Changing that YARC command from "PUT" to "POST" causes it to work. That's great. I can't figure out how to do this successfully with Node-Red. In Node-Red, a setup I created from someone elses returns a certificate error, Depth_Zero_Self_Signed_Cert. The attached flow is what I attempted to utilize, and the source of what I was copying. ...

My PLC Engineering is 2.6.2. I found the comfort data exchange guide, and it only shows pulling the information requires a library that seems to need at least 3 dot. So I'll need to stick to Node-Red to do this.    I've been working on this a fair bit, and I keep running into the same issue. Following your guide on using YARC, I was able to confirm from another source that the data I've been putting into the payload is being bounced as incorrectly formated. I know that this works, because it works when done manually. For some reason, Node-Red and YARC are returning the same issue.    There will be more struggles after this, but at least getting the drive parameters automatically loading, and updating the filepaths will be needed. It seems that the order the serial addresses are returned on a browse request is in reverse topographical order. That gives the topology information needed to rebuild them, but I don't know how to automatically change filepaths in Node-Red.     ... View more

I am using 2.6 for the core and 2.4.2(legacy) for the DriveConnect app. Here is a screenshot of an attempt to pull the information as described by the DriveConnect manual. I am able to pull information correctly from the data layer, after I already know the serial number of the drive, but I can't figure out how to pull the serial number in order to complete the filepath for the REST API to do it's job. I attempted to follow it with Node Red, and my subscription always says invalid address. After some tinkering, just clicking the magnifying glass next to the path and setting it to /devices/drives seemed to make it work. Not sure why putting that in manually doesn't work, but the magnifying glass does. I'm going to keep working on this and potentially post my finished demo for someone else to follow. If I struggled someone else will too.   ... View more

I did not know that it needed to be configured. To anyone looking at this post in the future, on windows 11 the pathing was Settings -> Network & Internet -> Advanced Network Settings -> (Ethernet Port) -> dropdown ribbon -> More adapter options(edit) -> Internet Protocol Version 4(TCP/IPv4) ->Properties. The default configuration that should work is Ip address 192.168.1.101, subnet mask 255.255.255.0, and leave default gateway blank. I never would have found that without your help, thank you so much for informing me. ... View more
