So I have had some success using the previously referenced method combined with the following:
https://discourse.nodered.org/t/modbus-tcp-read-32-bit-registers/1710/2
I am getting a lot of:
"Error: FSM Not Ready To Read At State STOPED"
errors, but I am assuming that is because I am not using the best method for multiple connections to the device. I will work on that, but I wanted to ask why I may be getting some variation in the output valves from what the unit display shows? For example for Load and Rate the values are right on. Load = 59 on display and 59 in Node-Red & Rate = 708 on scale display and 708 in Node-Red. However, the scale displays a totalizer value of say 16371 but Node-Red will show 16320. The Master Total on the scale is 760983 but is - 757760 in Node-Red. Is this a data type error I am not getting correct?
