Issues with node-red-contrib-modbus

Industrial

Hello,

I would like to ask if somebody else started facing problems with modbus node.

I am using modbus node for controlling relay on moxa IO box, which was working fine for more than a year. Now it happens to see that 50 % of the time moxa is not getting an input signal when I trigger with inject node(boolean value) on first click and it gets the signal which when i push it one more time.

I am using more than one IO box, And its the same thing happening so problem is not with device.

Flow attached. Would be great if anyone knows the solution.

So you using exacly the same configuration for over a year?
Or you add some devices recently? Maybe another client?
Did yopu check the ethernet/lan network?
