> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PLC4X-133
> Project: Apache PLC4X
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Driver-ADS
> Affects Versions: 0.4.0
> Environment: Client
> - JDK 8
> - Windows 10
> - TwinCAT3 v3.1.4022.29
> PLC
> - Beckhoff IPC C6920-0030
> - Intel Core 2 Duo mit Windows 7 64Bit
> - Twincat XAE 3.1.4022.29 (64Bit Runtime)
> Reporter: Martin
> Priority: Minor

>
> For some reason the response of the PLC seems not to be in *LITTLE_ENDIAN*
> format.
> Therefore, the Byte to Integer conversion in [1] results in a negative number.
>
> The issue occurs during the *symbolHandle* creation process in [2].
>
> I had a look at the ADS specification [3] and the response should be in
> *LITTLE_ENDIAN* format, but for some reason it is not.
>
> As suggested by [~cdutz] we should create an option to override the
> endianness in the connection-string.
