As I understand it, Piface produce a range of plugin hardware interfaces for the Pi, so you would have to ask about a specific Piface product I believe.  
The node-red flows site finds three nodes when searching for piface, do any of those help?

Which piface node are you trying to use? node-red-contrib-pifacecad, node-red-node-piface or node-red-contrib-piface-digital? If you don't know then look in Manage Palette to see what you have installed.

Also which piface product are you using?

The [node readme](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-node-piface) seems fairly clear. Have you setup the pre-requisites as described there? If yes then what have you tried and what doesn't work?

It seems you are right and the docs are out of date. I have submitted [an issue](https://github.com/node-red/node-red-nodes/issues/735) for this.  
Even more serious, possibly, on the wiringpi site I found  
" _ **WiringPi** _ did once supportthe [PiFace board](http://piface.openlx.org.uk/) but support for that is now very much out of date."  
So I suggest that maybe you look at the other piface options on the node-red flows site.

@iiot2k do you mean you are going to update node-red-node-piface? That would be great.

No, its new and works with global variables.  
Its a part of a subsystem.  
If you need a node that works same as node-red-node-piface node, I can add a second version of this node to github.
