I have successfully connected the PLC to node-red and dashboard, but in the HMI the word appears, but when in the node-red dashboard the number appears. How do I change it in the dashboard to be HMI compliant i.e. change from numbers to words?

First, read the MC Read node built in help.

Second change your address to request a string of the correct size.
