Final answer:
To set up a Modbus TCP/IP server using Factory IO, open the scene 'Level Control.' In Node-RED, you can construct a flow as a Modbus TCP/IP client and build a dashboard to visualize the data.
Step-by-step explanation:
Modbus Server
Modbus TCP/IP is a communication protocol commonly used in the industrial automation field. To set up a Modbus TCP/IP server using Factory IO, open the scene 'Level Control' in Factory IO and configure it as a Modbus TCP/IP server. This will allow the server to communicate with other devices over a network.
Node-RED as Modbus TCP/IP Client
To construct a flow in Node-RED acting as a Modbus TCP/IP client, you can use the 'Modbus' nodes available in Node-RED's palette. These nodes allow you to read and write data from/to the Modbus server configured in Factory IO.
Build a Dashboard
In Node-RED, you can build a dashboard to visualize and interact with the data obtained from the Modbus server. You can use the 'Dashboard' nodes in Node-RED's palette to create a user interface that displays the data and allows you to control the Modbus server.
