Does anyone have any experience with connecting Ethernet IP devices to Node-Red? Pulling data from an AB Plc is easy enough; however, I have challenged myself with directly connecting an Ethernet IP device to Node-Red, and so far, I am failing.
My current setup is a Sick Lector 83X and the latest version of Node-Red, using the serafintech/node-red-contrib-eip-io module. I have pulled the EDS files from Sick and used them to attempt to set up the scanner node within Node-Red. So far no luck connecting.
Does anyone have any experience using this Module that can help me figure out exactly what I am missing?
Or is there a better way? I really don't want to run this from a PLC, as I am trying to also prove that Node Red can be a very powerful tool in our industry.
