Hi Julian,
well I would propose to add the type suffix with ":{typename}" but unfortunately every system has its own types and interpretations. So our current S7 address would look like this: DATA_BLOCKS/1/0 --[would be changed to]--> DATA_BLOCKS/1/0:INT One universal notation for addresses in all drivers will probably not work. For example with Modbus the memory block (Coils or Registers) for example determins the datatype and with Ethernet/IP for example the address will probably look more like: #2#1#5:INT Which means: #{classId}#{instanceId}#{propertyId}:{type} Chris Am 07.08.18, 12:39 schrieb "Julian Feinauer" <j.feina...@pragmaticminds.de>: Hi Chris, I guess I'm fine with everything but perhaps we should try to find a syntax which goes well for all drivers where this feature is needed. Could you post an example string for such a suffix? And I'm definetly for a "guessing" feature to keep support for the current API.

I think this shouldn't be a problem. All we need are more pattern matchers. What we do need however is an extension of the existing format to add the type ... Not quite sure if we should prefix the existing strings with a type or add them with a suffix. I think I would prefer a suffix ... If we make it a suffix, we could make it optional and guess a fitting default type if omitted (same behavior as now)+ Chris Am 03.08.18, 15:53 schrieb "Julian Feinauer" <j.feina...@pragmaticminds.de>: Just a small note to your example, in case of the "DOUBLE" we should write LREAL und relly stick to the TIA naming. Just stating that to avoid confusion.
