont have access to a peripheral / hostlink cable or PLC to test so would be grateful if you could test it and feedback. Ask here if you have questions on usage.
