Develop your SCADA application with Open Source Hardware
From Industrial Shields, we want to help you to program your M-Duino device.
Therefore, we offer you a tool like Node-Red, ready to link and configure directly with your hardware.
Make your M-Duino the perfect tool for monitoring your application.
Do you have an M-Duino 21+?
Then you can enjoy for free the access to this platform.
Program quickly and easily using nodes
Coding is cool. "Noding" too.
Node-Red is based on the use of nodes. Nodes are blocks that represent physical devices such as a sensor, motor or relay, or operations that are performed during the execution of the code, such as adding, comparing or concatenating text.
Each node has:
✔ ️ one or more entries that accept values for processing and
✔ ️ outputs that return results.
Creating the link from an output to an input creates a path for the data, allowing one node to feed values to another. Use this simple but powerful principle to define what the program does.
On the other hand, you also have a platform to monitor inputs and outputs, communications and the history of each input and output.
Node-RED resources to help you creating your SCADA
Node-RED offers an extensive library of documentation to learn or improve the use of the platform.
The material is organized in a very didactic way to be able to advance quickly in the use of this tool.
In addition, in its Youtube channel you will find dozens of videos to improve your knowledge of Node-RED.
All this material will allow you to acquire the necessary training to program your PLC, quickly and economically.
You can also count on all the community that is already using the tool and actively participating in:
✔ ️ social networks,
✔ ️ GitHUB (https://github.com/node-red),
✔ ️ the Node-RED forum (https://discourse.nodered.org/) and
✔ ️ the articles that are published in the official blog or others.
