Are you able to share any information on any new features/abilities? or even a timeline?
There are several schools of thought on this and we are back and forth on which we are going to do. What things would you like to see?
The things I would like to see in no particular order would be,
- DNP3-SA support
- Profinet support
- More memory for larger UDT types > 64DWords
- Double length tag/nicknames
- More than 1 level of nesting in a UDT
- Structured Text support
- A folder structure to sort/group programs and tasks in the project browser ect. e.g. A program that controls a pump, and calls separate tasks for different functions can be nested underneath
We are based in Australia and our work is mostly with Water Authorities and these are the protocols that they use including Ethernet/IP but that is already supported.
We have already started using a few of the OPCUA poms and so far they have been a great addition but DNP3 is our biggest hindrance in using more BRX.
I understand everyone has different use cases and ours might be the minority but that’s my 2 cents.
