rule.box RS232/422/485
Monitor and control using Node-RED
Realize automation tasks with the pre-installed graphical development tool Node-RED. Determine the data flow between input, output and processing nodes by dragging connections in the browser-based editor. The serial combination interface of the rule.box can be accessed and read via Node-RED, making it easy to link serial terminal devices. Pre-installed nodes let you read and control Web-IOs, Web Thermometers and Com-Servers from Wiesemann & Theis. The wide range of available pre-installed nodes enables both expansion of the processing functions and linking devices from other manufacturers. The rule.box processes the flows reliably and using little power. Integration of non-public nodes is also possible on request.
