Hey Chris,

great! That is exactly what I’m Looking for.

Anyways. I’m not in a rush because the uni (as always) works very slow so I’m 
not able to work with the maschine but maybe in a few weeks.

Great stuff you guys doing btw. Finally something to connect both worlds the IT 
and the production line!

Looking forward for the stuff you mentioned!

Hi Titus,

I would in this case suggest that you wait a really small number of days and 
let me implement the PLC simulator a little more first.
The VPN is more for doing some internal testing when implementing new drivers 
and the simulator will be a lot simpler to use.

Together with the simulator I will also probably start writing the long-awaited 
tutorials on PLC4X.

Regarding the listing of resources: We can only provide what is available via 
the Protocol. Right now the S7 protocol doesn't support listing of resources. 
There might be a way around this by inspecting the source-code of the PLC 
program automatically, but we haven't started working on this yet.
If we come to implement the new TIA flavor of the S7 protocol, then listing of 
resources is supported and we'll definitely implement it.

    Hey Chris,
    
    thanks for the quick response! I subscribed for the mailing list today to
    stay updated.
    
    I'm a more or less beginner in programming and Java programming in
    particulare.
    
    My Task is to get all Kind of data out of the PLC with pre-defined
    variables like DB/I/O. Up to this Point I was just able to work with an
    unknown PLC and no back-up System like the SIMANTIC Manager or the TwinCAT.
    My steps were to get the data with some of your code examples posted
    online. The biggest struggle was that I could just randomly try to get the
    data from DB/I/O without knowing the value of the variables (because it was
    ether true/false or just some int values).
    I also read that you are working on listing the values which are used in
    the PLC. That would be a great feature.
    
    So to sum it up, I would just try my plc code on a running PLC Programm.
    
    Titus
