Hello, We need driver for IEC 60870-5 101/104. In europe it is widely used within within communication with switchgears and other electrical devices. We use Ignition 8.1. Will Ignition support this protocol in future? Best regards, Tadeja ---

Kepware has a IEC 60870-5 driver. There have been a couple other requests for an Ignition driver for this protocol but it's not on any roadmap right now. I can't say for certain if it will or will not be available in the future. ---

I just replied to the other forum post asking for this … is this still needed? If yes, I might be able to help.
