### What would you like to happen? It would be useful if the Plc4XConsumer would be able to poll the state of tags every x seconds/milliseconds. There is the possibility of adding a "trigger" with a period (I believe in milliseconds). I couldn't figure out exactly how this works from the documentation, but it seems that a plc tag needs to trigger the polling instead of it being solely time-based. Right now I'm using a work-around in my own code by using a PollingConsumer that stops and starts the Plc4XConsumer for every request. But this isn't ideal. So, I wanted to add the possibility to poll plc tags every x seconds/milliseconds. I have two possibilities in mind for configuring this: - The polling is activated if a period is configured without a trigger - Add a new field for activating the polling, I could call it "pollingInterval" for example I would appreciate some input for what is preferred. ### Programming Languages - [X] plc4j - [ ] plc4go - [ ] plc4c - [ ] plc4net ### Protocols - [ ] AB-Ethernet - [ ] ADS /AMS - [ ] BACnet/IP - [ ] CANopen - [ ] DeltaV - [ ] DF1 - [ ] EtherNet/IP - [ ] Firmata - [ ] KNXnet/IP - [ ] Modbus - [ ] OPC-UA - [ ] S7 -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
