Menggunakan Harmony Edge Box / IoT Box sebagai Modbus Gateway (TCP to RTU)

Magelis Edge Box (sekarang berubah menjadi Harmony Edge Box) adalah sebuah Computer dengan ukuran mini dengan kebutuhan khusus dan di design dengan spesifikasi industrial. belakangan lebih sering disebut sebagai IoT Box karena kebanyakan digunakan sebagai bridge ke IoT. lebih lengkapnya dapat di cek diwebsite Schneider Electric:

Kali ini saya akan membahas bagaimana menggunakan IoT Box terutama untuk yang versi Linux, untuk digunakan sebagai gateway Modbus TCP ke Modbus Serial. menggunakan NodeRED

flow di NodeRED untuk menjadikan IoT Box sebagai gateway.

Cara update Node-RED OEM

Cara Update Node-RED pre-installed (OEM) contoh kasus pada software Ecostruxure Augmented Operator Advisor (AOA) by Schneider Electric.

Update Node.js

  1. update Node.JS bisa mendownload dari https://nodejs.org jangan di install, tapi kalau bisa di extract saja, kemudian cari file Node.exe
  2. copy file tersebut ke lokasi node.exe oem (replace)

Update NPM

setelah node.js di update, maka selanjutnya kita bisa otomatis update NPM ke versi terbaru (terkoneksi internet) caranya:

  1. buka command prompt, kemudian masuk ke folder installasi nodejs OEM untuk kasus ini ada di: C:\Program Files (x86)\Schneider Electric\EcoStruxure Augmented Operator Advisor\node-red
  2. kemudian ketik:
    npm install npm@latest -g

Update Node-RED

Setelah update Node.js dan NPM, maka selanjutnya kita bisa mengupdate Node-RED itu sendiri ke versi yang terbaru. caranya cukup ketik:
npm install -g –unsafe-perm node-red
di folder yang sama dengan sebelumnya

Node-Red ~ Modbus Floating Point Convert (Float32 / Real)

this function script is used to convert your 2 words into Float32bit

/* Converts from an number, string, buffer or array representing an IEEE-754 value
 to a javascript float.
 The following may be given in msg.payload:
 A string representing a number, which may be hex or binary
 examples, "1735" "0x02045789" 0b01000000010010010000111111011011
 An integer value
 A two element array or buffer of 16 bit values, less significant byte first.
 A four element array or buffer of 8 bit values, most significant byte first.

Modbus-IoT (Modbus over MQTT)

Modbus?? old school protocol (more than 40th years).

when Modbus created, it was created for Serial communication via RS485. after year by year, technology was changing and ethernet / TCP widely used in PLC and industrial control system, then Modbus move their medium to Ethernet and wrap their message in TCP (encapsulated) over ethernet.

Now, when everything going to the cloud or  RTU/PLC are not in the same place with SCADA and it only have internet connection, it will be hard and expensive for Modbus to keep exist in Internet area. because we need at least public IP for each device, or creating VPN.

but with MQTT the message can be send over the broker (on the cloud), so it will be exiting if modbus can be sent through MQTT.

if you’ve heard about Node-red this is cool IoT tools/platform built in NodeJS.

I’m using Node-red to make it’s encapsulation, and Modscan as Modbus Master (or SCADA), and Modsim as Modbus Slave (or  PLC)

HMI GTU (HMIG3U) Recovery

If your HMIG3U Magelis runtime just crash and Halt you can recover only using SDcard by using this tool “BackupRecovery” you can download from this link:
https://schneider-electric.box.com/s/c6ray49otwvj1p3ugyq66b3kx76lsqzc

and image recover HMIG3U VJD 6.2 SP 5.1 :
https://schneider-electric.box.com/s/pxquf8r3d507k01od8w8l1rnowv8nj8m

and here is the official tutorial from schneider electric, the different thing is only version of image. if you are using newer version you can’t recover to the previous version so I created the newest version:

Vijeo Designer Project Data – Default Path

Halo,

Jika kita sudah pernah menggunakan Vijeo Designer, pasti sudah sangat familiar dengan cara Save Project yang agak sedikit berbeda dengan software seperti microsoft excel atau software pada umumnya. jika kita melakukan penyimpananan pada software apapun, normalnya kita akan ditawarkan untuk menyimpan di lokasi tertentu, namun berbeda dengan Vijeo Designer yang menyimpan ke lokasi default nya, yang mungkin kita butuhkan. walaupun sebenarnya kita dapat melakukan backup/Export kemudian barulah kita dapatkan file backup berupa *.VDZ ada kalanya kita butuh backup project nya secara langsung dari folder defaultnya, dimanakah folder tersebut?

berikut adalah lokasi default Vijeo Designer 6.2 :

C:\Users\Public\Documents\Vijeo-Designer 6.2\Vijeo-Manager

Vijeo Designer Basic 1.1:

C:\Users\Public\Documents\Vijeo-Designer Basic 1.1
