I am developing a solution for irrigation, I already have functional communication with the PLC, via RS232, but I want to create a simple interface to enter the irrigation schedules (there are 16 sectors and 32 irrigation cycles per sector), which is best to use this node, I can already read the periods recorded in the PLC and populate the table, however I would like to write that value in the PLC when I change some value, but when I change the values the block does not release any output, if someone can give me a help I would be very grateful .

I managed to make it work, the block did not generate any output due to a configuration, changing it it started to give feedback.  
attached my config files:

```auto
var tabledata = [
    { id: 1, trigger: "01:33", s1: 150 },
    { id: 2, trigger: "03:40", s1: 30 },
    { id: 3, trigger: "00:40", s1: 20 },
    { id: 4, trigger: "00:40", s1: 20 },
    { id: 5, trigger: "01:45", s1: 20 },
    { id: 6, trigger: "03:40", s1: 20 },
    { id: 7, trigger: "00:40", s1: 20 },
    { id: 8, trigger: "00:43", s1: 33 }
];

var EditoParamsTimer = {
    min: 0,
    max: 32000,
    step: 10,
    elementAttributes: {
        maxlength: "5", //set the maximum character length of the input element to 10 characters
    },
    mask: "999",
    selectContents: true,
    verticalNavigation: "table", //up and down arrow keys navigate away from cell without changing value
};

msg = {
    // payload: tabledata,//load row data from arraycar:true
    payload: msg.payload,
    config: {
        options: {
            layout: "fitColumns", //fit columns to width of table
            height: "480px",
            // autoResize: true,
            // responsiveLayout: "hide", //hide columns that dont fit on the table
            tooltips: true, //show tool tips on cells
            // addRowPos: "top", //when adding a new row, add it to the top of the table
            history: true, //allow undo and redo actions on the table
            pagination: "local", //paginate the data
            paginationSize: 16, //allow 7 rows per page of data
            movableColumns: false, //allow column order to be changed
            resizableRows: false, //allow row order to be changed
            // initialSort: [ //set the initial sort order of the data
            // { column: "trigger", dir: "asc" }, // << here is a problem, afther comment this all works fine
            // ]
        },
        columns: [ //define the table columns
            { title: "Ciclo", field: "id", hozAlign: "center", width: "30"},
            { title: "Horario Inicio", field: "trigger", hozAlign: "center", width: "20%", editor: true },
            {title: "S1", field: "s1", hozAlign: "center", editor: "number", editorParams: EditoParamsTimer},
            // {title:"Driver", field:"car", hozAlign:"center", sorter:"boolean", editor:true},
        ]
    },
};

return msg

```
