Hello everyone.  
I'm a new node-red user. I have recently explored reading and writing data via modbus. I have a little problem with the modbus flex sequencer. Reading itself works, but displaying two values with text field only shows the last value. As marked in the picture. I know it's probably a small thing but I've already spent a few days on it and I don't have any ideas anymore. Thank you very much for any help. Luke

Hello Lukas,

You can use a Switch node after your Modbus Flex Sequencer, to redirect each msg to the correct Dashboard text node.

From your screenshot : What makes each Sequencer msg unique is the Name (TZ1 and TZ2)  
so use that in the Switch node.
