Addition of node-red-contrib-s7 1.3.0

[Boyko Vesselinov]

Hi everyone,

Is it possible to add node-red-contrib-s7 1.3.0 S7 Endpoint configuration node to nodes list in AEP conduit, and how to do it is possible?

Thanks.

Boyko,

You can use the “npm install node-red-contrib-s7comm” with the –prefix option to point to /opt/node-red/node_modules. ie.

npm install node-red-contrib-s7comm –prefix /opt/node-red/node_modules

From the little bit of investigation it appears that this node and it’s dependencies are pure javascript so I believe that this node will install and work without the necessity of cross compilation or anything.

Thanks Jeff.

I’ll try, however it might be a case that the conduit may not accept upgrade nodes vers. higher than 0.10.X, due to instruction set.

Boyko,

The 0.10.x restriction applies to node-js, not to the node you’re trying to add. I did not see any minimal version of node-js required for the s7comm node.

Thanks Jeff, that’s a good news, I’ll try.
