Hey Chris, this is great! We here have only access to one S7 1500 and a Modbus device. Can you create an account for me? Or do I have to go through a more formal request process? : ) Best Julian Am 31.07.18, 14:51 schrieb "Christofer Dutz" : And I think I forgot one important

Hi Julian, no .. no contracts involved. I am trying to bring more people on board and they too seem to be working on something similar to PLC4X, but currently have only managed to get S7 support working. They seemed very interested in joining forces. Unfortunately we never really managed

Hey Chris, yes, we definetly consider both (Mallorca is set!). Do you have contacts to the guys from the University or how should we notify them? Julian Am 31.07.18, 14:13 schrieb "Christofer Dutz" : Hi Julian, I think we should think about both options.

Hi Julian, I think we should think about both options. And I would gladly come by and meet with you guys. At the university of Stuttgart there are one or two people also interested in PLC4X, maybe it would be a good chance to get them to come too. Chris Am 31.07.18, 11:59 schrie

Hey Chris, I get your point regarding reading "basic" types and I agree. And the idea with the mapping I had was indeed meant not directly on the plc level but as you outlined one level above where plc4j takes care of generating a suitable set of requests and assembles the struct for the resu

Hi Chris, this sounds really awesome and I would love to join you. And I think alongside me two other members of our team which are currently getting into plc4j would come with us. I really like the idea of getting together and speaking personally. 3-4 days are fine if we do it over a weeken

Hi all, I know that I have asked this before, but I think I should do this again … Hopefully this time there will be more interest in it. I will also be inviting some people who are not on the list. As I mentioned before, my company has a Finca on the Island of Mallorca (Spain). This Finca can
