node-red-contrib-modbus node

[Lauri]

Hi.

I was not able to install node-red-contrib-modbus node from node red manage palette-install settings. Is there anything in the log file that can give a hint why this gives an error? And is there some way to get through this?

 - Internet connection is set up, I can install other nodes
 - System time is set correctly

I'm using the RM22.03 CtrlX Core

Hi Lauri,

this node contains native c parts which will be compiled internally while installing.

This mechanism is not active in ctrlX due to security issues with this mechanism.

We recommend to use for Modbus our PLC and the PLC library we have for Modbus.

Alternatively you can build the package external with the node package manager.

By the way, the correct version would be 1.14, the RM22.03 decleration is just internally.

Regards

Because our Node-RED app is not shipped with a native tool chain (including python) for security reasons, customer has to build nodes with native bindings (e.g. node-red-contrib-modbus) for his own and in his own responsibility for later OFFLINE import.

We can provide the installation package. Please write me a private message with your contact data.
