AW: Reading compress Data Block

[Julian Feinauer]

Dear Stefano,

first, welcome to this list and thank you for your kind words!

I, and many others here on the list would love to be able to read "optimized 
Data Blocks" from Siemens.
There are technical as well as legal reasons why we do not provide such a 
driver as of now.
I (and others as well) hope that we will be able to do it one day but so far we 
cant.

In our industrial applications we usually copy the block over to another 
unoptimized Block which we use as "exchange block".
Tim talks a little bit about that in the video we did together on PLC4X:

PLC4X
In our first (technical) webinar Julian Feinauer and Tim Mitsch as members of 
the Project Management Committee (PMC) of PLC4X will introduce the Apache

If you have more questions we will try to help you with that or give you enough 
advice what to tell the PLC programmer guy : )

Best!
Julian

Betreff: Reading compress Data Block

Dear plc4x developer,

my name is Stefano and I am dealing with a project which is briefly reading 
data from a Siemens 1200 or 1500 and use these data to make some statistics.
I am writing a software in Java with your wonderful library but I didn't 
written the PLC software (some automation expert guy wrote that)
The PLC software has some DB I need to read but the PLC use "optimized Data 
Block".
Is there a way to read with PLC4X library an optimized Data Block ?

Many thanks for your work!

Regards,
Stefano Bossi
