Hello everyone,

I'm new in node-red and I'm doing a project where I'm going to use Node-red, dashboard and S7 nodes. I want to know if it's possible to auto fill and configure a new connection of a new PLC S7 automatically when filling a forms on the node-red dashboard.  
For example: My client enters the dashboard, fills the form with the data of the new plc he wants to configure (IP Address, Name, Variables, etc) and when finished, automatically creates a new connection for this plc in the flow of node-red.

I dont know if it's possible. Any help I'll be very grateful.

🙂
