Node-RED nodes are available for Opto 22’s industrial programmable automation controllers (PACs). These nodes for PACs help make it easier to prototype and develop applications for connecting physical assets to cloud applications. This visual wiring tool connects edge computing systems such as industrial automation controllers to cloud services such as Amazon Web Services IoT, IBM Watson IoT and Microsoft Azure. Built on Node.js JavaScript runtime, Node-RED takes advantage of a large library—containing more than 500 prebuilt and ready-to-deploy nodes—allowing IIoT application developers to leverage existing software code and deploy it directly into their applications.
