Changing Loaded program on Smart Function Kit via node-red

[ahmadzakirhanif]

Hello Community,

I have SFK project with Ctrlx, I need to change the loaded program on SFK via Node-Red, i try to inject the program ID, but it doesn't work. is there any idea to change the SFK loaded program Via Node red?

As I cannot see which path you are using it is hard to say if it should work or not.

I tested using the path "smartfunctionkit/communication/cmd/changeprogram" and posted my project ID. This works like expected.
Same should be fine at your side as it seems that sfk4h is connected via OPC UA client app to a ctrlX CORE and you try to use ctrlX CORE - Node-Red app to access the OPC UA data via the data layer.

This works on the ctrlx data layer screen. But the question is different. How do I control this with a node red? I want to choose a program in the smart function kit with a node red.

As Node-RED is accessing the data layer, just send the corresponding project ID, like mentioned above, to the path "smartfunctionkit/communication/cmd/changeprogram".

See Node-RED example code:

For further examples you can have a look to the node-red-contrib-ctrlx-automation pallette on github. It is also included in the ctrlX OS - Node-RED app.
