Store Machine ID in a table with Node RED API

[paul.genoud]

Hi all,

I’m using an edge IO to collect data from production work orders thanks to a flashing camera.
My camera is flashing barcode on my products.

In my table I would like to store the Machine but I don’t manage to send to TULIP the name of the machine via TULIP API in node Red.

If I configure the column Machine as a text, it works fine but I would like to keep the “machine” format for my column.

Do you know how to do it ?

Thanks !
Paul

Hi Paul,

Could I ask a clarifying question - have you already tried sending in Machine ID (instead of a Name)?

The Node Red API is expecting an ID as the parameter for Machine – not Name.

In case this is helpful, here’s how to figure out the Machine ID:

• To manually find the ID, open the machine page on the cloud and the id of the machine will be in the URL.
• To programmatically find the ID, you can use the Machines API: List Tulip machine types and their corresponding machines. - Tulip Machines

Does this help? Thank you!
