Hi, well actually you're joining the party to the exact right time ;-) ... Today I finally got the last parts delivered for setting up my CompactLogix controller ... we recently got quite a major refactoring of the existing EIP driver. However I wasn't able to actvely test it ... till now. So it is possible to read the tags and datatype information from the PLC and to read and write these UDT (User Defined Types ... for the others). We have somerhing similar in the Beckhoff ADS driver ... however the default is returning a map of strongly typed PlcValue objects (Objects wrapping the typical IEEE datatypes). We also have OPM (Object Persistence Mapping???) ... which you could use to annotate POJOs ... however this is a tool that hasen't received any updates for the last years. In theory it would make sense to combine the two ... to pass in an annotated class type and to receive populated objects, but that would be something someone would have to work on ... maybe you? ;-) So I will be working on the EIP driver quite a lot in the next 1,5 months ... However can't I do any pormisses as another paid gig has priority over this. However, if you want to help working on this, any help is greatly appreciated and I would be happy to help you.
