Hi. I am using RS485 to USB converter to connect my Omron CP2E-N20DR-A PLC and my computer. I have successfully read the data from data memory of PLC and can see it on my debug window at node-red. Here's the visual representation of my progress.. [image] Data memory of my PLC [image] Data rea…

[image] jagades: but I'm curious on why the data is being split into 2 hexadecimal string where are you seeing 2 hexadecimal strings? I see a Data object with 2 16 bit values and an equivalent buffer containing the byte values. [image] jagades: In my case, I need the data to be display…

Communicate with OMRON PLC using peripheral port? (USB B type) npm i node-red-contrib-omron-fins@1.0.0-beta-0 I dont have access to a peripheral / hostlink cable or PLC to test so would be grateful if you could test it and feedback. Ask here if you have questions on usage. Hi, I thought that …

The beta version I have pointed you to contains C Mode nodes that generate the hostlink protocol strings that you pass to a serial request then you pass the response through another C Mode node to parse the data. In essence, they are doing what you did except they simplify the creation of the proto…

[image] Okay, but for all the nodes present under node-red-contrib-omron-fins, IP address is required; in this case, how am I able to get the IP address using RS485?

If you install correctly, you should see new nodes in the palette. Example... [image]

Thanks, found the nodes after installing them through Windows Powershell. Now I would like to know the way to use the function node, to write out the response from the PLC

[image] Hi, just found out that the data is being displayed at the debug window, but I'm curious on why the data is being split into 2 hexadecimal string. In my case, I need the data to be displayed as a whole, (1122). In addition, I need help on how to compile the data as one whole string (1122) …
