Is there any plan for Siemens symbolic Addressing support by ignition driver for S71500? Siemens OPC have some limitation. and we got a lot of requests to use native driver. I hope to see this soon .

There's only 1 month left in this year, not happening.

Did you have to offer up your firstborn to gain access to the protocol specification? /:

We never gained access, we're using a native library from a 3rd party vendor (the same native library Kepware's "S7 Plus" driver uses). It's from a German company who reverse engineered it all.

Does that mean it will be Windows-only?

Windows and Linux fortunately. But not macOS.

We’re evaluating this right now: Efficient communication between PC and controller

So far nothing that’s a dealbreaker, but basically the Java bindings are incomplete (compared to the native interfaces) and very obviously written by a non native English speaker who probably never used Java.

Ok, makes sense. Needs some IA time/resources beyond just using the API to flesh out the JNI.
