I think it worth investing on this. especially by this new release of FactoryTalk Linx Gateway v6.50

Release note from v6.50

Professional version of FT Linx Gateway now deliver Logix Extended Tag properties, and Tag-Based Alarm, it is also an MQTT publisher,
I think this is a huge thing that Rockwell decided to release them for any third-party client. I tested Extended tags properties, was readable easily. I think you dont need to change anything at PLC. Just build the objects as per FT View in Ignition.

Linx Gateway works fine, I am running it at 400,000 tags in our plant and seems fine, we don't have any problem with Citect. Rockwell capped it to 500,000.
I guess if someone makes PlantPax 5 objects and use Gateway, could be good solution.

I never hesitate to recommend using FTLinx as an option. The only problem(s) for some people is it’s an additional piece of software they need at an additional cost, and it requires Windows.

*exaggerated for dramatic effect, although it's probably not far off!!
