This module contains nodes for integration of Tecomat Foxtrot PLC devices into node-red.
The following nodes are implemented:
- foxtrot input - connects to a Tecomat Foxtrot PLC via PlcComS and reports value changes of selected variable
- foxtrot ouptut - connects to a Tecomat Foxtrot PLC via PlcComS and allows to set value of selected variable using input messages
- plccoms - configuration node for a connection to a PlcComS server
To use these nodes for controlling Tecomat Foxtrot CP-1xxx series a PlcComS server is needed to run on the same network as the PLC. For CP-2xxx series the PlcComS server is a part of the device itself, so the plccoms configuration node can be connected straight to the PLC. More information about using PlcComS server can be found here: https://www.tecomat.com/download/software-and-firmware/plccoms/
