The RD6006-W power supply is a quasi-professional device, providing up to 60V, 6A (360 Watt), very complete with high-level functions. It is also possible to control it from the front panel, or via WIFI with an APP from a smartphone, or via USB with the software on PC WIN.

The way to integrate RD6006 in node-red fallows some steps:
- is the reverse engineering of the MODBUS protocol: see RD6006_prototocol_en.pdf
- test nodes to have a working flow: see ModBus_test_RD6006.jso
Application: NiMH Battery Charger Logger
