Hi all, my name is Matthias and I'm studying mechanical engineering at the University of Stuttgart. Currently, I'm doing my bachelor thesis at the "Institute for Control Engineering of Machine Tools and Manufacturing Units".
The task of my thesis is to define and implement a model for the automatic generation of protocol drivers in different programming languages for PLC4X, using template-based code generation. My supervisor Matthias Strljic recommended to introduce myself to this mailing list to get in contact with the developers of the project and maybe get some help with questions that might arise during my thesis. In the repository and the documentation, I have seen that there are already different parts of the drivers which are automatically generated. Nevertheless, I have some difficulties getting a deeper understanding of the current driver generation process. I would be pleased if someone would be willing to give me a rough overview of the current status of the project and the approaches used for the driver generation. Regards Mattias
