Hi, I think that in nowadays “energy efficiency” focus on all activities (industry, building, tansportation…), BACnet should be a good option too. Beside this, the object and service orientation of BACnet would be a great match with Ignition UDT/Templating… ---

A first vote for a Beckhoff driver. Beckhoff uses a open protocol so that can be no problem for the Inductive team 😉 Any updates regarding the SNMP driver? ---

Passive TCP driver. Or an option to choose between active/passive connection in TCP driver. I have a handheld WLAN scanner IDM140WLAN from SICK, which I can’t use (I have just been on phone with the support), because scanner is also making active connection. ---

An ADS driver for beckhoff would be great. Beckhoff has a java api which you can develop your own driver. Here are examples of that.

Ignition 7.7 will include a new Logix driver that works with v21 firmware (as well as older firmwares). There’s no other drivers in active development right now. ---

DNP3 is a must for Ignition to be used in electric utilities. I would really like to see a DNP3 driver. [Previous page](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/the-new-next-driver-poll/3242.md?page=1) [Next page](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/the-new-next-driver-poll/3242.md?page=3)
