Modbus Test Tool
During writing a flow to control my Battery (https://flows.nodered.org/flow/3ab454d11d2a327aec6f092f30dbe7fc) with modbus TCP I found that testing the registers write and read Often requires the flow to be restarted. To prevent this I made this tool and can now write and read different registers without restarting the flow. Just fill in the correct values in the UI and press write and/or read to test the register values.
The flow makes use of the "node-red-contrib-modbus" nodes.
