+- **Modbus TCP and RTU** communication via a local gateway app
 - **Built-in slave simulator** — simulate a PLC register map without hardware
 - **Real-time data visualization**, profile management, and AI-assisted setup
 - A **REST API** that this Node-RED palette talks to

+1. **Download and start the ModPackQT Gateway app:**
+   Download it from [modpackqt.com/download](https://modpackqt.com/download) and run it.
    By default it listens on **port 8502** (`localhost:8502`).
-   Download `modsim.js` from the ModPackQT app or [modpackqt.com/download](https://modpackqt.com/download).
 
 2. For slave nodes, create and start at least one slave in the ModPackQT app first.
