Node-RED Installing the Windows Software
We will now be installing the Node-RED software on our Windows 10 computer. Node-RED is a powerful and easy programming tool that will allow you to join together hardware devices, APIs (Application Programming Interface), and online services. This joining of information is part of the smart factory. Internet of Things (IoT), Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), Industry 4.0, and Smart Production are just a few of the other labels that have been applied to this type of technology.
Node-RED provides a browser-based flow editor. This provides an easy way to visually see and modify your program flow. Flows can then be deployed to the runtime in a single click. Node-RED is built on Node.js. This lightweight runtime can be deployed on low-cost hardware (Raspberry Pi ) or cloud services (Microsoft Azure). This has the ability to bring data collection, analysis, and storage closer to the actual device. Real-time edge computing can then be achieved without latency issues.
In this series we will be using Node-RED in some of the following ways:
- Connect to our industrial equipment using the Modbus protocol.
- Display Information on a user interface, HMI, or dashboard
- Log information into a database
- View information in the database through spreadsheets such as Excel.
Let’s get started by installing Node-RED.
There are several reasons why we are using Node-RED. Here are just a few.
- Built on top of the most dependable programming language JavaScript.
- JavaScript is flexible and easy to work with on web browsers, server-side, IoT, IIoT projects, and more.
- Visual flow type interface making programming easy.
- Node will allow JavaScript code to run directly on a computer.
- Node-RED is a free, open-source logic engine.
- Connect to PLC, PAC, Temperature Controllers, Process Controllers using standard protocols.
- Save and read from databases
- Easily make the Internet of Things (IoT, IIoT) industrial solutions.
Node-RED provides the ability for you to quickly create custom control solutions.
