Install

Run the following command in the root directory of your Node-RED install

try these options on npm install to build, if you have problems to install

--unsafe-perm --build-from-source

modbus-serial, serialport and jsmodbus

The serialport optional dependency is just to list all ports on your system in the client configuration. It is not the serialport version to work with Modbus at runtime. For that check the modbus-serial or jsmodbus package.json, please! The modbus-serial supports and works for TCP connections in that package, too. The jsmodbus package is just to provide a simple Modbus Server node. All Modbus commands running on modbus-serial.

TCP or Serial testing

If you get in trouble with TCP connections, then check and test with just modbus-serial first, please!

If you get in trouble with Serial connections, then check with just serialport first, please!

Update/Upgrade/Downgrade

npm show node-red-contrib-modbus@* version

To get a special version please set the version with @M.M.F:

How to use

Flow Example

Errors

Since v5.22+ the package will catch network and other errors of the client and server node. That means, you have to handle the error status of the node and Node-RED should not crash in the handled cases.

Debug

Debug will be activated by starting Node-RED with debug mode:

DEBUG=contribModbus*,modbus-serial node-red -v

or

DEBUG=contribModbus:{option},contribModbus:{option},...

see Wiki pages to get more options in detail
