https://github.com/cmseaton42/node-ethernet-ip/blob/master/src/controller/index.js That version doesn’t have the await

const { Controller, Tag } = require("ethernet-ip");

const PLC = new Controller();

// Add some tags to group
PLC.subscribe(new Tag("TestRead")); // Controller Scope Tag

PLC.connect("10.115.45.52", 0).then(() => {
	console.log("Connected to PLC!");
	console.log(PLC.properties);
 
	PLC.scan_rate = 1500;
	
	// Begin Scanning
	PLC.scan();
});

// Catch the Tag "Changed" and "Initialized" Events
PLC.forEach(tag => {
	// Called on the First Successful Read from the Controller
	tag.on("Initialized", tag => {
		console.log("Initialized", tag.value);
	});

	// Called if Tag.controller_value changes
	tag.on("Changed", (tag, oldValue) => {
		console.log("Changed:", tag.value);
	});
});
