@fa_yoshinobu/node-red-contrib-plc-comm-kvhostlink 0.8.0
Node-RED nodes for KEYENCE KV Host Link communication over TCP/UDP.
Node-RED KEYENCE KV Host Link Nodes
Node-RED nodes for KEYENCE KV PLC communication via Host Link.
Supported PLC profiles
The maintained profile table is in PLC profiles. Choose one exact canonical PLC profile from that table.
Supported device types
The maintained device and range tables are in Supported registers. Use that page for supported device families, address syntax, and profile-specific notes.
Installation
@fa_yoshinobu/node-red-contrib-plc-comm-kvhostlink
In Node-RED, open Manage palette, choose Install, and search for:
@fa_yoshinobu/node-red-contrib-plc-comm-kvhostlink
Install the package, then restart Node-RED if your runtime asks you to.
Quick start
- Open the Node-RED import menu.
- Import
examples/flows/kvhostlink-basic-read-write.json. - Open the
kvhostlink-connectionconfig node. - Set Host to
192.168.250.100. - Set Port to
8501. - Set PLC Profile to the exact canonical profile for your PLC, such as
keyence:kv-5000. - Deploy the flow.
- Trigger
Read DM100and check the debug sidebar. - Trigger
Write DM100=123, then read again to confirm the value.
