This is a Node-RED node module to directly interface OMRON PLCs over FINS Ethernet protocol. For now it only supports direct data readout from memory but it's VERY user friendly. More functions will be added when needed. Credits to Patrick Servello (patrick--) for his implementation of the FINS node backbone.

Make a directory for the base files on the disk (somewhere secure) and open the created folder and open PowerShell (SHIFT + right_click) or "Git Bash Here" with right mouse inside the folder. Now enter the following:
git clone https://github.com/Jozo132/node-omron-read.git
setx NODE_PATH %AppData%\npm\node_modules
set NODE_PATH=%AppData%\npm\node_modules
cd node-omron-read
npm link
cd ..
cd ~/.node-red
npm install C:/Users/----/AppData/npm/node_modules/node-omron-read
Open global node_modules folder, clone as superuser (sudo) and npm install the module into node-red
cd /usr/local/lib/node_modules
sudo git clone https://github.com/Jozo132/node-omron-read.git
npm install --prefix ~/.node-red node-omron-read
- Restart Node-RED and there's the thingy now
