Hey everybody, I'm using node-red-contrib-modbus and made successfully a modbus tcp connection, even read and write mode. I trying to find out a way to set dynamically, I mean in runtime as I do with a function node right before a flex-getter node, the client ip address, in my case is 10.0.0.10:502. IP is different on every installation and I don't want to hard code it every time. I'd prefer to do it via a dashboard I tried to use flex-server or flex-connector but really cannot understand how to set flow or nodes to get my goal. Any help would be welcome, or any basic example of flow which I could look into Thanks M

It seems clienttype TCP cannot override a clienttype SERIAL: If I try to set as TCP a modbus-client preconfigured as "serial client", this operation seem s to have no effect, and erros in debug are all about the serial client not the tcp one I use this flow for testing [ { "id": "602c2fb9189b3c62", "type": "modbus-flex-getter", "z": "5b0dada6.2ecd9c", "name": "", "showStatusActivities": true, "showErrors": true, "logIOActivities": false, "server": "ebeab3422d31a778", "useIOFile": false, "ioFile": "", "useIOForPayload": false, "emptyMsgOnFail": false, "keepMsgProperties": false, "x": 630, "y": 640, "wires": [ [ "167f353c05c28461" ], [] ] }, { "id": "9eb2b47107b96ed8", "type": "inject", "z": "5b0dada6.2ecd9c", "name": "", "props": [ { "p": "payload" }, { "p": "topic", "vt": "str" } ], "repeat": "", "crontab": "", "once": false, "onceDelay": 0.1, "topic": "", "payload": "", "payloadType": "date", "x": 315, "y": 640, "wires": [ [ "2996681554f2e749" ] ], "l": false }, { "id": "2996681554f2e749", "type": "function", "z": "5b0dada6.2ecd9c", "name": "FC 3 120.10 ", "func": "msg.payload = {\n fc: 3,\n address: 120,\n quantity: 10,\n}\n\n\nreturn msg;", "outputs": 1, "noerr": 0, "initialize": "", "finalize": "", "libs": [], "x": 430, "y": 640, "wires": [ [ "602c2fb9189b3c62" ] ] }, { "id": "167f353c05c28461", "type": "debug", "z": "5b0dada6.2ecd9c", "name": "", "active": true, "tosidebar": true, "console": false, "tostatus": false, "complete": "payload", "targetType": "msg", "statusVal": "", "statusType": "auto", "x": 775, "y": 640, "wires": [], "l": false }, { "id": "5e8844296c95858c", "type": "modbus-flex-connector", "z": "5b0dada6.2ecd9c", "name": "", "maxReconnectsPerMinute": 4, "emptyQueue": false, "showStatusActivities": false, "showErrors": false, "server": "ebeab3422d31a778", "x": 730, "y": 580, "wires": [ [] ] }, { "id": "b8f8914c9d5d69ae", "type": "function", "z": "5b0dada6.2ecd9c", "name": "TCP | 10.0.2.56:502 | 1", "func": "msg.payload = {\n 'connectorType': 'TCP',\n 'tcpHost': '10.0.2.56',\n 'tcpPort': '502',\n 'unitId': 1\n}\nreturn msg;", "outputs": 1, "noerr": 0, "initialize": "", "finalize": "", "libs": [], "x": 470, "y": 580, "wires": [ [ "5e8844296c95858c" ] ] }, { "id": "9ab09aca.ae3f08", "type": "inject", "z": "5b0dada6.2ecd9c", "name": "", "props": [ { "p": "payload" }, { "p": "topic", "vt": "str" } ], "repeat": "", "crontab": "", "once": false, "onceDelay": 0.1, "topic": "", "payload": "", "payloadType": "date", "x": 315, "y": 580, "wires": [ [ "b8f8914c9d5d69ae" ] ], "l": false }, { "id": "ebeab3422d31a778", "type": "modbus-client", "name": "", "clienttype": "serial", "bufferCommands": true, "stateLogEnabled": false, "queueLogEnabled": false, "tcpHost": "0.0.0.0", "tcpPort": "0", "tcpType": "DEFAULT", "serialPort": "/dev/ttyUSB", "serialType": "RTU-BUFFERD", "serialBaudrate": "9600", "serialDatabits": "8", "serialStopbits": "1", "serialParity": "none", "serialConnectionDelay": "100", "unit_id": "0", "commandDelay": "1", "clientTimeout": "1000", "reconnectOnTimeout": false, "reconnectTimeout": "2000", "parallelUnitIdsAllowed": true } ]
