Not sure how familiar you are with oil and gas, but kepware, universal server, and autosol all have specialized drivers that not only poll the devices, but also collect historical information out of flow computers, namely abb totalflow, bristol babcock, and Omni.
These are extremely expensive.
A totalflow driver where you could add the device thru scripting would be awesome. From what I know, totalflow probably holds 60-70% of the natural gas flow measurement market.
A modbus driver capable of doing 32 bit floats out of a single register(enron modbus) would be useful in the oil and gas market.
I’m not an expert and I don’t know if whether it is worth or what you can reuse of existing driver, but, Ignition Siemens Drivers implementation don’t support all the siemens plc models, but I think this library have wide support (seems to be the Java version of another library that has support for S7 300/400/1200/1500/WinAC/Sinamics/LOGO! 0BA7/S7 200 via CP243, according to this). It’s LGPLv3

Has anybody worked with Ignition and Emerson OpenBSI Bristol OPC Server (ObjectServer)? If so, how did you get Ignition communicating with the OpenBSI OPC server to collect real time data and the Alarms and events from ControlWave devices?
