Hi there,
it is completely plug and play. We sell the netLINK MPI device now since 18 years. The driver and device firmware support any known S7 PLC with MPI/PROFIBUS interface.
Install the driver package from here https://download.ibhsoftec.com/neutral/I...7Setup.exe. It comes from Company IBH Softec who is writing the software for the NL 50-MPI meanwhile (they call the same device IBH-Link, but it is the same as NL 50-MPI).
The NL 50-MPI device transparently routes the Ethernet packages that are coming 1:1 to the MPI/PROFIBUS port and finally reach the S7 PLC where they are answered and sent back to the requester. In your case the requester can be Node-RED and the S7-comm node that I mentioned above.
Thx
Armin
