The main issue I think was that some addresses don't contain the type. Initially we only had the option to add the simple values. But this caused problems, because the driver had no way to see the real type it should send to the PLC. We were seeing that for example people passed in an "integer", which would be converted to an DINT and when sending a DINT to a field that's an USINT, this causes issues. Also when writing a UDT or an array, we can't pass in a primitives, but we need to pass in PlcList or PlcStruct objects. In general we would have 2 options: - Extend every address string with the type at the end - Require the user to pass in PlcValues of the expected type I'm personally leaning more towards the fully qualified address option ... however, as mentioned this fails for structs (For arrays we could find a way around it). -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
