Hello all, I'm working with the PCCC and now the "Ethernet/IP" nodes for Allen Bradley. I have confidence in the OPC solutions so far. Having fine success working with plcpeople who fixed some issues for reconnecting when errors are detected. I would like to see if I can depend on the "Ethernet/IP" connection for at least monitoring and feedback of the PLC directly.
I am wondering if it is my configuration, or if there is a fundamental problem with the READ node. The Write note seems to work fine with no errors. However, I cannot read tags from the processor but only on restarting flows. Can anyone help? What are the dependencies on Node.JS version, or other related updates? My Node.JS version is 10.16.0 and Node-RED is v1.0.0-beta.2.
New Information!!
I tested by writing to the same tag with the programming software. That will update the READ node... Why would it matter that you update the tag by other means except by writing a value by the output Write node?? Strange behavior.
