Has support for the array type in the Siemens Driver been added?

Currently I am feeding a DWORD array though Kepware and then consuming this in Ignition as a trial

Example on Kepware would be DB42.DBD0.1.5

Where as DB42.DBD0 is the first DWORD in the DB, then .1.5 is the first element of the array, length of 5.

This can pulled into Ignition via Kepware.

Is there support that Ignition can read the PLC directly and pull the 5 DWORDs at once in an array?

No, you would just create the 5 DWORD tags individually in Ignition. The driver will take care of reading all 5 at once, though.
