Install Node-RED on Raspberry Pi

We will now be installing Node-RED on a Raspberry Pi 4 single-board computer. A static IP address will also be given for both the WiFi and Ethernet connections. The Raspberry Pi has quickly become a fixture in the industrial environment when utilizing the internet of things. (IoT) We will be utilizing this low-cost computer to poll and log information from our PLCs using Modbus and MQTT protocols. Node-RED will be the IoT enabling software that will allow us to utilize this hardware. https://accautomation.ca/series/node-red-iot-enabling-software/ Let’s get started with installing Node-RED and setting up a fixed IP address on our Raspberry Pi 4 computer. More information can be obtained at our website. This includes all of the links mentioned in this video. https://accautomation.ca/install-node-red-on-raspberry-pi-4/ In this series we started using Node-RED in some of the following ways: Installing the Windows Software https://accautomation.ca/node-red-installing-the-windows-software/ https://youtu.be/xGzH2Hv31WA Modbus RTU / TCP Communication https://accautomation.ca/node-red-modbus-rtu-tcp-communication/ https://youtu.be/yX1w5vcV6cc User Interface - Dashboards https://accautomation.ca/node-red-user-interface-dashboards/ https://youtu.be/8zAG2wXwGOc SQL Database Log https://accautomation.ca/node-red-sql-database-log-modbus-logging/ https://youtu.be/QHjcNj1S_Mo SQL Database Spreadsheet Connection https://accautomation.ca/node-red-sql-database-spreadsheet-connection/ https://youtu.be/Cd3LvhoMaCI We will continue with the following: Installing Node-RED on a Raspberry Pi 4 single-board computer 00:00 Install Node-RED on Raspberry Pi 00:30 Raspberry Pi update operating system (OS) 01:37 Node-RED Raspberry Pi script to install or update 03:43 Raspberry Pi Static IP Address 04:09 MAC address 04:50 DHCP client daemon (DHCPCD) 06:50 Auto start Node-RED service 07:44 Hardware and starting the Node-RED editor There are several reasons why we are using Node-RED. Here are just a few. - Built on top of the most dependable programming language JavaScript. - JavaScript is flexible and easy to work with on web browsers, server-side, IoT, IIoT projects, and more. - Visual flow type interface making programming easy. - Node will allow JavaScript code to run directly on a computer. - Node-RED is a free, open-source logic engine. - Connect to PLC, PAC, Temperature Controllers, Process Controllers using standard protocols. - Save and read from databases - Easily make the Internet of Things (IoT, IIoT) industrial solutions. Node-RED provides the ability for you to quickly create custom control solutions. ACC Automation https://accautomation.ca/
