Fail to install node-red-industrial.snap

Hello all,

I tried to install node-red-industrial snap file to ctrlX.

I followed below link to download snap file.

https://snapcraft.io/install/node-red-industrial/ubuntu#install

And install snap on ctrlx but the result as below.

node-red-industrial_30.snap  Upload failed! exit status 1

The reason for installation is to use ethernet IP | siemense | industrial protocol for gathering the data.

Do you have any idea to install it? or other way to gather the data.

Why don't you simply extend the Node-RED app provided by Rexroth? As mentioned in the link you sent there are following extensions.

  • node-red dashboard (already available)
  • CtrlX-Automation-Contrib
  • OPCUA contrib
  • node-red-contrib-cip-ethernet-ip
  • node-red-contrib-s7
  • MongoDB3
  • Influxdb

See this thread for further information about extending pallets.

For your problem please beware that you will need the arm64 version of the snap on a real ctrlX CORE and you have to enable the installation from unknown sources. Also make sure there is enough space left on the device.

For further version of the ctrlX COREplus there will be an Ethernet/IP adapter and scanner be available as extension module.

Another possibility would be to use the Ethernet/IP library and softstack of Codesys that can be used in the ctrlX CORE - PLC app:
