Node-RED and IT Library

Hello,

1. I want to install Note-red on the AXC-F-2152 to send an SMS or an e-mail when there is an error on an input or when a value changes.
I have followed the following instructions for installation.

Unfortunately I only get to the point where “ipkg install gcc” has to be installed. Do I have to buy a memory card from Phönix Contact or are there other ways to install Node-red with full functionality on the controller. 2.
I have also seen that there is an IT_library in the plc next store with which you can send an e-mail. Our controller is connected to a mobile router. I have read that the SMTP client does not support GPRS. If the mobile router is in GPRS mode, does this mean that the function block does not send any mail? I have also added pictures of the features of the ewon router. Many thanks in advance Best Regards

Hello robo7795, regarding your first question, I’d like to recommend, that you run Node-Red in a Docker container. Further information can be found at the following link: https://www.plcnext-community.net/de/discussions-2-offcanvas/node-red-installation.html The second question I will forward to my colleagues who are responsible for support of IT library. They will answer your request as soon as possible ~Eduard

Hello robo7795, regarding your request about the IT library, I received the following information from FB development: “Please note that the function block cannot be used for GPRS communication!” The FB is not released for this case. ~Eduard

Hello Eduard, thank you for reply. If I open this link I get an error message. Is there another option where I can open this website. https://www.plcnext-community.net/de/discussions-2-offcanvas/node-red-installation.html Best Regards robo7795
