Hello.

SICK THICKNESS SENSOR  
(Send Message MEASURE B )

I want to checking TCP client in Herclus software , its comming for ref image

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/3X/a/6/a616e9860dc3d0cfab2e44eff34549dcc8651a57.png)

1. Node red side i am using TCP client module for ref image setting  

2. Node red side i am getting error Ref img.

Thank you for editing your post. Looks like you have configured your TCP node to look for a port setting to be found in `msg.5010` rather than statically configured for port 5010. Also, doesn't the first image show the sensor refusing your connection attempts?

What/which is that TCP client node ? Is there any reason why you aren't using the built in core TCP nodes ? Also which way round is this supposed to be - are you connecting to Node-RED or is Node-RED connecting to the device ?

Sending/Receiving through Node-RED built in TCP nodes have worked flawlessly for me. We talk to pretty much anything, barcode readers, weighing equipment, other PCs using Node-RED too.
