Installation

npm install node-red-contrib-beckhoff-nodes

Or install via Node-RED palette manager.

Supported Cards

Quick Start

1. Add BK9100 node to your flow
2. Configure IP address and port (default: 502)
3. Add cards and set poll rate (default: 1000ms)
4. Connect outputs to process data

Usage

Reading Inputs

Each channel outputs separately:

{
  topic: "KL1808/ch3",
  payload: {
    channel: 3,
    value: true
  }
}

Controlling Outputs

Topic-based:

msg.topic = "KL2408/ch5";
msg.payload = true;  // or false, 1, 0, "on", "off"

Object-based:

msg.payload = {
  card: "KL2408",
  channel: 5,
  value: true
};

Temperature Sensors (KL3204/08)

Configure sensor type per channel (Pt1000, Ni1000, NTC):

{
  topic: "KL3208/ch2",
  payload: {
    channel: 2,
    celsius: 22.45,
    fahrenheit: 72.41,
    ok: true
  }
}

Voltage Inputs (KL3464/68)

Configure range (0-10V, 0.5-10V, 2-10V):

{
  topic: "KL3468/ch1",
  payload: {
    channel: 1,
    voltage: 7.35,
    percentage: 73.5
  }
}

Configuration

Global Settings:

• IP Address, Port, Unit ID
• Poll Rate (ms) for inputs

Per-Card Settings:

• Custom poll rate (optional)
• Output cards: Poll states and read-back after write
• Temperature cards: Sensor type per channel
• Voltage cards: Range and manufacturer per channel
