5. Next steps
The libraries' own documentation
Each library has its own guide, with a getting-started page, a reference for
every block and pin, worked examples and troubleshooting.
| Library | Start with |
|---|---|
| ModBee Node UIO | node-uio docs: analog inputs and outputs, calibration, retained variables, pulse counting, sleep |
| ModBee Node UIO Web UI | node-webUI docs |
| BeeBus | modbee-beebus docs |
| Modbus | modbee-modbus docs |
| MQTT and Sparkplug B | modbee-mqtt docs |
| GSM | modbee-gsm docs |
| OTA | modbee-ota docs |
| ModBee Utilities | modbee-utilities docs |
| ModBee Devices | modbee-devices docs |
Every block also explains itself in the editor: select it in the Library
panel and its description appears in the box below the library tree.
The Node UIO hardware
Wiring, terminals, power, the analog inputs' voltage or current setting
(a solder bridge on the board), and HATs are in the
modbee-node-uio repository.
The OpenPLC Editor
The ModBee editor works like the OpenPLC Editor, so OpenPLC's own
documentation applies: the languages, the editor's screens and debugging.
See the OpenPLC Editor documentation.
Remember that ModBee boards and libraries need the
ModBee editor.
Things to try next
- Read an analog sensor: add an
ANALOG_INblock afterDIGITAL_IN, and
see node-uio analog. - Keep a value through a power cut: declare it
RETAIN. See
retained variables. - Run a pump properly: the
modbee-utilitiespump blocks add run
feedback, faults, alarms, run hours and HMI messages. - Talk to other devices: a Modbus sensor on RS485 with
modbee-modbus,
or report to SCADA withmodbee-mqtt.
