Exploring node-red as a commissioning tool

3/30/2021

How about using Node-Red as a commissioning tool where you don't have SCADA or you don't want to use a "paid" platform to generate the screens? Maybe you don't have access or the ability to work on the customer's existing SCADA?

Using OPC and some dashboard nodes, the status of 6 systems are displayed, where you could watch key aspects and react if some unexpected behavior occurs.

Node-Red is running in Docker on a PC in this example. What if the PLCs (such as the Opto22 groov EPIC) also have Node-Red onboard: could one make a self-aware/dynamic dashboard, where multiple systems could be administered from one browser tab? I wonder how much effort it would take? Something to explore for another opportunity...

The SignalFire Ranger is a battery or solar powered LTE-M transmitter, used to power and transmit sensor data. Two global communication standards, HART™ and SDI-12 are now supported.

Expanded features for an already capable device! Contact us for option configuration, integration support and quoting.


Some other noteworthy aspects: C1D2, GPS, MQTT (Sparkplug B) and ready for integration into Ignition. So many possibilities...

CODESYS, Ignition Edge, RevPi.. oh my!

This control system will be used for a smart agriculture application. Very excited to get it into the field!

Love the KUNBUS RevPi and how open it is for integration tasks like this.

After additional evaluation, the CODESYS Automation 
Server's capabilities have been impressive so far. The RevPi in this system has the Edge Gateway linked to my Automation Server instance, which I'll get a chance to put through its paces once it ends up at the customer's site.

using Node-red for a demo dashboard

Ever use Node-Red to test and demonstrate a solution to a customer?

Here is a quick flow/dashboard I put together to control some SMC proportional valves with a PWM module. Node-Red was running on a Weidmüller controller (u-control 2000 IoT, a very cool device with some interesting features) and through some nodes they provide, you can access whatever I/O slices are attached to the backplane...

The flow is posted here if you are interested: https://lnkd.in/g9dYxvQ

Rapid connections to popular clouds, OPC-UA, MQTT... an automation solution that doesn't limit you. If you love IO-Link like we do, you should definitely take a look at the CloudRAIL.
We'll discuss more about the many IIoT possibilities with a device like CloudRAIL in future posts.
