Accessing a modbus device connected to RTE port from Node-RED

[Armin@netPI]

Hi tad,

I can confirm that 'hilschernetpi/netpi-netx-ethernet-lan' container on a fresh netPI RTE 3 running in 'host' mode does not work as expected.

What I see right now is that netPI's control panel UI "network/LAN"  does not configure cifX0 IP address when setup.

For a test I used the console function Docker UI for netpi-netx-ethernet-lan container.

In this console I entered the cifX0 IP setup manually using the command

Code:

ip addr add 192.168.50.169/255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.50.255 dev cifx0

With this command the cifX0 is assigned your requested IP address properly and everything works then.

So now I need to check with the netPI development team why netPI's control panel UI "network/LAN" is not configuring the cifX0.If they are telling me there is no configuration possible from control panel UI - like you and I have detected - then I need to modify the container start script in that way that the environment variables IP_ADDRESS, SUBNET_MASK, GATEWAY needs to be set in 'host' too like documented in bridged mode already.

Thx
Armin
