*## Description*: The mission of the Apache PLC4X project is creating a set of libraries for
communicating with industrial programmable logic controllers (PLCs) using a variety of protocols but with a shared API. *## Project Status:* Current project status: Ongoing with moderate activity Issues for the board: none *## Membership Data:* Apache PLC4X was founded 2019-04-16 (6 years ago) There are currently 21 committers and 13 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 3:2. *Community changes, past quarter:* - No new PMC members. Last addition was César García on 2021-09-30. - No new committers. Last addition was Jinlin Hong on 2022-11-02. *## Project Activity:* There have been significant improvements in the Modbus, S7 and OPC-UA libraries, especially in relation to performance and the implementation of specific features of each driver. The native implementations (SPI) of the libraries in Python, Java and Go have also been improved, as well as the associated documentation. Part of the team continues to work on options for the development of tools that allow the expedited use of the libraries through gateways and through the use of graphical interfaces and thus expand the user base of “plc4x”, from programmers to end users. A positive balance is maintained in the opening and closing of Issues on Github. Based on these improvements and bug fixes, it is expected that the issue (0.13.0) will be made shortly. *## Community Health:* Our community has seen a 58% increase in mailing list traffic. The traffic generated is mainly related to the addition of new features, bug fixes and, to a lesser extent, the addition of new features which are managed by project members and specific contributions. The community made significant improvements to the website, improving its presentation and dynamic display. Part of the community actively promotes the use and benefits of Plc4x on professional networks, as well as the technical achievements of the libraries developed and their integration into different architectures. In the specific case of LinkedIn, a record of more than 500 followers was achieved on the Plc4x channel on LinkedIn. -- *CEOS Automatización, C.A.* *GALPON SERVICIO INDUSTRIALES Y NAVALES FA, C.A.,* *PISO 1, OFICINA 2, AV.
