The Apache PLC4X team is pleased to announce the release of Apache PLC4X 0.12.0
PLC4X is a set of libraries for communicating with industrial programmable logic controllers (PLCs) using a variety of protocols but with a shared API. This release was mainly a release containing many bugfixes. We literally halved the number of open issues. A second major topic would have been another API streamlining in preparation for the big 1.0.0 release. The API was extended by additional features, that now allow tools to automatically provide support for tool assist when connecting to devices. Now additional information such as: - Which transports does a given driver support? - Which is the default transport for a given driver? - Which configuration-options does a driver have? - What types are these configuration options? - What are the default-values these configuration options have? - Which of these configuration options are required? - The same set of information is also available for the transports a driver is using. Especially the S7, Modbus and OPC-UA drivers received the most bugfixes and improvements. S7 now supports all supported S7 datatypes. Modbus should now also work in Serial modes. OPC-UA now supports certificate based communication. Visit the Apache PLC4X website [1] for general information or the downloads page [2] for release notes and download information.
