EIP Node Red configurator - mnieuzyla - September-6th-2019
Hi,
I'm trying to test a Ethernet IP communication with netPI on NodeRED.
I managed to deploy NodeRed on docker (it needed upgrade, so I have firmware version V1.2.0.0). However, when I try to configure the Fieldbus node, I can choose the EIP adapter, but I cannot enter the configurator. Web browser is trying to open new tab (https://DeviceIP:9000/webConfigurator/fieldbus?Config_Filename=Hil~cifX0~Ch_2~CC_5~PC_10.json) and then halts with ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED (chrome).
Is there something missing in the nodeRED package?NIOT-E-NPI3-51-EN-RE | V1.2.0.0

Hello
can't confirm.
See my screen shot under chrome. Just did a quick check a minute ago. Using V1.2.0.0 as well.
Are you sure that you entered all the parameters as given in dem container's readme text, especially to set the environment variable FIELD?
Thx
Armin
RE: EIP Node Red configurator - Armin@netPI - September-6th-2019
I watched your link you sent ... https://192.168.11.152:9000/webConfigurator/fieldbus?Config_Filename=Hil~cifX0~Ch_2~CC_5~PC_10.json
It is https .... whereas our fieldbus container is not requiring https but http.
I am wondering why a https is requested as link by the container. My link is http://10.11.5.13:9000/webConfigurator/ethernet_ip/content/index.html?Config_Filename=Hil~cifX0~Ch_2~CC_5~PC_10.json
Thx

Hi Armin,
Indeed, deleting the "s" helped - now I managed to get some signals from the PLC. As I can see, there are fieldbus slaves implemented - are there any plans for the master/scanner functionality?
Thanks for the help,
Mike

Hello Mike,
since netPI includes a netX51 chip that is a slave chip only, netPI RTE 3 can only support slave functionality.
But since CODESYS soft PLC includes PROFINET Master, EtherCAT Master and EtherNet/IP Scanner for 50,-EUR over port eth0 it makes no sense for Hilscher to offer a master too.
You can try CODESYS yourself with another Docker container https://hub.docker.com/r/hilschernetpi/netpi-codesys-basis/. Without a license it runs 2 hours and then stops.
We have youtube video as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXIHu3-4-eg

Armin
